• fix for incorrectly parsing arrays of structures inside structures
• fix for improper packing/parsing strings with lengths not aligned to 4-byte boundaries
• [EXPERIMENTAL] added support for writing of full structures
  • value should be a sequence of values for each tag in a structure, nesting as needed
  • does not read tag first, starts with a zero-filled struct. application responsibility to get the current values.
  • does not validate value matches data type definition, only throws exception if unable to pack value using definition
  • not recommended for built-in types (TIMER, COUNTER, etc)

fix for failing to detect a Micro800 on connect

• added option to embed the Unconnected Send service in a generic request
• fixed issue with get_plc_info returning the info for whatever module is in slot 0
  • due to the change to using a generic message and missing the unconnected send and cip path

• fix for extra packages being included in wheel

Adjustments to response size calculation to resolve some issues with out-of-space errors when reading multiple UDTs where their size lands near the packet max size.

• simplified README, all detail information moving to the docs
• fix for auto-detect of Micro800
• fix for string array writing past element limit in request
• reworked how write values are encoded to fix string array writing issue
  • could possibly use it to support structure writing
• fix to handle failed get_plc_time request
• added unconnected message support to generic read/write

• fix to remove empty multi-request packets that throw errors when attempting to send
  • if all tags required a fragmented request an empty multi-request could be left over

• added modules/tasks/programs/routines to plc.info during the retrieval of the tag list
• kept module-defined tags in tag list
• fixed issues with writing large string arrays
• added get/set plc time methods
• added generic read/write methods, similar to CIP Generic connected messages in Logix
• added more debugging logging
• documentation updates

• fix for single or fragmented failed reads not showing the service/command error properly
  • it would try and parse a non-existent value, any exceptions thrown during that would override the CIP error

• fixed issue for reading the tag list on PLCs below v18.
  • ExternalAccess attribute 10 for the Symbol Object was added in v18, it will be skipped if firmware is below that version
  • required init_info to be True to work automatically, else set plc.info['version_major'] = 17
