This is placeholder text.
A snarly old bug has finally been solved, and some contributions from the
user community (and this needs to be added to the project the way other
projects do to give credit where it's due!).
- added a check installation script
- (#325)
- (#295)
- (#330)
- (#327)
- (#323)
- (#307)
- additional auto-discover application
- additional local schedule object application
- updated tests
### ReadRange Sample - Property is not a list (#295)
The basic premise of the library is that property values should have Pythonic
values whenever possible. For example, if the *presentValue* (a.k.a.
Present_Value) of an object is a *Real* then the Python value should be a
*float*. There is no distinction between the concept of a "list" and "array"
in Python, so lists of character strings should simply be
`["this", "is", "a", "list"]` and exactly the same for an array.
This non-distinction wasn't properly accounted for, so in some cases the
property value needed to be constructed like `ArrayOf(Integer)([1, 2, 3])`.
There is nothing wrong with creating them that way, but it caused some
confusion in the sample applications and in code.
### 'cov_detection' is not defined (#307)
This is cascade of bugs, the last one being solved by the fix above.
### Enumerated Keylist (#323)
Sorting has changed in Python3.6+.
### Fixed call to bvlpdu_contents() for FDTEntry (#325) (#324)
Building Python dictionaries out of objects and PDUs is an ongoing thing, so
it was a surprise that someone else finds this useful, and including a fix
is awesome.
### 'weeklySchedule' Fixed Array Size (#327)
There are probably other fixed size array properties hidden in undiscovered
countries, this is a fix for one of them.
### LocalScheduleObject and changing exceptionSchedule (#330)
This resulted in a new sample application.
### Added a Check Installation Script
While I'm testing different versions of BACpypes with different versions of
Python I lose track of which version is installed where; system, user,
virtual environment, etc. This script launches each version of Python and
attempts to import the library, then dump out the version and path.
### Additional Auto-discover Application
There are a few versions of auto-discover applications that I have floating
around and this one dives deeper into properties of objects and arrays. It
has a "ToDoList" class which acts like a single threaded queue for requests
and processing responses, and there can be multiple lists "running" at the
same time.
There are better versions of this application over in the
[bacpypes-snapshot](https://github.com/JoelBender/bacpypes-snapshot) project
which also has an application to "replay" the results.
### Updated Tests
Yep.
