This is a list of the news and changes in the 3.0 release. These changes has been available for a while in the nightly builds, but now they are formally released.
Raspberry Pi Installation
Since most users use Raspberry Pi as platform for running OpenNetHome a special installation script adapted for Raspberry Pi is added. This installs ONH as a background process which starts automatically and is easy to upgrade and maintain. Read more about it here.
REST interface
To make it easy to integrate OpenNetHome with other programs, an open WEB-service interface is included which allows access to all functions supported by the server. The interface is implemented as a REST service. See here for more details.
Support for IKEA Trådfri
Support for the IKEA Trådfri series of remote controlled lamps is added in OpenNetHome, see here for details.

The IoT protocol MQTT is now supported by OpenNetHome. Thanks Jocke G and Patrik Gustavsson for the contribution. Read more about the feature here.
Support for JeeLink
The JeeLink USB Radio transmitter is now supported as a generic 433MHz transmitter for OpenNetHome, allowing it to control all 433Mhz devices supported by OpenNetHome. Read more here.
Faster Graphs with Database
The graphs available for all sensors in OpenNetHome can now be presented faster thanks to database support in the back end. See here for details. Thanks Peter Lagerhem for the contribution.
