V7 brought a HUGE change!
The official name is now Tasmota instead of Sonoff-Tasmota and this introduces a few, possibly breaking, changes that need to be addressed:

1. References to sonoff in the UI, code and wiki are replaced with tasmota
2. Default device topic is now tasmota and friendly name is Tasmota.
3. Default AP for WiFiConfig is tasmota-xxxx instead of sonoff-xxxx
4. All binaries are now named tasmota-xxxx.bin and default OTA url is http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin

Upgrading from older versions will not be painless. It is highly recommended to backup your configuration first, upgrade, erase flash and reset the device to firmware defaults and finally use decode-config tool to restore the configuration.

GroupTopic

All sweeping changes across all devices are done through publishing to the group topic so this is required to do first for all other changes to be effective! If you have custom group topics defined you're on your own

Default GroupTopic changed from sonoffs to tasmotas. Every new device will have tasmotas as the default GroupTopic but previously flashed ones will remain on sonoffs.

To change GroupTopic of all old devices to the new one:

Publish cmnd/sonoffs/GroupTopic tasmotas

OTAUrl

Default OTAUrl is now http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin. If you're using other precompiled builds in your OTAUrl just change sonoff to tasmota.

To change OTAUrl for all devices (after changing GroupTopic with the above command):

Publish cmnd/tasmotas/OTAUrl http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin

Dark Theme

New default theme is Dark, if you want all your devices on the dark side use:

Publish cmnd/tasmotas/WebColor 0

Wiki has moved to link on the left.
