Just a minor tweak if you refer to the release notes.
I agree on the font selection. I’ve always liked Arial myself.
As to time frame, we could all guess until the cows come home. I wouldn’t think that a re-write of the code would be anywhere near as difficult as a design-from-scratch project because all the clever stuff has been nutted out in old code and just has to be translated or modified. That assumes that BAE2 v1 would look and feel exactly like BAE1 (but expanded variables and code for 64 bit operation), and the improvements would flow on after that.
As a programmer myself, I find that the design and code module stages are the most time consuming. I have translated many systems from one language to another quite quickly once the structure is in place. I spent a lot of time before the dreaded Y2K bug doing exactly that.
I know that BAE has presented quite the dilemma as it currently sells for US$30 compared to BA1 with HD core at US$160. Would the BAE market stretch to the additional cost? I don’t think so.
Interesting approach. I must experiment more. I have an Auto Hot Key (AHK) script which does a few things on my playout system, including Stop, Pause, Next Track, Previous Track etc and I have added a button to toggle Bypass on/off to that panel.
This is the code to turn Bypass On.
REM Set Bypass Processing option to ON curl --silent --output nul http://OTSBOX:8282/parameter/hd1/proc/bypass_proxy=1and Off.
REM Set Bypass Processing option to OFF curl --silent --output nul http://OTSBOX:8282/parameter/hd1/proc/bypass_proxy=0When I play vinyl, I like to turn off BA1 processing using the “Bypass” option. I currently do this via a batch file which executes the http link via cURL. I’ll experiment to see if can get the assistant to do that.
A new version (3.32.47) has been released. It is not going to appease those of you demanding specific changes, but there has been pressure from within the radio industry to move into Home Assistant support using MQTT.
How to use:
In BA1, enable MQTT support, configure your broker settings
In BA1 WEB admin, select the parameters you wish to export to MQTT – Only currently supports status items, sensors/binary sensors. Control is still handled via HTTP only.Your MQTT broker should now have a topic set in homie/BreakawayOneInstance
If you have Home Assistant installed, and MQTT Discovery enabled (sometimes called MQTT Statestream), your BA1 settings should just magically appear as sensors to apply to dashboards, including metering and states (binary sensors). They will also DISAPPEAR when you shut down BA1, but not the automations built around them. This is normal Home Assistant behavior.

There is a new website in the wind, but it is not quite ready at this moment.
Meanwhile, there has been a maintenance release which you can download from this temporary link.- https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LcXw3X2eCw1KDNm0oFV69NpCafyDusj/view?usp=drive_link

To answer your question, yes, that is the procedure. It always pays to export your configuration before an upgrade in case there are settings which get lost in the install process.
The latest official release on their website is 3.32.05. If you are running a later version already, I am at a loss as to where it came from.
I’ll do some experimenting. I use BA1 as a service and use the remote management package to make any adjustments, so I’ve never experienced the problem you describe. Is there some reason why you can’t take the same approach?
I’ll try to find out why it was deleted from the build. Knowing the way Leif works, I would think that the code is still there, but the option to adjust has been removed from the screen. If we can confirm that, and then see if there is a work-around to any legal problems, it might be able to be re-instated.
