 ## Released
+## [2.1.2] - 2022-12-28
+### Changed
+- Baudrate specific inter frame time is used at Modbus RTU internal function `_uart_read` of [serial.py](umodbus/serial.py) instead of constant value of 5ms
+
+### Fixed
+- ESP32 port specific `wait_tx_done` function replaced by generic wait time calculation in `_send` function of [serial.py](umodbus/serial.py), see #34
+- A 1ms delay has been added between turning the RS485 control pin on and sending the Modbus PDU in `_send` function of [serial.py](umodbus/serial.py)
+
 ## [2.1.1] - 2022-12-27
 ### Fixed
 - Removed unnecessary dependency to `micropython-urequests` from Docker files, setup guide and package setup file
