== EVENTS ==
- JavaScript actions and callback functions
- new INIT event, triggered at start-up and every time events.txt is modified
- new DATESET action to set the server's hardware clock
- new CAMERAVIEW event
- new HTTP event
- new ID.unitid.address = bits:<0|1>... syntax to use the Write Multiple Coils function
- new $SUNAZIMUTH$ and $SUNELEVATION$ built-in variables
- new UISESSIONSET action, used in combination with USER events, allows session-based UI control in EVENTS
- new PAGE project = page event, triggered on every page change or reload
- new $HAMASTER$ built-in variable, is set to 1 when master mode or HA not configured, or 0 when slave mode
- new HAACTIVE persistent event, is true when the server is active (see the high availability features)
- new HAACTIVE = [true | false] action, set to false to force a master to become inactive (has no effect on the slave system)
- with counter data loggers, you can use DATALOGGER name = "error" or any other not numeric value to reset the internal delta baseline
- when the original value of the variable and the operator's value are both numbers ending with %, the arithmetic operation will retain the % in the result
== Java API ==
