As the 4.4.1 build had no issue reports, I've just uploaded this to Google Play. The release needs manual approval by Google as they have new guidelines that required us to declare it's not a financial App. https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/wiki/History *Version 4.4.1 (2024-03-02)* <https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/wiki/History#version-4…> * Migration to Firebase Cloud Messaging * Add VW e-Up charger settings (for firmware 3.3.004) * Charge dialog enhancements, * General fixes & optimizations *APK downloads:* * Public releases: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/tree/master/release * Latest build: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/tree/master/latest Thanks to all contributors!

dexters-web.de has moved to a new server
by Michael Balzer 03 Mar '24

Everyone, I've just moved dexters-web.de & ovms.dexters-web.de to a new server. If you already used the name ovms.dexters-web.de to access the server, you don't need to change anything. If you still want to or need to use the IP address, you need to change that to the new IP: 85.195.96.186 Port forwarding will be stopped in about two weeks. Please contact me in case of any issues. Regards, Michael -- Michael Balzer * Helkenberger Weg 9 * D-58256 Ennepetal Fon 02333 / 833 5735 * Handy 0176 / 206 989 26

Android App Java→Kotlin migration
by Michael Balzer 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Everyone, for those not following the Android repository updates: thanks to the great help & efforts of Franco Sabadini (https://github.com/francos, not sure if he's also subscribed here), the Android App is now heading towards a full migration from Java to Kotlin. This is currently done in the dedicated "migrate-kotlin" branch, but "master" is now frozen until this is finished & merged, as Java changes cannot be merged into Kotlin automatically. So, for any new submissions, please base your code on the "migrate-kotlin" branch until further notice. To test the current Kotlin state, please install the latest build from the "migrate-kotlin" branch: * https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/tree/migrate-kotlin/la… For those not familiar with Kotlin: it's basically a clean Java concept reimplementation, very similar but more readable & versatile. It's compiled into Java VM byte code using the same ABIs, so coexists & cooperates with Java classes in the same application. That's also the current state of the implementation, Franco has reworked the core classes, the UI classes are still Java. Please leave feedback on any issues you might find here: * https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/issues/150 Regards, Michael -- Michael Balzer * Helkenberger Weg 9 * D-58256 Ennepetal Fon 02333 / 833 5735 * Handy 0176 / 206 989 26
