v1.19.0

Enhancements

Streaming API

As the first and only Tesla logging app out there, TeslaMate now use the Tesla streaming API! This brings the following improvements:

• High precision drive data. Rather than active polling, the streaming API allows for passive consumption of a high frequency data stream with the most important drive data (position, heading, speed, power, elevation etc.).
• Actual elevation above sea level. Up until now TeslaMate used satellite terrain data to get the elevation. Driving through tunnels or across bridges therefore resulted in inaccurate recordings. This is no longer the case!
• Bluetooth hints are no longer needed! Using the streaming API does not prevent the vehicle from falling asleep, thus enabling continuous monitoring. This allows the car to fall asleep more quickly (no more idle timer) and we don't miss up to 21 minutes of driving because of halted polling.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in testing this release and contributed improvements!
