Version 2026.2.0 - Huge update

🚀 Huge new Foodsharing update

This release makes the Foodsharing integration "smart." We have implemented five major pro-level features that make your food-saving activities fully automatable directly within Home Assistant.

✨ New Features

• 🔔 Push Notification Events: Stay on top of things! The integration now fires native Home Assistant events (foodsharing_new_message and foodsharing_new_bell) as soon as new messages or bell notifications arrive on foodsharing.de.
• 🏢 Fairteiler Wall Scanner: Never miss "fresh drops" again. When someone posts to the wall of a Fairteiler in your area, a foodsharing_fairteiler_post event is triggered.
• 🎯 Smart Alarms (Keyword Filter): Configure search terms (e.g., "fruit," "bread") directly in the integration options. If a matching basket appears, a special event (foodsharing_keyword_match) is triggered.
• 📦 Manage Own Baskets: You can now see your own active food baskets in Home Assistant and close them via a button click directly once they have been handed over.
• 📋 Automation Blueprints: We include 3 ready-to-use templates so you can get started right away:
  • Smart Alarm: Notify me on keyword matches.
  • Pickup Reminder: Alert 1 hour before pickup ends.
  • Fairteiler Update: Info on new wall posts.

🛠️ Improvements & Refactoring

• 🗺️ Interactive Map Setup: During installation, you can now conveniently select your location via a pin on a map (no more manual typing of coordinates).
• 🔐 Login Validation: Credentials are now checked in real-time during setup.
• 📍 Native Map Entities: Baskets and Fairteiler are now displayed as geo_location entities directly on the Home Assistant map.
• 📅 Calendar Integration: All your verified pickups automatically appear in the new Foodsharing calendar.
• 📊 New Sensors: Separate sensors for the number of unread messages and bell notifications.
• 🏗️ Architecture Upgrade: Switched to DataUpdateCoordinator for more efficient API requests and improved stability.

⚙️ Technical Changes

• Migration to Schema v3: Existing installations are automatically migrated to the new configuration format.
• Diagnostics: Support for the Home Assistant Diagnostics tool (redacts sensitive data like passwords).
• Internationalization: Support for German and English.
• Type Safety: 100% mypy --strict compliance for stable code.
• Test Suite: Comprehensive automated tests for all platforms and API interactions.
