Changed

  • Updated NimBLE core to use the v1.4.0 branch of esp-nimble.
  • AD flags are no longer set in the advertisements of non-connectable beacons, freeing up 3 bytes of advertisement room.
  • Config option CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_DEBUG replaced with CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_LOG_LEVEL (see src/nimconfig.h for usage)
  • Config option CONFIG_NIMBLE_CPP_ENABLE_ADVERTISMENT_TYPE_TEXT renamed to CONFIG_NIMBLE_CPP_ENABLE_ADVERTISEMENT_TYPE_TEXT

[1.3.8] - 2022-04-27

Fixed

  • Fix compile error with ESP32S3.
  • Prevent a potential crash when retrieving characteristics from a service if the result was successful but no characteristics found.

Changed

  • Save resources when retrieving descriptors if the characteristic handle is the same as the end handle (no descriptors).
  • Subscribing to characteristic notifications/indications will now always use write with response, as per BLE specifications.
  • NimBLEClient::discoverAttributes now returns a bool value to indicate success/failure

[1.3.7] - 2022-02-15

Fixed

  • Crash when retrieving an attribute that does not exist on the peer.
  • Memory leak when deleting client instances.
  • Compilation errors for esp32s3

[1.3.6] - 2022-01-18

Changed

  • When retrieving attributes from a server fails with a 128bit UUID containing the ble base UUID another attempt will be made with the 16bit version of the UUID.

Fixed

  • Memory leak when services are changed on server devices.
  • Rare crashing that occurs when BLE commands are sent from ISR context using IPC.
  • Crashing caused by uninitialized disconnect timer in client.
  • Potential crash due to uninitialized advertising callback pointer.

[1.3.5] - 2022-01-14

Added

  • CONFIG_NIMBLE_CPP_DEBUG_LEVEL macro in nimconfig.h to allow setting the log level separately from the Arduino core log level.

Fixed

  • Memory leak when initializing/deinitializing the BLE stack caused by new FreeRTOS timers be created on each initialization.

[1.3.4] - 2022-01-09

Fixed

  • Workaround for latest Arduino-esp32 core that causes tasks not to block when required, which caused functions to return prematurely resulting in exceptions/crashing.
  • The wrong length value was being used to set the values read from peer attributes. This has been corrected to use the proper value size.

[1.3.3] - 2021-11-24

Fixed

Added

  • NimBLEClient::getLastError : Gets the error code of the last function call that produces a return code from the stack.

[1.3.1] - 2021-08-04

Fixed

  • Corrected a compiler/linker error when an application or a library uses bluetooth classic due to the redefinition of btInUse.

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.
