 # Changelog
 
-## [Unreleased]
+## [0.11.6] - 2026-09-22 - Docs and skills catch up
+
+Docs and agent skills caught up with the platform. The only code change is
+one error message. The skills ship inside the wheel, so this release is how
+they reach users.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The 0.11.4 entry below overstated the `class` bug.** It said raw-HTTP
+  examples without `class` return 400. They don't: `POST /ingest` infers a
+  missing `class` (numbers become metrics, everything else events). The
+  WebSocket is the path that requires it, and `"class": "metric"` on a
+  non-number is still a 400. The skills and `API.md` now say that, and still
+  tell raw-HTTP senders to set `class` explicitly. The JavaScript, Arduino
+  and Bash examples in `API.md` now set it too.
+
+- **Where to get an API key.** The README said "Devices → Add Device" and
+  `API.md` said "Settings → Developer". Keys are made at
+  `app.plexus.company/api`, and the "no API key" error now says so instead
+  of pointing at `/devices`.
+
+- **The README said `setup.sh` refuses to run without `--name`.** It
+  doesn't. Without a name the SDK makes up a random `source-xxxxxxxx` id.
+  The README now says to pass `--name` and what happens if you don't.
+
+- **The README said to "enable" the SQLite buffer.** It is on by default.
+  The example now shows how to turn it off.
+
+- **The firmware skill said `px.send()` is "batched for you".** It is one
+  message per call. Only `px.batch()` batches.
+
+- **The bug-report template asked which of `sensors`, `can`, `mavlink` and
+  `camera` you had installed.** None of those extras exist. The only one is
+  `video`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The read API host in the skills is `https://api.plexus.company`**, not
+  the raw Fly hostname. `scripts/verify_skills.py` checks it by default, and
+  a test keeps the old hostname out of the skills.
+
+- **Documented "Limit to device slug".** A key made with it can only send as
+  that one `source_id`. The docs recommend one for every device in a
+  customer's hands.
+
+- **Documented the Free plan's limits.** The gateway refuses the device
+  WebSocket on Free (`streaming_requires_plan`); the SDK falls back to HTTP,
+  so telemetry and events still land. Live streaming and video need a paid
+  plan. Free allows 3 devices and 7 days of history.
+
+- **Documented how video is kept.** Frames are relayed live, and stored only
+  when someone presses Record in the app, up to 4 hours per recording.
+
+- **Documented logs.** There is no log upload and no `logging.Handler`.
+  Forward the lines that matter with `px.event("log", {...})`. Event limits
+  are now written down: 256 bytes for a string value, 4,096 bytes of JSON
+  for an object or array, 16 tags.
+
+- **`scripts/setup.sh` re-synced with the script `/setup` serves.** The old
+  copy still installed `[sensors]` and `[picamera]` extras that were removed
+  in 0.2.0. It also links `github.com/plexus-oss/plexus-python` and
+  `app.plexus.company/api` now.
+
+- **The skills read device events from `/v1/sources/{id}/events`.** It is
+  live on the data API as of 2026-09-22. `/logs` still works as an alias.
+
+- **Rate limits quote the gateway's current ceiling**: 2,000 messages/s per
+  connection and per source, not the old 500/s.

Without it, and without `source_id=...` in code, the SDK makes up a random id like `source-1a2b3c4d` on first run and saves it to `~/.plexus/config.json`. Don't use the hostname: cloned SD-card images all boot as `raspberrypi`, and their telemetry merges into one source.
 
 **Names are not auto-deduplicated.** The gateway echoes back whatever `source_id` you declare, unchanged — pick a unique name per device (that's what `--name` and `source_id=...` are for). Two devices that declare the same name write into the same source.

 The platform displays events as markers overlaid on your telemetry charts, not as time-series lines.
 
+Limits per event: a string value up to 256 bytes, a dict or list value up to 4,096 bytes of JSON, and up to 16 tags. The gateway rejects anything larger.

+### Logs
+
+There is no log-file upload and no `logging.Handler` in this package. To get important log lines into Plexus, send them as events:
+
+```python
+px.event("log", {"level": "error", "msg": "IMU read timed out"})
+```
+
+Forward the lines you would want on the timeline next to your telemetry (errors, warnings, state changes), not every debug line. Each call is one message, and the gateway limits messages (see [`batch()`](#batch--coalesce-a-fast-stream-of-readings)).

 ## Video streaming
 
 Two methods depending on whether you control the capture loop or just have a URL.
 
+Video needs a paid plan: frames go over the WebSocket, which the gateway refuses on the Free plan. Frames are relayed live to anyone watching. They are stored only when someone presses **Record** in the app, for up to 4 hours per recording.
+
 ### `send_video_frame(frame, camera_id)` — send frames you capture yourself
 
 Use this when your code owns the capture loop — a `picamera2` callback, an OpenCV `VideoCapture` loop, or an FFmpeg pipe you manage. Pass each frame and the SDK ships it to Plexus over WebSocket.

 There is no transport selector: the SDK always prefers the WebSocket and falls back to `POST /ingest` on its own when the socket is unavailable.
 
+Either way, plain `px.send()` is one message per call; it does not batch. `px.send_batch()` sends one list as one message, and `px.batch()` groups a fast stream for you in the background.

+**On the Free plan** the gateway refuses the device WebSocket (`streaming_requires_plan`). The SDK falls back to HTTP by itself, so `send()`, `send_batch()`, `batch()` and `event()` all still work. Live streaming and video need a paid plan. Free also caps you at 3 devices and 7 days of history.
