Hep,

New version of Situations (2.6.86) is now available for early access in familiar location:
http://www.pastillilabs.com/situations/sailfish

Consider it beta that can screw up your current configuration, though. It is not submitted to Harbour yet as I'm hoping somebody does install it first and reports back if there are problems in the update.

Biggest changes are on Android side (support for Marshmallow), but there is some general & Sailfish specific development as well:

- Fixed evaluation of timed situations after restart
- New json storage format (the most potential source of problems in the update)
- New vibration action available in the downloads

The new storage format should make it easier to do manual changes to situations configuration. That is, you can edit at least /home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-situations2application/harbour-situations2application/situations2/situations.json by hand - for example to add or remove cell ids as the current UI remains quite limited for that sort of use case. You can of course also mess the configuration and kill the app by doing weird stuff there, so be careful

Also, note that storage gets read in application startup only. You should stop the app completely before doing any manual changes. Otherwise they will most likely just get overwritten. Initial conversion to json format will be done only when necessary, so you might need to edit something from the app first.

No documentation on the format is (or will be) available and no guarantees that it will stay the same.

Br,
Heikki
