node-red-contrib-modbus-modpackqt 3.3.14 → 3.3.16

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -4,6 +4,31 @@ All notable changes to **node-red-contrib-modbus-modpackqt** are documented
 here. This project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) — pin a
 major version (`^2.0.0`) in production.
 
+## [3.3.16] — 2026-05-10
+
+### Added
+
+- **Slave server now has a single output port** that emits one message
+  per external Modbus client read/write — `{ direction, type, address,
+  values, port, unitId, ts }`. Wire to a Debug node to watch live
+  traffic from PLCs / SCADA / HMIs hitting the slave. The output port
+  also makes the node render visibly chunkier on the canvas (matching
+  the size of other contrib server nodes).
+- **"Edit on modpackqt.com" CTAs** in both master-probe and
+  slave-server dialogs — quick link to the saved-profile editor on
+  the web for changing IP / port / unit ID / register layout without
+  leaving Node-RED.
+
+## [3.3.15] — 2026-05-10
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Slave server node renders bigger on the canvas.** Uses
+  `align: 'right'` (server-anchored icon, the same convention as
+  the MQTT broker / Modbus server nodes from other palettes) and a
+  longer descriptive label like `Modbus TCP Slave Server  :1502 #1`,
+  which Node-RED auto-widens to fit. Easier to spot at a glance.
+
 ## [3.3.14] — 2026-05-10
