+### Changes
+- Everything rewritten in TypeScript
+- Everything is tested before releasing
+- Lots of optimizations
+- Lots of name changes
+- New methods: `resetPlc()`, `readWriteRawMulti()`, `writeRawByPath()`, `readValueBySymbol()`, `writeValueBySymbol()`
+- New setting `disableCaching`: disables all symbol and data type caching
+- Added optional `targetOpts` argument in **all methods**
+  - Possible to provide different target address (AmsNetId and/or AdsPort) than specified in the settings
+  - Caching is only available for the original target provided in settings
+  - The same client can be used for many different targets at the same time
+- Added support for reading/writing `INTERFACE` data types
+- Added support for reading/writing empty `FUNCTION_BLOCK`s
+- Added support for reading/writing `BIT` data type
+- Writing a `STRING` or `WSTRING` value that is longer than the target data type causes the string to be truncated.
+  - Previously the string end character was lost, which caused "never ending string" and `<Value of the expression cannot be retrieved` in PLC online view.
+  - E.g. writing 85 bytes of string to `STRING(80)` variable
+- `BOOL` and `BIT` data values are now true if the value is anything else than 0
+  - In TwinCAT, `BOOL` is true if the value is anything else than zero (see [x_TO_BOOL](https://infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/tc3_plc_intro/2529047435.html&id=))
+  - Before, ads-client set the value to true only if value was true or 1, otherwise it was 0
+- `writeControl()` accepts also string values for `adsState`
+
