This release is made due to a longer delay in releasing v4.0.0 (probably end of year).

Remark, this release contains important changes for the modbus integration in Home Assistant ! The changes are tested in a custom_component modbus.

Pymodbus v3.9.2

• Reactivate simulator validate. (#2643)
• Don't bool-test explicit datastores (#2638)
• Test and hard delayed response test. (#2636)
• Update simulator doc. (#2635)
• SimData update
• Officially working towards 4.0.0

Pymodbus v3.9.1

• Correct byte order in bits. (#2631)

pymodbus v3.9.0

• Correct bit handling internally and in API. (#2627)
• default argument ModbusSequentialDataBlock (#2622)
• Fix exception error message for decoding response (#2618)
• Expose exception_code to API. (#2615)
• Simplify ruff config (#2611)
• Documentation dont fixed. (#2605)
• sum() can operate on an Iterator directly (#2610)
• SimData update. (#2601)
• StartServer custom_functions -> custom_pdu.
• Update pyproject.toml to remove python 3.9.
• Remove validate() from datastores. (#2595)
• Python 3.9 is EOL, not supported actively. (#2596)
• correct handle_local_echo for sync client. (#2593)
• devcontainer, automatic install. (#2583)
• Don't set_result on completed futures. (#2582)
• Flush recv_buffer before each transaction write. (#2581)
• Add missing trace. (#2578)
• Update github actions. (#2579)

Remark #2627 is a very important commit, because e.g. read_coils returned the coils in a wrong order, meaning the app would misinterpret.
This is a very old, which went unnoticed for years.

pymodbus v3.8.6

• Allow id=0 and check if response.id == request.id. (#2572)

It turns out that not allowing id=0 was too restrictive, instead now requests with id=0 is allowed provided the device responds with id=0.

pymodbus v3.8.5

• New simulator is WIP, not to be used. (#2568)
• dev_id=0 no response expected (returns ExceptionResponse(0xff)). (#2567)
• New simulator datastore. (#2535)

pymodbus v3.8.4

• Parameterize string encoding in convert_to_registers and convert_from_registers (#2558)
• Fix client modbus function calls in remote by adding count as keyword argument (#2563)
• Fix exception text in ModbusPDU.validateAddress (#2551)
• Typo arround no_response_expected (#2550)
• Trace new connection in server. (#2549)
• Add trace to server.
• Update misleading DATATYPE text. (#2547)
• Fix pylint.
• Clarify server usage.
• Solve instable transaction testing. (#2538)

v3.8.3

Bug fix release, and remove the deprecated tag on payload.

The main goals have changed, please see https://pymodbus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/roadmap.html
