[Ovmsdev] Things left to do, before production

Sun Mar 18 19:36:34 HKT 2018

I have replaced the "power down modem" option by a check of the default interface and appropriate warning. As the network manager now selects the best interface
available there is no point in a temporary modem power down.

The OTA commands now store the most recently used URLs and paths used.

The api.openvehicles.com server is very slow from here. Flashing from there needs up to two minutes, I've added an info for the user in the flash popup dialog.

Flashing from my server takes around 15 seconds, which is good. If you want to test which one is faster for you, I currently push my builds to:

ovms.dexters-web.de/f/ovms3.bin

Regards,
Michael
