Many thanks to all for this.

I upgraded to V6 this morning with only very minor problems, all of my 
own making.

  * Somehow I ended up with root owning everything and no execute privs
    - easily fixed
  * I needed to make a couple of changes to Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm to
    allow my own enhancement in 'sub set' to allow devices detected
    elsewhere to be marked inactive or umplugged e.g. unplugged is for
    devices temporarily unplugged like Xmas tree lights active is used
    for those found not to be working but ought to be OK so as not to
    tie up the http request for devices that cannot answer.

Once these had been fixed it has worked flawlessly.

Next step is to implement Home Assistant and the HA Bridge.
I'm going to leave Misterhouse doing all of the logic and use HA as a 
gateway and UI layer.
I'm thinking of having 2 items.mht files one to use the HA bridge and 
another with direct connections via Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm  so I can have 
a quick failover if/when HA dies.

Thanks again
Giles

I didn’t generate the documentation and update sourceforge, as I don’t think that site is used much, and honestly the documentation hasn’t really been updated consistently. I also updated the CHANGELOG after the tagging of files, since github_changelog_generator takes over an hour to run due to github rate limiting.

I think I got the release correct, thanks again to Lieven for the great step by step instructions. I didn’t generate the documentation and update sourceforge, as I don’t think that site is used much, and honestly the documentation hasn’t really been updated consistently. I also updated the CHANGELOG after the tagging of files, since github_changelog_generator takes over an hour to run due to github rate limiting.

But, the important thing is that there is a new baseline, and I think it’s great. I’ve been able to leverage the broad Home Assistance device support, and bring objects into MH for logic and control.

I probably missed some improvements on the changelog page, I’m sorry if I missed a contribution. Thanks again for everyone who updated master for the release.
