BleGattCoroutines v0.4.0

Publication of this version is broken, use 0.4.1 or newer instead.

Compiled with Kotlin 1.3.31 (and kotlinx.coroutines 1.2.1).

This is an important release for BleGattCoroutines that includes fixes, improvements & new features.

Fixes

• Fix rare hard to track uncaught exceptions caused by offer called on closed channels. (744e862)
• Automatically request disconnect on close by default. Avoids issue where connection is not stopped by close on Android's side and prevents subsequent connections.

New features

• Add a public bluetoothDevice property to the GattConnection interface, thanks to Brian Parma contribution.
• Add requestMtu function on GattConnection, thanks to Bill Cauchois contribution.
• Add first-class notifications enabling on remote device with setCharacteristicNotificationsEnabledOnRemoteDevice. This was the most requested feature.
• Add openNotificationSubscription function to receive notifications only for a specific characteristic. This can replace usage of the notifyChannel property.

Changes

• The notifyChannel property now returns a new subscription each time, so it is possible to have multiple consumers.
• Exceptions to catch are now mentioned in GattConnection KDoc. (b85c9be)
• Add workaround for Dispatchers.Main initialization doing blocking I/O (8783db9).
• Drop main thread usage requirement. You can now use the dispatcher you want.
• Samples and @RequiresApi annotations migrated to AndroidX.
• Samples now properly request runtime permissions, with a single suspending function call thanks to Splitties permissions.
• Minor doc improvements.
