The Apache PLC4X team is pleased to announce the release of Apache PLC4X 0.11.0
PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API. A lot of the work in this version went into refactoring and cleaning up our code generation. The code generation itself is now a lot cleaner and simpler as well as the code generated for Java. We also added a number of new field-types to allow implementing more sophisticated protocols. PLC4C now should also support all of the constructs mspec has to offer. New Features ------------ - Implemented a `PLC4X-Server` and `PLC4X-Driver` that allows using the server as a proxy for communicating with PLCs. - The Modbus driver is now also available in the variants: "modbus-rtu" and "modbus-ascii" (Both using Serial communication, which however can be tunneled through a "tcp" and "udp" transport) - The KNX driver in Java now supports reading "knxproj" files exported from the new ETS version 6. Incompatible changes -------------------- - The name of the Modbus TCP driver was changed from "modbus" to "modbus-tcp". - Removed the Apache Edgent (incubating) integration and examples related, as Edgent is abandoned and there were CVEs reported, which will not be fixed. - We have replaced the BitString types with BYTE, WORD, DWORD, and LWORD which generally match their unsigned integer counterparts. So we are no longer returning lists of boolean values for any of these types.
