Overloads to get a vector containing pointers to all the characteristics in a service with the UUID. (supports multiple same UUID's in a service) - `NimBLEService::getCharacteristics(const char *uuid)` - `NimBLEService::getCharacteristics(const NimBLEUUID &uuid)` - `NimBLEAdvertisementData` New methods: - `NimBLEAdvertisementData::addTxPower`: Adds transmission power to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertisementData::setPreferredParams`: Adds connection parameters to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertisementData::setURI`: Adds URI data to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertising` New methods: - `NimBLEAdvertising::setName`: Set the name advertised. - `NimBLEAdvertising::setManufacturerData`: Adds manufacturer data to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertising::setURI`: Adds URI data to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertising::setServiceData`: Adds service data to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertising::addTxPower`: Adds transmission power to the advertisement. - `NimBLEAdvertising::reset`: Stops the current advertising and resets the advertising data to the default values. - `NimBLEDevice::setScanFilterMode`: Set the controller duplicate filter mode for filtering scanned devices. - `NimBLEDevice::setScanDuplicateCacheSize`: Sets the number of advertisements filtered before the cache is reset. - `NimBLEScan::setMaxResults`: This allows for setting a maximum number of advertised devices stored in the results vector. - `NimBLEAdvertisedDevice` New data retrieval methods added: - `haveAdvInterval/getAdvInterval`: checks if the interval is advertised / gets the advertisement interval value. - `haveConnParams/getMinInterval/getMaxInterval`: checks if the parameters are advertised / get min value / get max value. - `haveURI/getURI`: checks if a URI is advertised / gets the URI data. - `haveTargetAddress/getTargetAddressCount/getTargetAddress(index)`: checks if a target address is present / gets a count of the addresses targeted / gets the address of the target at index. ### Changed - `nimconfig.h` (Arduino) is now easier to use. - `NimBLEServer::getServiceByUUID` Now takes an extra parameter of instanceID to support multiple services with the same UUID. - `NimBLEService::getCharacteristic` Now takes an extra parameter of instanceID to support multiple characteristics with the same UUID. - `NimBLEAdvertising` Transmission power is no longer advertised by default and can be added to the advertisement by calling `NimBLEAdvertising::addTxPower` - `NimBLEAdvertising` Custom scan response data can now be used without custom advertisement. - `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. ### Fixed - `NimBLEHIDDevice` Characteristics now use encryption, this resolves an issue with communicating with devices requiring encryption for HID devices. ## [1.1.0] - 2021-01-20 ### Added - `NimBLEDevice::setOwnAddrType` added to enable the use of random and random-resolvable addresses, by asukiaaa - New examples for securing and authenticating client/server connections, by mblasee. - `NimBLEAdvertising::SetMinPreferred` and `NimBLEAdvertising::SetMinPreferred` re-added. - Conditional checks added for command line config options in `nimconfig.h` to support custom configuration in platformio. - `NimBLEClient::setValue` Now takes an extra bool parameter `response` to enable the use of write with response (default = false). - `NimBLEClient::getCharacteristic(uint16_t handle)` Enabling the use of the characteristic handle to be used to find the NimBLERemoteCharacteristic object. - `NimBLEHIDDevice` class added by wakwak-koba. - `NimBLEServerCallbacks::onDisconnect` overloaded callback added to provide a ble_gap_conn_desc parameter for the application to obtain information about the disconnected client. - Conditional checks in `nimconfig.h` for command line defined macros to support platformio config settings. ### Changed - `NimBLEAdvertising::start` now returns a bool value to indicate success/failure. - Some asserts were removed in `NimBLEAdvertising::start` and replaced with better return code handling and logging. - If a host reset event occurs, scanning and advertising will now only be restarted if their previous duration was indefinite. - `NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::subscribe` and `NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::registerForNotify` will now set the callback regardless of the existence of the CCCD and return true unless the descriptor write operation failed. - Advertising tx power level is now sent in the advertisement packet instead of scan response. - `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. ### Fixed - Sometimes `NimBLEClient::connect` would hang on the task block if no event arrived to unblock. A time limit has been added to timeout appropriately. - When getting descriptors for a characteristic the end handle of the service was used as a proxy for the characteristic end handle. This would be rejected by some devices and has been changed to use the next characteristic handle as the end when possible. - An exception could occur when deleting a client instance if a notification arrived while the attribute vectors were being deleted. A flag has been added to prevent this. - An exception could occur after a host reset event when the host re-synced if the tasks that were stopped during the event did not finish processing. A yield has been added after re-syncing to allow tasks to finish before proceeding. - Occasionally the controller would fail to send a disconnected event causing the client to indicate it is connected and would be unable to reconnect. A timer has been added to reset the host/controller if it expires. - Occasionally the call to start scanning would get stuck in a loop on BLE_HS_EBUSY, this loop has been removed. - 16bit and 32bit UUID's in some cases were not discovered or compared correctly if the device advertised them as 16/32bit but resolved them to 128bits. Both are now checked. - `FreeRTOS` compile errors resolved in latest Arduino core and IDF v3.3. - Multiple instances of `time()` called inside critical sections caused sporadic crashes, these have been moved out of critical regions. - Advertisement type now correctly set when using non-connectable (advertiser only) mode. - Advertising payload length correction, now accounts for appearance. - (Arduino) Ensure controller mode is set to BLE Only. ## [1.0.2] - 2020-09-13 ### Changed - `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). - (Arduino) Maximum BLE connections can now be altered by only changing the value of `CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_MAX_CONNECTIONS` in `nimconfig.h`. Any changes to the controller max connection settings in `sdkconfig.h` will now have no effect when using this library. - (Arduino) Revert the previous change to fix the advertising start delay. Instead a replacement fix that routes all BLE controller commands from a task running on core 0 (same as the controller) has been implemented. This improves response times and reliability for all BLE functions. ## [1.0.1] - 2020-09-02 ### Added - Empty `NimBLEAddress` constructor: `NimBLEAddress()` produces an address of 00:00:00:00:00:00 type 0. - Documentation of the difference of NimBLEAddress::getNative vs the original bluedroid library. ### Changed - notify_callback typedef is now defined as std::function to enable the use of std::bind to call a class member function. ### Fixed - Fix advertising start delay when first called. ## [1.0.0] - 2020-08-22 First stable release. All the original library functionality is complete and many extras added with full documentation.
