fixes a bug in fallingtext
adds animation database viewer including preview function
you can save animations from awtrixer for private usage
"scrollSpeed" is deprecated, use "speed" instead. Its because now, speed also applies to other things, not only scrolling speed.
adds the possibility to show animations as notifications:
```
  {
  "animation": true,
  "data": "Smash"
  }
```
1. With animation, data can contain 1 of 3 options:
  - The name of the animation from the online database
  - The name of the saved privat animation from AWTRIXER
  - Raw animation json
2. Possible modifications:
  - "repeat": repeats the animation X times
  - "speed": shows the animation in the desired speed. (This value means percentage in this case (50=half of the original speed, 200= double the speed)
changes versionnumber from date to upcounting number starting from 2021
fixes a bug in language change
if you connect a Speaker to your Host, you can use ffmpeg to play sounds or music from file or URL.
Basic-API:{"player": "http://www.evidenceaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/lyricslap.mp3 "}
This also works in notifications. Note: You need to install FFMPEG to your host in order to use it.
you can adjust the volume for each soundfile played via notification api:
{"volume":20} (0-30)
you can activate the premium Sleepmode from API. This ignores the entered time:
Basics-API ->{"sleepMode":true} / false

- For Google home you also need to use SmartThings. After that you can add SmartThings as your google home skill
Notify/CustomApp/Temporary API: Root JSON key "text" is obsolete. Use "data" instead
fallingText and multiColorText in Notify/CustomApp/Temporary ist boolean now. set it to true or false. The text or data needs to be in the "data" key

Supports to stack notifications, so you can put multiple informations into one single request. AWTRIX handles this still as one single notification. Just send a array of notifications. The size of the array is not limited.
This also works in TemporaryApp and CustomApp
e.g:

 [
 {
   "name":"FirstNotification",
   "force":true,
   "icon":6,
   "moveIcon":true, 
   "repeat":1,
   "soundfile":1,
   "data":"Totally Awesome",
   "color":[
      0,
      255,
      0
   ]
},
{
   "fallingText":true,
   "soundfile":3,
   "data":"Geht gut das Ding",
   "rainbow":true
}
]

fixes some links in webinterface
You can add a backgroundcolor to your Notify/CustomApp/Temporary API
```
"background" : [ 0,  255,  0 ]
```

Merges draw api into notify api. You need to set "drawing" to true. A drawing must be an array only

{
   "force":true,
   "drawing":true,
   "repeat":2,
   "data":[
      {
         "type":"fill",
         "color":[ 50, 50, 50 ]
      },
      {
         "type":"text",
         "string":"Hello",
         "position":[ 4, 1 ],
         "color":[ 255, 0,  0 ]
      },
      {
         "type":"show"
      },
      {
         "type":"wait",
         "ms":1000
      },
      {
         "type":"circle",
         "radius":3,
         "position":[ 5, 4 ],
         "color":[ 255,  0,  255 ]
      },
      {
         "type":"show"
      },
      {
         "type":"wait",
         "ms":1000
      },
      {
         "type":"rect",
         "size":[ 5, 5 ],
         "position":[ 24, 2 ],
         "color":[ 0, 0, 255 ]
      },
      {
         "type":"show"
      },
      {
         "type":"wait",
         "ms":1000
      },
      {
         "type":"exit"
      }
   ]
}
}
