V4.2.2

What's Changed

• When using UI V2 it's now possible to update directly from github releases rather than uploading the update file manually, this update method is preferable since it removes the possibility of uploading the incorrect update for the hardware.
• New user interface ( both UI V1 and V2 are available on this release, each platform have 2 files builds ending by "_gui-v1" and "_gui-v2" )
• New network manager
• New energy meter, count session kWh, daily, weekly, yearly, total (on esp32)
• New Limit engine based on time, energy, SOC, range ( UI V2 only ). Limits can be set from main page for session limits, and Config / Evse for system limits ( survive session & reboot )
• OCPP upgrade to security profile 2 & improvements
• Better three-phase setup calculations: new three_phase parameter to set in Config / Evse tab ( UI2 only ) .
• and a lot of bug fixes ( see full changelog below )

Notice:

• EmonEVSE and other T2 socket un-thethered openEVSE setups should update OpenEVSE module firmware to >= 8.2.3
• 8.2.3 OpenEVSE fw will prevent a charge at startup if the Wifi/Ethernet module hasn't unlocked it first (BOOTLOCK), ( requires ESP32_WiFi
  firmware >= 4.2.1), update is not mandatory.
