[mh] $Dark global variable depreciated?

[Rick R. <ric...@sa...>]

I've been running MH for a few years now. During this time, I've had a
snippet of code that made use of the $Dark global variable. Since upgrading
to v3.1, the code using $Dark no longer executes.

My code snippet:

# Garage door opened
if ($Dark and ($RearGarageOverheadDoor->{state_now} eq OPEN or
$FrontGarageOverheadDoor->{state_now} eq OPEN)) {
   print_log "[lighting_events] Turning car port lights: ON";
   $Car_Port_Lights->set(ON);
}

Just as a test, I added the following snippet:

if ($New_Minute) {
   if ($Dark) {
      print_log "[lighting_events] It is dark";
   }
}

It's 25 minutes past sunset as I write this, yet no log entries from the
test snippet have been generated. It seems as if $Dark is no longer being
updated. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rick
