Homebox v0.26.0 released — adds API keys, password resets, and data export
Homebox is a app for keeping track of everything you own at home. Version 0.26.0 (quickly followed by a bugfix release v0.26.1) brings four notable changes. The internals of how items and locations are stored have been completely rebuilt under a feature called Entity Merge.
The app now supports static API keys, which lets other programs and add-ons connect to it more easily. Users can reset their own passwords from the , as long as the server has email (SMTP) configured; admins get a fallback for setups without email. Finally, an import and export tool now handles the full collection, attachments included.
Development toward a stable v1 release is ongoing.
