Releases

Version 6.0.1

• Allow NULL values for daily schedule, exception schedule and schedule default
• Fix scheduling issues when TimeValue sequences are not in chronological order
• Fix schedule object using incorrect time format to trigger next update

Version 6.0.0

• fix DeviceObjectTest.timeSynchronization test to pass
• IAmRequest no longer automatically gets the extended device information this must now be done by adding an IAmRequestListener or using DiscoveryUtils.getExtendedDeviceInformation(d1, rd); The extended device info no longer retrieved is:
  • PropertyIdentifier.protocolServicesSupported
  • PropertyIdentifier.objectName
  • PropertyIdentifier.protocolVersion
  • PropertyIdentifier.vendorIdentifier
  • PropertyIdentifier.modelName
  • PropertyIdentifier.maxSegmentsAccepted
• Only update a cached device's address if the NPCI data has the source specifier flag set
• Allow overriding the ScheduledExecutorService used by the LocalDevice

Version 5.0.2

• Relax restriction on reading values that are invalid by only validating values when they are written to our device

Version 5.0.1

• Fix Door Status values for none=5, closing=6, opening=7, safetyLocked=8 limitedOpened=9

Version 5.0.0

• Fully BTL Certifiable
• Support up to 255 segments when sending a request and response
• Bugfix to allow setReuseAddress to work correctly when using BACnetIP
• Bugfix to ensure the propertyArrayIndex is correctly returned when reading via callback in RequestUtils
• Change to Maven Eclipse Project
• Modify RequestUtil.readProperties() to attempt to request sequenced values if they are too large and would cause a segmentationNotSupported response
• Modify RequestUtilsreadProperties() to optionally allow returning null values

Version 4.1.7

• Add support for Relatime MS/TP linux realtime driver to handle token passing timing
• Change Vendor ID to 865 Infinite Automation Systems, Inc.

Version 4.1.6

• change http to https in JCenter Bintray repo in pom.xml

Version 4.1.5

• Reduce PropertyUtils.requestPropertiesFromDevice timeout log message to info as this message can be generated quite often

Version 4.1.4

• Fix for wrong loop condition on getting id for local device
• Fixes for reading elements of priority array

Version 3.2.4

• Fixing bug in SerialPortWrapper where stop bits and data bits were reversed.

*Version 3.2.3

• Removed restriction on binding LocalDevice to 0.0.0.0
• Added code to ensure DefaultTransport thread can't die from a bad expire() call
• Added code to ServiceFutureImpl to allow using timeouts
• Using timeouts in DefaultTransport for ServiceFutures

Version 3.2 release notes

• Added BBMD support
• Much enhanced support for acting as a foreign device
• Improved test framework

Version 3.0 release notes

• The ANT build system has been replaced with Gradle
• Dependencies have been removed. BACnet4J now operates without any external libs
• Support for IPv6 added
• Ad hoc test code has begun to be replaced with JUnit tests
• Blocking request calls have been replaced with non-blocking promises/callbacks
• Added implementations of many objects, including analog value, binary output, binary value, calendar, multistate value, notification classes, and schedules.
• Added intrinsic alarming for implemented objects
• Added COV reporting
• Many bug fixes and minor enhancements

Version 2.0 release notes

The networking package of this product has been pretty much entirely rewritten to support MS/TP. These changes implied many changes to the LocalDevice public interface, so if you were using version 1.x you will need to port some code to upgrade.
