Beta 9 Change Log
Alpaca Client Breaking Changes
To align with use elsewhere in the library, Alpaca client string device type parameters have been changed to require an ASCOM.Common.DeviceTypes enum value instead. Methods that supported "return all device types" functionality when the device type was set to an empty string, now require a null value instead of a DeviceTypes enum value.
- The Devices.DeviceTypeToString(DeviceTypes deviceTypes) and Devices.StringToDeviceType(string deviceType) static utility methods can be used to convert from string device type names to equivalent enum values and vice versa. The Devices.StringToDeviceType method is case insensitive, it just requires the device type to be correctly spelled.
AlpacaDevice and AscomDevice constructors now require an HTTP/HTTPS service type parameter.
AscomDevice constructors now require the device type parameter to be a DeviceTypes enum value rather than a string value.
The AlpacaDiscovery.GetAscomDevices() and AlpacaDiscovery.GetAscomDevicesAsArrayList() methods now require the device type parameter to be specified as a DeviceTypes enum value.
Other Changes
- The HTTP/HTTPS service type used when initiating an Alpaca discovery is now persisted to discovered Alpaca devices.
- A new AlpacaClient.ClientConfiguration property has been added to all Alpaca clients. This enables Alpaca specific parameters, common to all device types, to be queried and set after client creation.
- To facilitate control of AlpacaCamera specific properties, the AlpacaCamera.ImageArrayTransferType and AlpacaCamera.ImageArrayCompression properties have been added to the AlpacaCamera client class.
- New T AlpacaClient.GetDevice<T> static generic methods have been added that enable Alpaca clients to be created from a supplied AscomDevice class instance.
