-# Bug Fixes and Improvements
+## 2.4.0-beta.1 (2026-05-09)
 
-## Current To-Do and In-Work List (For Future Releases, in rough order of priority):
+This release represents a major rewrite of the plugin, significantly improving robustness, HAP compliance, and code quality throughout, and making it work for Switzerland.
 
-TODO
-review all http endpoints, make sure a suitable log entry is being made so I can check the data is plausible
+- Added CH login support: Adapted the login sequence and updated config.schema.json to support the new Switzerland login method
+- Overhauled HAP compliance: Full audit and rewrite of all HAP code for strict compliance
+- Added support for Homebridge v2: Plugin now fully supports Homebridge 2.0.0+ and Node.js 24+; resolved breaking changes introduced by HAP-NodeJS v1 shipped with Homebridge v2
+- Improved MQTT handling: Optimised mqtt code and added clean unsubscribe on plugin shutdown
+- Improved channel list management: Master channel list refresh now runs once daily at a random time between 00:00–06:00
+- Updated channel ConfiguredName to read-only
+- Optimised handling of remote control and media control
+- Improved robustness and startup
+- Improved overall code quality
+- Updated dependencies to current versions

+## 2.3.9 (2026-05-09)
 
-IMPORTANR
-Implement setTargetMediaState to send the Play/Pause/Stop functions, so that Eve can control the media state. Watch out for sending commands twice when using the remote control. maybe the sendKey redirects to the setmediaState?
-
-Behavious: SetMediaState from 0 to 1 will start playing.
-Behavious: SetMediaState from 0 to 1 will start playing.
-Behavious: SetMediaState from 2 to 1 will start playing.
-Behavious: SetMediaState from 1 to 2 will start playing.
-unreliable, compare to webclient... this is driving me crazy!
-might have to revert to sendKeys to set Play and Stop/Pause
-
-
-
-CHECK
-make sendKey logging consistent
-
-CHECK
-what are my issues with persistence?
-Persisting the input state visibility between restarts would be good
-Visibility cannot be set if the user has no WriteAccess to the channel list!!
-Persistance test:
-1. Hide the channel SRF info using Home app
-2. Force-close and reopen  the home app. Confirm channel is still hidden
-3. Confirm the current visibility state in the plugin logs is correct
-3. Restart the plugin
-4. Observe the current visibility state in the plugin logs - does it get the right value from HomeKit HAP? If so, no persistance required.
-
-Device name: this comes from backend
-Channel name: overwrite not allowed - can we disable in HomeKit. Yes, but prevents setting visibility
-
-CHALLENGE
-The mostWatchedChannelList is not working
