v0.3.0

This release improves error handling significantly, which should make it much easier to debug Things that aren't working as expected. There are a few small new features, and some improvements to how settings are handled. There were no code changes between v0.3.0-rc1 and this release.

Breaking changes

• There is no longer a @getter decorator for properties. (#351)
• Settings files are now named differently. This will result in settings being reset to default. The original settings file may be renamed to fix the problem, but this is not done automatically. (#349)

New features

• If the class of a Thing is changed, but the name stays the same, it now uses a different settings file, instead of re-using the old (and probably invalid) one. (#349)
• It's now possible to specify the media type of a Blob at creation time. (#366)
• Some types are now described better in the Thing Description. (#371)
• Frames in an MJPEG stream may now use a timestamp from the camera. (#387)
• Log entries when Actions can't start may now be at a user-specified level, to reduce noise in the logs. (#393)
