image_effect has replace image_zoom.

image_effect currently has two options. zoom and smart-zoom.

Zoom

This effect zooms in or out to add movement to your images, with the center of the image as the focal point.

Smart zoom

Smart zoom works like the regular zoom but focuses on faces and includes both zooming and panning.

Weather

Single view with weather

Splitview with weather

You can now add the current weather to Kiosk. You can configure multiple locations in the config.yaml file, and choose which one to display using the URL query weather=NAME.

# config.yaml
weather:
  - name: london
    lat: 51.5285262
    lon: -0.2663999
    api: API_KEY
    unit: metric
    lang: en

  - name: new-york
    lat: 40.6973709
    lon: -74.1444838
    api: API_KEY
    unit: imperial

Hiding countries from image metadata.

This is useful if you don't want to display certain country names after setting show_image_location to true.

Example
I live in the UK, so most image location metadata looks something like Islington, London, United Kingdom. Adding the below to my config.yaml file would change that to Islington, London

hide_countries:
  - United Kingdom
  - United States of America
