+NimBLEHIDDevice::getOutputReport will now return the correct characteristic.NimBLEServer has no member named m_pClient.nimble_port_stop.NimBLEConnInfo and NimBLEUtils to NimBLEDevice.h.-NimBLEScanCallbacks::onDiscovered, This is called immediately when a device is first scanned, before any scan response data is available and takes aconst NimBLEAdvertisedDevice*parameter. -NimBLEScan::stopwill no longer call theonScanEndcallback as the caller should know its been stopped when this is called. -NimBLEScan::clearDuplicateCachehas been removed as it was problematic and only for the esp32. Stop and start the scanner for the same effect. -NimBLEScanResults::getDevicemethods now returnconst NimBLEAdvertisedDevice*. -NimBLEScanResultsiterators are nowconst_iterator. -NimBLEService::getCharacteristicsnow returns aconst std::vector<NimBLECharacteristic*>&instead of std::vector<NimBLECharacteristic *>. -NimBLECharacteristic::notifyno longer takes abool is_notificationparameter, insteadindicate()should be called to send indications. -NimBLECharacteristicCallbacks::onNotifyremoved as unnecessary, the library does not call notify without app input. -NimBLECharacteristicCallbacks::onStatusNo longer takes astatusparameter, refer to the return code for success/failure. -NimBLERemoteService::getCharacteristicsnow returns aconst std::vector<NimBLERemoteCharacteristic*>&instead of non-conststd::vector<NimBLERemoteCharacteristic*>*. -NimBLERemoteService::getValuenow returnsNimBLEAttValueinstead ofstd::string. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::getRemoteServicenow returns aconst NimBLERemoteService*instead of non-const. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::readUInt32Has been removed. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::readUInt16Has been removed. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::readUInt8Has been removed. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::readFloatHas been removed. -NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::registerForNotifyHas been removed. -NimBLEAdvertisedDevice::hasRSSIremoved as redundant, RSSI is always available. -NimBLEAdvertisedDevice::getPayloadnow returnsconst std::vector<uint8_t>instead of a pointer to internal memory. -NimBLEAdvertisedDeviceTimestamp removed, if needed then the app should track the time from the callback. -NimBLEAddressconstructor; default value for thetypeparameter removed, caller should know the address type and specify it. -NimBLEAddress::getNativereplaced withNimBLEAddress::getBaseand now returns a pointer toconst ble_addr_tinstead of a pointer to the address value. -NimBLEAddress::equalsmethod andNimBLEAddress::== operatorwill now also test if the address types are the same. -NimBLEUUID::getNativemethod replaced withNimBLEUUID::getBasewhich returns a read-only pointer to the underlyingble_uuid_tstruct. -NimBLEUUID;msbFirstparameter has been removed from constructor, caller should reverse the data first or call the newreverseByteOrdermethod after. -NimBLEUtils::dumpGapEventfunction removed. -NimBLEUtils::buildHexDatareplaced withNimBLEUtils::dataToHexString, which returns astd::stringcontaining the hex string.Removed Eddystone URL as it has been shutdown by google since 2021. -NimBLEEddystoneTLM::setTempnow takes anint16_tparameter instead of float to be friendly to devices without floating point support. -NimBLEEddystoneTLM::getTempnow returnsint16_tto work with devices that don't have floating point support. -NimBLEEddystoneTLM::setDatanow takes a reference to *NimBLEEddystoneTLM::BeaconDatainstead ofstd::string. -NimBLEEddystoneTLM::getDatanow returns a reference to *NimBLEEddystoneTLM::BeaconDatainstead ofstd::string. -NimBLEBeacon::setDatanow takesconst NimBLEBeacon::BeaconData&instead ofstd::string. -NimBLEBeacon::getDatanow returnsconst NimBLEBeacon::BeaconData&instead ofstd::string. -NimBLEHIDDevice::reportMaprenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getReportMap. -NimBLEHIDDevice::hidControlrenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getHidControl. -NimBLEHIDDevice::inputReportrenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getInputReport. -NimBLEHIDDevice::outputReportrenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getOutputReport. -NimBLEHIDDevice::featureReportrenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getFeatureReport. -NimBLEHIDDevice::protocolModerenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getProtocolMode. -NimBLEHIDDevice::bootOutputrenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getBootOutput. -NimBLEHIDDevice::pnprenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::setPnp. -NimBLEHIDDevice::hidInforenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::setHidInfo. -NimBLEHIDDevice::deviceInforenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getDeviceInfoService. -NimBLEHIDDevice::hidServicerenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getHidService. -NimBLEHIDDevice::batteryServicerenamed toNimBLEHIDDevice::getBatteryService`.NimBLEDevice::getPower and NimBLEDevice::getPowerLevel bug worked around for the esp32s3 and esp32c3.std::vector input to set/write values template.NimBLEClient::secureConnection now takes an additional parameter bool async, if true, will send the secure command and return immediately with a true value for successfully sending the command, else false. This allows for asynchronously securing a connection.CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_NVS_PERSIST value not being used to enable/disable persistance.NimBLEAdvertising new method: removeServices removes all service UUID's from the advertisement.NimBLEAdvertisementData new method: clearData sets all data to NULL to reuse the instance.NimBLEAdvertisedDevice::getManufacturerData, now takes an index value parameter to use when there is more than 1 instance of manufacturer data.btInUse.NimBLEConnInfo.NimBLEScan::clearDuplicateCache: This can be used to reset the cache of advertised devices so they will be immediately discovered again.NimBLECharacteristicCallbacks::onSubscribe Is now called after the connection is added to the vector.nimconfig.h (Arduino) is now easier to use.NimBLEScan Now uses the controller duplicate filter.NimBLEAdvertisedDevice Has been refactored to store the complete advertisement payload and no longer parses the data from each advertisement. Instead the data will be parsed on-demand when the user application asks for specific data.NimBLEHIDDevice Characteristics now use encryption, this resolves an issue with communicating with devices requiring encryption for HID devices.NimBLEServerCallbacks::onDisconnect overloaded callback added to provide a ble_gap_conn_desc parameter for the application to obtain information about the disconnected client.nimconfig.h for command line defined macros to support platformio config settings.NimBLEAdvertising::start now returns a bool value to indicate success/failure.NimBLEScan When the scan ends the scan stopped flag is now set before calling the scan complete callback (if used) this allows the starting of a new scan from the callback function.NimBLEClient::connect would hang on the task block if no event arrived to unblock. A time limit has been added to timeout appropriately.NimBLEAdvertising::start Now takes 2 optional parameters, the first is the duration to advertise for (in seconds), the second is a callback that is invoked when advertising ends and takes a pointer to a NimBLEAdvertising object (similar to the NimBLEScan::start API).NimBLEAddress constructor: NimBLEAddress() produces an address of 00:00:00:00:00:00 type 0.
