turn-off display. @matthiasdebaat made a UX that has been carried out
by @piitaya that may hopefully make this all higher, extra clear.
Good, proper? š¤© What’s totally new is the primary merchandise proven: āFast reloadā.
Fast reload calls all energetic integrations in your system that assist
reloading YAML configuration on the fly š.
This implies all integrations individually listed as reloadable underneath the YAML
tab within the developer instruments are reloaded concurrently! Additionally, @frenck made
fast reload accessible as a service,
so you’ll be able to automate with it.
