 #           up cloning of customer repository.
 # 1.3.13:   Fix: if the customer repository is corrupted, remove it and re-clone
 #           the repository (without checking the ISMAS-trigger (WAIT-)button.
+# 1.3.14:   Add additional check for sanity of customer repository using
+#           "git fsck".
+#           Stream-lined code of update process: massive refactoring.
+#           Added functionality: If WAIT button is not active, then an existing
+#           customer repository will be repaired, or a not existing repository
+#           will be cloned. The process stops then.
+#           However, if the WAIT button is active, the at least the commands in
+#           opkg_commands will be executed. Changed files in the customer
+#           repository will be worked on: tariff-files will be synced with the
+#           local filesystem, json-files will be downloaded to firmware.
+#           The device-controller firmware will be handled in a later version.
+VERSION="1.3.15"
+#           Bug fixes found during testing.
+#           Don't disable Exit-button during update-process.
+#           Removed worker-thread with an own event-loop: only the GUI thread
+#           has an event loop. Tested JSON-downloads several times successfully
+#           (using the slave lib where the CA helper tool was active as master).
+#           Turned previous worker-object into its own thread, but without any
+#           own event-loop (so it cannot block anything inside the CA-plugin).
+
+# PLANNED TODOS:
+#   1:  Das Repository wird repariert bwz. neu geklont. Unabhaengig vom WAIT.
+#   2:  Wenn der WAIT-Button aktiv ist, dann wird ein Repository repariert (neu
+#       geklont), aber zusaetzlich werden alle verfuegbaren Dateien als neu
+#       angesehen und die entsprechenden Aktionen durchgefuehrt: tariff-files
+#       spiegeln, json-files laden und dc laden. Also VORSICHT: das repository
+#       muss in diesem fall wirklich in ordnung sein.
+#   3:  Wurde keine Datei geaendert, kein initiales Clone und der WAIT-button
+#       nicht aktiv, so (passiert natuerlich nichts) kann man davon ausgehen,
+#       dass es sich um ein automatisches Update handelt. Dann koennte man im
+#       ISMAS eine entsprechende Meldung anzeigen als Teil von SEND-LAST-VERSION.
+#       Wenn der WAIT-button aktiv ist, dann werden zumindest die opkg-commands
+#       ausgefuehrt.
+#   4:  rsync: immer alle Dateien soiegeln (bis auf opkg-commands)
+#   5:  Falls das Tool mal abstuerzt, dann einen Signal-Handler (fuer TERM)
+#       installieren, sodass zumnidest SEND-LAST-VERSION mit rausgeht.
+#   6:  rsync: explizites Binary, nicht das in busybox enthaltene.
+#   7:  Ein ini-File oder sowas.
