Connectivity Protocol V1 [Beta]

Overview

This release marks a significant evolution of the protocol. We've shifted focus from sensors.social-specific telemetry to a broader, general-purpose connectivity framework. This change reflects our commitment to building reusable infrastructure for IoT and distributed systems.

Major Changes

Repository & Package Reorganization

• Repository renamed: sensors-social-proto → connectivity-protocol
• Buf registry package renamed: buf.build/airalab/sensors-social-proto → buf.build/airalab/connectivity-protocol

All imports should be updated accordingly. See migration guide below.

Migration Guide

If you're using the previous package, update your buf.yaml:

# Before
deps:
  - buf.build/airalab/sensors-social-proto

# After
deps:
  - buf.build/airalab/connectivity-protocol
