v1.6.51

What's Changed

This release features a lot of changes, mainly focussed on the virtual switches. Apart from adding several new types (bilge pump, dropdown and basic slider), it also reduces the number of switches from 4 to 1. This reduction is for maintainability reasons and was announced here.
In order to group your switches together, you can now pre-define a group from the edit panel already. Another thing that was added to all virtual devices is one (or more) output(s)! The first output just passes through the msg.payload that came in. Virtual switches already have multiple outputs, outputting the state and value.
In order to make the use of this a bit easier also documentation got added to the virtual switches within the edit panel.
Other than this quite big update, several bugs got fixed, notably the one where we release the dbus service name on close. This prevents lingering deleted virtual switches on the dbus, while Node-RED hadn't restarted. And should make working with virtual devices a way more pleasant experience.

Here are the changes more cryptically worded:

• When using /victron/cache, do not render arbitrary data without stringification by @Chris927 in #290
• Virtual switch: add basic slider by @dirkjanfaber in #298
• Set ValidTypes path correctly by @dirkjanfaber in #297
• Virtual switch: add bilge pump by @dirkjanfaber in #300
• Virtual switch: add dropdown by @dirkjanfaber in #299
• Virtual switch: Add customname and group name by @dirkjanfaber in #301
• Reduce the nr of switches from 4 to just 1 by @dirkjanfaber in #303
• fix: relative resources paths when node-red runs under a prefix path by @Chris927 in #308
• fix: properly release DBus service name on node close by @dirkjanfaber in #310
• Refactor code, part 1 by @dirkjanfaber in #311
