0.3.0

Added

• Exception hierarchy: New base class StorageCardException with block address context support:
  • StorageCardException.getBlockAddress() method to retrieve the block address involved in errors.
• Enhanced exception handling: All storage card exceptions now extend StorageCardException and include block address context:
  • CardIOException constructor now accepts blockAddress parameter.
  • ReaderIOException constructor now accepts blockAddress parameter.
  • UnexpectedCommandStatusException constructor now accepts blockAddress parameter.

• Product type capability:
  New ProductType.hasWriteAcknowledgment() method to indicate whether a storage card provides a reliable acknowledgment after write operations.

Changed

• Write operation behavior: API contract updated for prepareWriteBlocks() method regarding verification reads:
  • The API now specifies that implementations must handle verification reads transparently for storage cards without reliable write acknowledgment (e.g., SRT512/ST25).
  • For cards with reliable write acknowledgment, no additional reads are required by the implementation.
  • Applications can now rely on the API contract that data integrity is guaranteed without explicitly performing verification reads.

Removed

• Deprecated exception: Removed InconsistentDataException class as it's no longer needed with the new exception hierarchy.
