A few strange issues on the upgrade journey to 4.02:
- Upgraded to 3.2.66 a few days ago - seemed to be some mid-cycle changes on the pathway to 4.x, and it wouldn't restart after the update. I had to 'sudo pip3 install future' to fix the missing dependency.
- Today, after updating to 4.02, everything restarted correctly except the programs 'tab'. When selected it would fail out to "internal error" (or some similar text). Restarting the Pi or systemctl the service etc. didnt seem to make difference. After an hour of hacking around, it suddenly came back; I had resaved lots of things, auto/manual, system on/off etc. but no real changes. I did backup my data/program*.json files straight after the upgrade, might set them back again to see if they were involved. No real concerns here, just marking it in case someone else see's the same thing.
My current problem is the station programs don't show in the day/time schedule dashboard, perhaps indicating the scheduler won't run ? I've tried to fix through deleting all programs, re-adding them and have restarted many times - just can't get them to show up. The PI date/time and all configuration looks OK. Just the scheduler appears to be broken, or something in my old settings didnt quite port across the versions ? FWIW the stations all still work manually.
BTW: Dan, thanks for all your efforts. Really appreciate your long term updates and support !
