Hello folks,

Anyone here still? Loooong and biiiiig refactoring of Situations is finally starting to reach its final stages. And thus there is now a new alpha version available here: https://github.com/pastillilabs/pack...leases/tag/285

This one is a major rewrite of many things inside the application. But, in short, the most crucially visible thing for the user is ditching Sonar and instead running the whole background service process with root privileges. This of course is not optimal state of things, but it was in the end the simplest & fastest solution to overcome all the problems caused by sandboxing and insufficient Harbour allowed APIs.

So, running this version of Situations first time will request user to install situations-daemon package, which will obsolete Sonar. Situations-daemon contains systemd directives for starting the background service + a couple plugins needed to access APIs not allowed in Harbour. All this is also most likely incompatible with any custom auto-start hacks.

Application internal data structures have gone through some major changes and at the same time so has persistent storage. There is a risk that some data will not be correctly imported from the previous version.

Otherwise, I think I managed to get pretty much all functionality working again. Any feedback & bug reports are appreciated

Br,
Heikki
