breaking_changes

Integration to show potential breaking_changes in the current published version based on your loaded components.

How it works.

This uses https://hachanges.entrypoint.xyz/ to get the breaking changes. hachanges is a website I made a couple of months before this to serve as an easy registry of breaking changes.

hachanges uses web scraping on the blogpost for the release that it tries to show, and determine which breaking change to list.

This will list breaking changes on versions for versions released after the one you are running up to the latest stable version.

Examples: You run version 0.87.0, and 0.92.0 is published, it will show breaking changes for 0.88, 0.89, 0.90, 0.91, 0.92. You run version 0.92.0, and 0.92.0 is published, it will not show anything. You run version 0.91.0, and 0.92.0 is published, it will show breaking changes for 0.92.

This component will set up the following platforms.

Installation

1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called breaking_changes.
4. Download all the files from the custom_components/breaking_changes/ directory (folder) in this repository.
5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
6. Add breaking_changes: to your HA configuration.

Using your HA configuration directory (folder) as a starting point you should now also have this:

custom_components/breaking_changes/__init__.py
custom_components/breaking_changes/const.py
custom_components/breaking_changes/sensor.py
custom_components/breaking_changes/manifest.json

Example configuration.yaml
