Version 0.9.0

Added

• Timeout for BlueZ backend connect call to avoid potential infinite hanging. Merged #306.
• Added Interfaces API docs again.

Changed

• BleakCharacteristic.description() on .NET now returns the same value as other platforms.
• Changed all adding and removal of .NET event handler from +=/-= syntax to calling add_ and remove_ methods instead. This allows for proper removal of event handlers in .NET backend.

• Removing internal method _start_notify in the .NET backend.
• GattSession object now manages lifetime of .NET BleakClient connection.
• BleakClient in .NET backend will reuse previous device information when reconnecting so that it doesn't have to scan/discover again.

Fixed

• UUID property bug fixed in BlueZ backend. Merged #307.
• Fix for broken RTD documentation.
• Fix UUID string arguments should not be case sensitive.
• Fix BleakGATTService.get_characteristic() method overridden with NotImplementedError in BlueZ backend.
• Fix AttributeError when trying to connect using CoreBluetooth backend. Merged #323.
• Fix disconnect callback called multiple times in .NET backend. Fixes #312.
• Fix BleakClient.disconnect() method failing when called multiple times in .NET backend. Fixes #313.
• Fix BleakClient.disconnect() method failing when called multiple times in Core Bluetooth backend. Merge #333.
• Catch RemoteError in is_connected in BlueZ backend. Fixes #310,
• Prevent overwriting address in constructor of BleakClient in BlueZ backend. Merge #311.
• Fix nordic uart UUID. Merge #339.

Version 0.8.0

0.8.0 (2020-09-22)

Added

• Implemented set_disconnected_callback in the .NET backend BleakClient implementation.
• Added find_device_by_address method to the BleakScanner interface, for stopping scanning
  when a desired address is found.
• Implemented find_device_by_address in the .NET backend BleakScanner implementation and
  switched its BleakClient implementation to use that method in connect.
• Implemented find_device_by_address in the BlueZ backend BleakScanner implementation and
  switched its BleakClient implementation to use that method in connect.
• Implemented find_device_by_address in the Core Bluetooth backend BleakScanner implementation
  and switched its BleakClient implementation to use that method in connect.
• Added text representations of Protocol Errors that are visible in the .NET backend. Added these texts to errors raised.
• Added pairing method in BleakClient interface.
• Implemented pairing method in .NET backend.
• Implemented pairing method in the BlueZ backend.
• Added stumps and NotImplementedError on pairing in macOS backend.
• Added the possibility to connect using BLEDevice instead of a string address. This
  allows for skipping the discovery call when connecting.

Removed

• Support for Python 3.5.

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE All notifications now have the characteristic's integer handle instead of its UUID as a
  string as the first argument sender sent to notification callbacks. This provides the uniqueness of
  sender in notifications as well.
• Renamed BleakClient argument address to address_or_ble_device.
• Version 0.5.0 of BleakUWPBridge, with some modified methods and implementing IDisposable.
• Merged #224. All storing and passing of event loops in bleak is removed.
• Removed Objective C delegate compliance checks. Merged #253.
• Made context managers for .NET DataReader and DataWriter.

Fixed

• .NET backend loop handling bug entered by #224 fixed.
• Removed default DEBUG level set to bleak logger. Fixes #251.
• More coherency in logger uses over all backends. Fixes #258
• Attempted fix of #255 and #133: cleanups, disposing of objects and creating new BleakBridge instances each disconnect.
• Fixed some type hints and docstrings.
• Modified the connected_peripheral_delegate handling in macOS backend to fix #213 and #116.
• Merged #270, fixing a critical bug in get_services method in Core Bluetooth backend.
• Improved handling of disconnections and is_connected in BlueZ backend to fix #259.
• Fix for set_disconnected_callback on Core Bluetooth. Fixes #276.
• Safer Core Bluetooth presence check. Merged #280.

Version 0.7.1

0.7.1 (2020-07-02)

Changed

• Improved, more explantory error on BlueZ backend when BleakClient cannot find the desired device when trying to connect. (#238)
• Better-than-nothing documentation about scanning filters added (#230).
• Ran black on code which was forgotten in 0.7.0. Large diffs due to that.
• Re-adding Python 3.8 CI "tests" on Windows again.

Fixed

• Fix when characteristic updates value faster than asyncio schedule (#240 & #241)
• Incorrect MANIFEST.in corrected. (#244)

Version 0.7.0

Added

• Better feedback of communication errors to user in .NET backend and implementing error details proposed in #174.
• Two devices example file to use for e.g. debugging.
• Detection/discovery callbacks in Core Bluetooth backend Scanner implemented.
• Characteristic handle printout in service_explorer.py.
• Added scanning filters to .NET backend's discover method.

Changed

• Replace NSRunLoop with dispatch queue in Core Bluetooth backend. This causes callbacks to be dispatched on a background thread instead of on the main dispatch queue on the main thread. call_soon_threadsafe() is used to synchronize the events with the event loop where the central manager was created. Fixes #111.
• The Central Manager is no longer global in the Core Bluetooth backend. A new one is created for each BleakClient and BleakScanner. Fixes #206 and #105.
• Merged #167 and reworked characteristics handling in Bleak. Implemented in all backends; bleak now uses the characteristics' handle to identify and keep track of them. Fixes #139 and #159 and allows connection for devices with multiple instances of the same characteristic UUIDs.
• In requirements.txt and Pipfile, the requirement on pythonnet was bumped to version 2.5.1, which seems to solve issues described in #217 and #225.
• Renamed HISTORY.rst to CHANGELOG.rst and adopted the Keep a Changelog format.
• Python 3.5 support from macOS is officially removed since pyobjc>6 requires 3.6+
• Pin pyobjc dependencies to use at least version 6.2. (PR #194)
• Pin development requirement on bump2version to version 1.0.0
• Added .pyup.yml for Pyup
• Using CBManagerState constants from pyobj instead of integers.

Removed

• Removed documentation note about not using new event loops in Linux. This was fixed by #143.
• _central_manager_delegate_ready was removed in macOS backend.
• Removed the bleak.backends.bluez.utils.get_gatt_service_path method. It is not used by
  bleak and possibly generates errors.

Fixed

• Improved handling of the txdbus connection to avoid hanging of disconnection clients in BlueZ backend. Fixes #216, #219 & #221.
• #150 hints at the device path not being possible to create as is done in the get_device_object_path method. Now, we try to get it from BlueZ first. Otherwise, use the old fallback.
• Minor documentation errors corrected.
• CBManagerStatePoweredOn is now properly handled in Core Bluetooth.
• Device enumeration in discoverand Scanner corrected. Fixes #211
• Updated documentation about scanning filters.
• Handle missing isScanning boolean on macOS < 10.13. Fixes #234.
