Welcome to the major release 3.0!

The new release now provides full functionality required to maintain the MAX! cube. The official software is not needed anymore. The devices and rooms can be added, removed, renamed. This information can be saved into a configuration file and then restored back. I hope this will help with malfunctioned cubes losing their wits so many people have.

Note, this was a large overhaul, a lot of things were reverse-engineered. So please have patience, if something does not work. It was tested as much of possible, but there is always the "last bug".

Here is the complete list of changes:

Thermostat scanning procedure's error handling has been improved;

Indicating of faulty and orphaned devices was added;

A button and dialog were added to remove faulty devices;

Pairing devices was added;

Devices and rooms renaming was added;

Devices deletion was added;

Devices wake up button has been added;

Exporting devices to ELV MAX! software was added;

Saving and restoring the topology of devices and rooms was added;

Cube's NTP server setting was added;

Tracing to file in appending mode added;

When restoring configuration of devices or setting parameters of devices the devices are woken up.
