DHT11 Sensor Library v2.1.0 for Arduino - Hotfix Release

DHT11 Sensor Library v2.1.0 for Arduino - Hotfix Release

I'm thrilled to announce the release of the DHT11 Sensor Library v2.1.0 for Arduino. This version introduces several enhancements, optimizations, and a significant hotfix aimed at improving functionality and user experience. Importantly, this release is backward compatible with previous versions, ensuring a seamless transition for your projects.

What's Changed

• New readTemperatureHumidity Method: I've introduced a method for efficiently reading both temperature and humidity simultaneously, significantly streamlining the data acquisition process.

• Codebase Refinement: I've undertaken comprehensive refactoring of the internal data reading process to reduce code repetition and enhance maintainability.

• Advanced Error Handling: I've improved the error handling mechanism. Now, specific error codes are returned by the readTemperatureHumidity method, aligning it with the readTemperature and readHumidity methods for consistency.

• Documentation Enhancements: I've updated the documentation to reflect the latest changes, providing clear guidance on utilizing the new library version effectively.

DHT11 Sensor Library v2.0.0 for Arduino - Enhanced with Breaking Changes

DHT11 Sensor Library v2.0.0 for Arduino

I'm proud to introduce version 2.0.0 of the DHT11 Sensor Library for Arduino. This release builds upon the initial version, bringing significant enhancements, optimizations, and new features. Please be aware that this version introduces breaking changes that could affect your existing setups.

What's New?

• Breaking Change: I've modified the return types of readTemperature() and readHumidity() methods to align more closely with the DHT11's 1-degree resolution. You might need to adjust your code to maintain compatibility.

• Better Documentation: The library now includes clearer inline comments and a more detailed guide, making it more user-friendly and maintainable.

• User-Centric Error Descriptions: With the new getErrorString method, it's easier than ever to interpret error codes with user-friendly messages.

• Refined Code Structure: I've undertaken a major refactor of the code, ensuring better robustness, efficiency, and maintainability.

• Community Engagement: The new CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md lay the groundwork for potential contributors and set clear community standards.

• Visualization Boost: Check out the new ReadPlot example, which provides a real-time visualization of temperature and humidity data via the Arduino Serial Plotter.

• Extended Compatibility: I've tested and confirmed the library's compatibility with NodeMCU ESP32 and ESP8266 platforms.

A Friendly Reminder:

Given the breaking changes in this release, I strongly recommend going through the updates and detailed documentation to ensure a smooth transition for your projects.

Your feedback has been invaluable in shaping this release, and I look forward to your continued insights. My goal is to make the DHT11 Arduino Library a go-to solution for temperature and humidity sensing in the Arduino world.

Thank you for your support and for being part of this journey. Here's to even more precise and efficient environmental readings!
