It appears that relative was removed and is now just humidity

[JTurpin]

if I'm following this correctly from here:
https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_BME680/html/class_adafruit___b_m_e680.html#a2fd214a02735b0e1c80aabf63203410b

It appears that relative_humidity should actually be just humidity.

it should def be just relative_humidity

strange, when I run it as is I get:

jim@pi4:~/bme680# python3 bme680.py

Temperature: 19.7 C
Gas: 103010 ohm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bme680.py", line 21, in
print("Humidity: %0.1f %%" % bme680.relative_humidity)
AttributeError: 'Adafruit_BME680_I2C' object has no attribute 'relative_humidity'

but as in the PR:

Temperature: 20.0 C
Gas: 37634 ohm
Humidity: 23.8 %
Pressure: 845.358 hPa
Altitude = 1502.21 meters

relative_humidity is new (#34 ), to be compatible with other humidity sensors. It's in the examples folder, but the code is merged but hasn't been released yet. Are you using the last released library version 3.2.4 (same as in the last released bundle), or the current library .py from the code of this repo?

The example and code in this repo are consistent with each other, as are the released example and code, but no mix and match for the moment.

Once released, either relative_humidity or humidity will work. relative_humidity will be the preferred.

installed via pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bme680 today and verified 3.2.4

jim@pi4:~/bme680# pip3 freeze
Adafruit-BBIO==1.2.0
Adafruit-Blinka==5.4.0
adafruit-circuitpython-bme680==3.2.4
adafruit-circuitpython-busdevice==5.0.1
adafruit-circuitpython-framebuf==1.4.3

Adafruit-GPIO==1.0.3
Adafruit-PlatformDetect==2.17.0
Adafruit-PureIO==1.1.5
Adafruit-SSD1306==1.6.2

Happy to close if I'm the oddity. I'm just trying to help others out if they run into the same issue.

@JTurpin Released 3.2.4 code doesn't have the change to include relative_humidity yet.

A new version should be released soon, then the example will match the library with relative_humidity all around.

Version 3.3.0 of this BME680 library has now been released, and is in the released 20201201 library bundle. Code for relative_humidity, consistent with the design guide, should now match the example. So I think this can be closed.
