Changes Explained

Notify

When a notification with a button is created and the user clicks on it, a MQTT topic is sent monitor_controls/notify/button_press with the data of the notification. It used to have some of it's data under the hints key, but now it got removed. Here is an example: trigger.payload_json['hints']['image-path'] was replaced by trigger.payload_json['image']

DBus

DBus communication was using dbus-python which is replaced with dasbus which needs less system dependencies to be installed and replaced system commands with dbus. These changes affected the modules Shutdown, Restart, Battery, Idle, Notification, WiFi.
