v0.4-rc1 Full automation (Milestone 4 of 4)

Full automation (Milestone 4 of 4)

Brief

This version brings full automation (after an initial setup investment) and a lot of stability via fast corner case testing, that allowed me to fix prevailing bugs and enables further, risky experiments.

Major changes:

• New console visuals: fast, dependency free and SSH-friendly.
• Testing corner cases: major stability improvement, that now allows to experiment freely with risky improvements, like a better optimization algorithm.
• Automation documentation and scripts: automating almost all that could be automated, including compilation of external tools: p2pool, xmrig and monero daemon itself.
• Computer schedule: visually showing the plan and producing commands to remotely control the mining rigs.
• Presenting multiple alternative solutions to choose from, to better match your daily habits.
• Wind turbines along the solar input and example config.
• LiFePO4 (dis)charge profiles and example config.
• Tons of other new documentation: I'm the most fond of the additions to safety.
• Switching off Inverter can now be modelled: example config.
• Temperature control script: Manipulates the CPU governor to reduce the maximal CPU frequency down to a level, that enables the CPU to cool off, after detecting its overheat.
