PADD

Fixes for alignment on PADDtiny. #127

Fixes for Tiny display.

Fix for alignment and font weight issues from v3.3

Add new layout size, "Tiny". Designed for small size displays like the Adafruit 2.8" TFT.

Improve version detection for update check.

Fixes

• Fixed forced Mega mode from @KnownAim's pull request. (It was in the pull notes, my bad.)

Fixes

Thanks @peterg79!

• Fixed version check URL.

Thanks @KnownAim!

• Removed one "=" from lines: 636, 646, 649, 653, 673, 704, 715, 722, 748 and 759 to fix formatting issue
• Fixed DHCP printing issue and artifact cleaning (line 331 and 570)
• Added a magenta underscore for the PADD retro logo and removed one space to compensate. The top of the first D needed another underscore.

Fixes

• Flicker, thanks to #74 by @tgjohnst!

Fixes

• Corrected an issue where users of the slim version of PADD were seeing the mega version of PADD (addresses #48)

Fixes

• Lost a letter "t" in the GetVersionInformation function, which broke the core version check... added it back in.

New

• "Mega" mode: A new, larger version of PADD!
  • Includes everything from "regular" mode with even more information:
    • Number of clients
    • The most recently blocked ad domain, top ad domain, and top served domain and client displayed always
    • Information about FTL and the DNS cache (from #38)
    • More network information is always displayed
  • (If you are using a PiTFT+ and want to try mega mode, change your font to the Terminus 6x12 by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup)
• Improved DNS information
  • PADD will detect if your DNS is 127.0.0.1#5053 which is used for Cloudflared
  • PADD will detect if your router/gateway is your upstream DNS and tell you.
• Connectivity check during the pre-launch
  • PADD will check to see if it's online prior to starting, which should resolve any issues with PADD checking for updates before Pi-hole's up and running

Tweaks

• Removed the US locale requirement (fixes #26, #39)

Fixes

• PADD's version checking code has been completely re-written (fixes #25, #32)
  • PADD will now gracefully handle issues with Pi-hole's version checker returning "ERROR" (which can indicate an error with it talking to GitHub)
  • Any time this occurs, PADD will assume that is up-to-date and display the version number in amber (Don't worry -- PADD will check for updates the next day)
• Fixed my missing logo (#45)

Fixes

• Fixed issue with upstream DNS server counting noted in #43. (Thanks @sheeeng!)

New

• When counting upstream DNS servers, if only one is selected, PADD will look to see if it is 127.0.01#5053, indicating that Cloudflared is being used.

Tweaks

• Refactored back-end code:
  • Cleaned up (almost) every shellcheck error.
  • Removed the dependency of bc. (Thanks @chrisys!)

Fixes

• Fixed date check logic in GetVersionInformation which caused issues with PADD perpetually displaying that it was out of date. (Thanks @tgjohnst!)
• Fixed an issue with core counts being incorrect on non-Pi devices. (Thanks @atiensivu!)
• Fixed an issue with the CPU temperature breaking on virtual machines. (Thanks @ForestFeather!)

New

• Added four additional sizes:
  • Pico, nano, micro and slim. (See “Sizes” in the wiki.)

Tweaks

• Refactored back-end code for ease of maintenance:
  • StartupRoutine is used for the splash screen.
  • SizeChecker is used for determining the size of the screen and what size should be printed to the screen.

Fixes

• Corrects FTL port issue noted in Issue #20.

New

• Renamed project to PADD
• Introduced normal and "mini" modes to account for differing screen sizes
• Added DNS count while getting network information

Tweaks

• Refactored variable and function names
• Added various text, logo and checkbox/status variables

Fixes

• Corrects locale issue noted in Issue #16.
• Merged Pull #18

• Merged Pull #14

New:

• Added status bars
  • Blocked domains now show as a bar graph
  • CPU and memory use in system stats show with bar graphs

Tweaks:

• refactored and cleaned up code

New

• Chronometer2 writes it's PID to file (chronometer2.pid) on start-up. (Inspired by Pull #8. Thanks @bpennypacker!)
