 ## [v0.3.1] - 17.08.2025
 
+Unreleased to pip, only git tag available.
+
 This release contains a lot of new features and improvements so that a version 1.0.0 may be published sooner:
 
 - better conceptual alignment with WoT in code structure
 - more tests coverage in both breadth and depth
 - schedule async methods & threaded actions more easily
-- support pydantic models for action schema validation directly with python typing annotations - no need explicitly specify schema 
+- support pydantic models for action schema validation directly with python typing annotations - no need explicitly specify schema
 - easier to add more protocols (like MQTT, CoAP, etc) - protocol bindings are more systematically supported as far as what goes for an WoT compatible RPC

+- scripting API (`ObjectProxy`) also support HTTP - client object abstracts operations irrespective of protocol
 - `observe_property` op on client side (although we always supported on server side)
 - descriptors for all of properties, actions, events and state machine. previously only property was a descriptor

 ## Git Branching
 
-A simpler model is used roughly based on [this article](https://www.bitsnbites.eu/a-stable-mainline-branching-model-for-git/) - 
-- main branch is where all stable developments are merged, all your branches must merge here 
-- main branch is merged to release branch when it is decided to created a release. 
-- A specific release is tagged and not created as its own branch. Instead release branch simply follows the main branch at the release time. People should clone the main branch for latest (mostly-) stable code base and release branch for released code base. 
-- other branches are feature or bug fix branches. A develop branch may be used to make general improvements as the package is constantly evolving, but its not a specific philosophy to use a develop branch. 
-- Bug fixes on releases must proceed from the tag of that release. Perhaps, even a new release can be made after fixing the bug by merging a bug fix branch to main branch.
