# Changelog

## Unreleased

### Added
- Value averaging plot extension
- PLC4X bindings
- Shortcuts to access all Controls devices in a magix network.
- `DeviceClient` properly evaluates lifecycle and logs

### Changed
- Constructor properties return `DeviceState` in order to be able to subscribe to them
- Refactored ports. Now we have `AsynchronousPort` as well as `SynchronousPort`
- `DeviceClient` now initializes property and action descriptors eagerly.
- `DeviceHub` now works with `Name` instead of `NameToken`. Tree-like structure is made using `Path`. Device messages no longer have access to sub-devices.
- Add some utility methods to ports. Synchronous port response could be now consumed as `Source`.

### Deprecated

### Removed

### Fixed
- Fix a problem with rsocket endpoint with no filter.

### Security

## 0.3.0 - 2024-03-04

### Added

- Device lifecycle message
- Low-code constructor
- Automatic description generation for spec properties (JVM only)

### Changed

- Property caching moved from core `Device` to the `CachingDevice`
- `DeviceSpec` properties no explicitly pass property name to getters and setters.
- `DeviceHub.respondHubMessage` now returns a list of messages to allow querying multiple devices. Device server also returns an array.
- DataForge 0.8.0

### Fixed

- Property writing does not trigger change if logical state already is the same as value to be set.
- Modbus-slave triggers only once for multi-register write.
- Removed unnecessary scope in hub messageFlow

## 0.2.2-dev-1 - 2023-09-24

### Changed

- updating logical state in `DeviceBase` is now protected and called `propertyChanged()`
- `DeviceBase` tries to read property after write if the writer does not set the value.
