v5.0.0

I am happy to present you version 5 of homebridge-bravia-tvos. The plugin has been redesigned from scratch, offers a new config UI and works much faster than v4. However, most of the changes have been done in the backend to make the plugin even more stable.

Unfortunately some changes had to be made in config.json to improve readability and adapt it to the new version. For this reason I recommend you to delete the TV from your config.json and then reconfigure it via homebridge-config-ui-x. And please take a look at the example-config.json (If you enter the same name as before as TV name, the TV does not have to be removed from HomeKit).

Have fun with version 5
