Python 3.7+ only, for Python 2.7 builds use v0.2.x releases
Requires pc-ble-driver-py v0.12.0+ (also py3.7+)
Uses Nordic Connectivity firmware v4.1.1 which corresponds with Softdevice v5 API
- Images can be flashed to dev kits and nrf52840 using nRF Connect and the hex files provided by pc-ble-driver-py
Should be mostly backwards compatible with v0.2.x, other than the above changes to dependent libraries and firmware

Known changes which may affect codebases

Scanner.scanning field was replaced with a read-only property Scanner.is_scanning
Parameter validation was added for Advertising interval, scan window/interval/timeout, and connection interval/timeout. Will raise ValueError exceptions when provided parameters are out of range
With python3, converting from bytes to str (and vice-versa) requires an encoding format. By default the encoding scheme used is utf-8 but can be set per-characteristic
peer.disconnect() will now always return a Waitable object. Before it would return None if not connected. If disconnect() is called when the peer is not connected, it will return a Waitable object that expires immediately

New Features (not a comprehensive list)

Driver now properly works with 2 devices simultaneously
event callbacks can now be used in a with context so the handler can be deregistered at the end of the block
- Example usage here
The ScanFinishedWaitable now provides a scan_reports iterable which can be used to iterate on advertising packets as they're seen in real-time
- Example usage here
the Peer object now exposes properties the active connection parameters and the configured preferred connection parameters
the Peripheral object now exposes an on_service_discovery_complete event
added AdvertisingData.to_bytes() to get the actual packet that will be advertised over the air
