openHABian v1.7.4

Noteworthy changes since last image release:

EVCC Electric Vehicle Charge Controller and
Zigbee2MQTT added as optional components
NodeJS update to v16
Raspberry Pi OS 64bit support
Be aware that running in 64 bit has a major drawback: increased memory usage.
That is not a good idea on a heavily memory constrained platform like a RPi.

openHABian v1.7.2

We had to change Java from Zulu to OpenJDK on pretty short notice.
Sorry for that but Azul (the company to provide Zulu) keeps changing their download API often, resulting in Java being unable to install, leaving new openHABian users in the dark so we decided to switch there a little earlier than we intended.
Zulu will remain as an alternative Java provider for the time being, be aware however that it may fail to install at any time thanks to Azul.
(please drop a note if you notice this is happening but don't expect this to get fixed soon).

We have upgraded our base operating system to Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye.

We will not automatically update your current base system (i.e buster -> bullseye) - don't fix what ain't broken.
Debian buster will be at least supported two more years. If you are eager to upgrade, read up on dist-upgrade or reinstall your system. Please note that if you choose to upgrade and not reinstall, you are on your own, don't expect to get support from the developers of openHABian if something goes wrong.

Maintenance release

to contain all bugfixes to date.
You will need to use this image if you want to install openHAB2 from start using clonebranch=stable .

openHABian v1.6.5

This release is essentially a cumulated set of patches.

These include the important replacement of the Bintray repository.
