- Setting
PRIVACY_MODE=1
hides everything and just displays an XKCD comic
- Point at OpenWeatherAPI version 3. Added by jcolladosp
- Updated instructions for Raspberry Pi OS October 2023 edition, which comes with Python 3.11 and breaks a few dependencies.
- Ability to set the timezone name for Google Calendar, with the
GOOGLE_CALENDAR_TIME_ZONE_NAME
variable. This is necessary if you're using Google's Family Calendar feature, which is hardcoded to UTC.
- Breaking change - the setup now runs under a Python virtual environment for safety and easy recovery. If you are updating, rerun the README instructions.
- Localization - the time format and date format will now be formatted according to the Raspberry Pi's default locale. Usually this is
en_GB
but can be changed usingraspi-config
. - The font used to display the text will also be based on the Raspberry Pi's locale. Whatever
fc-match sans-serif
says is the font that gets used. The default for most Western locales is DejaVu Sans. - It's possible to pick another locale by setting the
LANG
environment variable in the env.sh, instructions added for that. - It's possible to override the font, I've added instructions for that. But it's really basic. I don't know much about font config.
- Add SMHI (Sweden) as weather provider. Added by hnnweb
- Add code to display on the 7.5 inch B version 2 screen
- Downgrade 'cryptography' as its package was yanked in the wheels. By @jokeum
- Bugfix: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes by @jokeum.
- ICS and CalDav calendar support added by anthonyscorrea
- Moved pip package list into requirements.txt. The package versions are fixed, it's simpler to install, and better stability.
- Refactored the calendar code into providers and simplified the code for better reuse
- Added instructions and VSCode integration for running and debugging the project locally
- Bugfix: an
&
ampersand in event title would cause image generation to crash.
- By default, past calendar events will disappear from the list.
- Added option to show all past events from today,
CALENDAR_INCLUDE_PAST_EVENTS_FOR_TODAY=1

to 2, 3, 4... - Layouts contributed by @feh123 and @jmason
- Added the ability to have custom SVGs added onto the rendered output. Done via
screen-custom-get.py
andscreen-custom.svg
. - Bugfix: Multi day events will now show start and end days. eg, "Monday - Wednesday"
- Use friendly day names for calendar entries, like "Today", "Tonight", "Tomorrow".
- If the calendar entry is within the next 6 days use the day name "Monday" "Tuesday", else use "Mon Apr 18".
- Add Met Éireann weather and alert provider by @jmason
- Add weather.gov as a weather and alert provider
- Add VisualCrossing instructions to the README
- Rename the weather and alert and calendar cache files to use a
cache_
prefix. A little consistency.
- Add cryptography==36.0.0 to setup. It's used by msal, but version 36.0.1 from piwheels produces illegal instruction
- Add gsfonts to setup. It contains Nimbus fonts required by the SVG.
- Updated instructions for Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye. Many dependencies stopped working, fixed it now.
- Removed some dependencies that aren't needed anymore! BCM not needed. WiringPi is deprecated. LibJpeg doesn't look needed.
- Replace Inkscape with CairoSVG. Inkscape broke some commandline args, and CairoSVG seems better suited for commandline anyway.
