cleanups

• ** BREAKING CHANGE ** openhab.Timer removed.
  • Can be replaced with default Threading or Timer implementation.
  • No need to register shutdown procedure in the lifecycleTracker anymore
  • Old timer can be found as an example

bugfixes and features

• Register lifecycleTracker dispose hook only if a Timer is used
• Global ZonedDateTime to datetime conversion. ZonedDateTime & Instant is now a registered interop_type
• Add Registry.removeItem, Item.getThings, Item.getChannels, 'Item.getChannelUIDs', Item.getLinks, Item.linkChannel & Item.unlinkChannel => API documentation
• Improved error logs for catched java exceptions in python.
• Fix simple rule decorator (rule instead of rule()). Both variants works now.
• Preview for type hinting (autocompletion)
• BREAKING CHANGE: Changed parameter of Registry.addItem
• BREAKING CHANGE: Replace NotInitialisedException with NotFoundException for getItem, removeItem, getThing, getChannel

bugfixes and cleanups

• Removed "Python => Java" type conversion for sendCommand and postUpdate. Is now handled inside Add-on in a generic way.
• Replace error message "TypeError: invalid instantiation of foreign object" with a more helpful description
  => "One of your function parameters does not match the required value type. Check the openHAB API documentation to confirm correct value type."
• Initial integration tests started

small refactorings

• renamed rule profile option to profiler_enabled
• new rule runtime_measurement option

1.0.3

• Improved error messages for Java Foreign Objects
  • Old like "foreign object has no attribute 'test'"
  • New like "Java instance of 'org.openhab.core.types.UnDefType' has no attribute 'test'"
• Improved java <=> python type conversion
  • Proxy classes for Item, State, Thing, Channel, HistoricItem are now real ChildClasses of Java Foreign Objects
  • As a result, much more object function results are transparently converted, like datetime <=> ZonedDateTime
• Refactored and cleaned Metadata handling
  • Registry.getItemMetadata => Registry.getItem().getMetadata().get
  • Registry.setItemMetadata => Registry.getItem().getMetadata().set
  • Registry.removeItemMetadata => Registry.getItem().getMetadata().remove & Registry.getItem().getMetadata().removeAll
• BREAKING CHANGE
  • State 'DateTimeType' is not converted to a datetime anymore. Instead it stays as a 'DateTimeType', but the method getZonedDateTime returns a datetime. This leads to a much more consistent behavior.
  • Metadata API changed
  • Registry.safeItemName move to Item.buildSafeName

v1.0.2

• refactor and simplify object type mapping.
  This results in a generic solution, wich covers all functions, including upcoming, not yet existing ones.
  Means functions in newer openhab versions are without any update correctly handled.
• fixed internal bundle version parsing for beta, milstone or rc versions
