Tom Tomkins contributed to the victronenergy/gui-v2 repository by developing and refining user interface features and controls for embedded systems over a five-month period. He implemented dynamic QML components such as multi-state switches and dimming sliders, integrating them with C++ backend logic to enhance configurability and usability. Tom addressed UI consistency and navigation issues, improved touch target accuracy, and introduced access control options for device settings. He managed release cycles through version control and CMake updates, ensuring deployment readiness. His work demonstrated depth in C++, QML, and build system management, delivering stable, maintainable solutions that improved both user experience and system reliability.
Month: 2025-12 — Summary: The gui-v2 team delivered stability enhancements, UX polish, access-control improvements, and release readiness for the December cycle. Highlights include the following key features and fixes, with impact on reliability, user experience, and business value: - Color Preset Brightness Preservation (bug fix): Ensured loading a color preset does not override the current brightness and that brightness values are saved with presets, preventing unintended changes (fixes #2672). Commit: 351bcdcfe036429dee23f14facc23fe8e9e02ba2. - AC Load Settings Enhancements (feature): Added a phase setting option in AC load settings, corrected phase setting menu visibility, and introduced allowed roles for AC load access, improving configurability and security. Commit: 1327fcd1dd3090e5677cc84e04681a82ffe93c15. - Release Version Bump: 1.2.23 (feature): Bumped version to v1.2.23 in CMakeLists.txt to support the latest release improvements. Commit: 25a20ae4845d91d45b5b8fac64d0f75c7aefdee1. - VRM Portal Access Level Label Clarification (feature): Updated the label for the VRM portal access level setting to provide clearer information about its purpose, reducing user confusion. Commit: dc46cf39a22a973a1c31072239629e3e49928817. - Modal Dialog toPage: Distinguish null vs undefined (bug): Refined modal navigation logic to differentiate between null and undefined toPage values, improving navigation UX and preventing unintended pops during modal rejection. Commit: 6d7d36ec2b7e07d55fdad7cd206eb2d658033c60.
