v0.2.6

Date: 2026-03-24
Previous release: v0.2.5

Summary

This release switches the S7 client library to the renamed module github.com/otfabric/go-s7comm, ships Windows binaries alongside Linux and macOS, and embeds version metadata at link time (no version.txt). Prebuilt archives follow the same naming pattern as before, with .zip files for Windows.

Highlights

• Dependency rename: All imports and go.mod now use github.com/otfabric/go-s7comm instead of github.com/otfabric/s7comm. The API is unchanged for consumers of the CLI binary; anyone building or forking the repo should run go mod tidy and update any local replace directives to point at the new module path. This release tracks go-s7comm v0.6.3.
• Windows artifacts: GitHub releases include Windows ZIPs (for example s7commctl-0.2.6-windows-amd64.zip and s7commctl-0.2.6-windows-arm64.zip), each containing the corresponding s7commctl-0.2.6-windows-*.exe, in addition to the existing Linux and Darwin .tar.gz bundles.
• Version command / builds: Binaries are built with -s -w and -X main.version=… -X main.tag=… -X main.commit=… -X main.buildDate=…, matching the shared release workflow. s7commctl version reports version, commit, and build date, and includes the git tag when the build is exactly on a tag. version.txt is removed; local Makefile derives VERSION / TAG from git for make build, make run, and make release-all.

Toolchain

• Go: go 1.25 (see go.mod).

Upgrade notes

• After pulling v0.2.6, run go mod tidy so indirect dependencies resolve against go-s7comm.
• If you had a replace for github.com/otfabric/s7comm, retarget it to github.com/otfabric/go-s7comm (or drop it if you only consume released versions).
