2025.1.2 Stayin' alive

Highlights

• a couple of longstanding bugs with connection handling have been fixed, which should hopefully keep your devices online for longer and have them recover more reliably when they do go offline.

Breaking changes

• "device22" devices are no longer auto detected when the protocol is 3.3. If your devices stop working after the upgrade, please try setting them to the new 3.22 protocol before filing a bug report.
• Electriq DESD9LW dehumidifier: deprecated humidity sensor has been removed, use the humidity from the humidifier entity.
• Eeese Carl: tank sensor has reverted to how it was before 2024.12.2. If you have this device, and the behaviour from the past 3 releases was correct for you, then file a request for a new device, as it is not compatible with devices of other users.
