Version 2.2.0 Released

We have implemented payload write support to iOS devices which enables them to connect back when they have not seen a Bluetooth advertisement from an Android device. We have also added more explicit support for custom service UUIDs for application developers. As a result of all of these changes battery life has improved again.

What's Changed

• Merge back into develop from main after v2.1.1 release by @adamfowleruk in #257
• Fixes #258. Added support for custom service UUIDs and made BLe more reliable by @adamfowleruk in #262

Full Changelog: v2.1.1...v2.2.0

Version 2.1.1 Released

This release improves detection and reliability on Android devices. Primarily this minor release addresses Bluetooth permissions inaccuracies on Android, and adds better reliability when the user enables or disables Bluetooth on the device, or enables and disables Herald on the demonstration application. This should make testing the Herald Demo App on Android easier and more reliable. Now you can just install the app and immediately use it.

What's Changed

• Fixes #253. Android Bluetooth permissions and status improvements by @adamfowleruk in #256

Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.1.1

Version 2.1.0 Released

This release, on Android only, includes the beta of the General Purpose Distributed Messaging Protocol (GPDMP).
