# Highlights

- a couple of longstanding bugs with connection handling have been fixed, which should hopefully keep your devices online for longer and have them recover more reliably when they do go offline.

 # Breaking changes

- "device22" devices are no longer auto detected when the protocol is 3.3. If your devices stop working after the upgrade, please try setting them to the new 3.22 protocol before filing a bug report.
- Electriq DESD9LW dehumidifier: deprecated humidity sensor has been removed, use the humidity from the humidifier entity.
- Eeese Carl: tank sensor has reverted to how it was before 2024.12.2. If you have this device, and the behaviour from the past 3 releases was correct for you, then file a request for a new device, as it is not compatible with devices of other users.
