Hi all,

I would say one of the major topics for 0.12.0 definitely is an update to the 
API, that allows users of the API to learn a lot more about the drivers the 
DriverManager provides.

So now in the Metadata of a driver, you can learn:

  *   What are the supported transport types for a given driver?
  *   Is there a default transport and if yes, which one is it?
  *   What are the configuration parameters a driver supports?
  *   What are the configuration parameters a transport supports?

The Info for a parameter is:

  *   Name of the option
  *   Type of the option
  *   Description of the option
  *   If it is required
  *   What’s the default value (if there is one)

I guess with this, it should be possible to build a generic PLC4X source/sink 
that automatically configures itself.

With your current approach of hand-coded modules I guess the benefit is rather 
slim, but I think a generic PLC4X module would be an awesome asset.

We’ll probably release 0.12.0 pretty soon, just wanted to give you folks a 
headsup ;-)
