+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+## 2026.08.17 (API 04.00)
+
+### Added
+- `max_device_time_skew`: device/host clock skew (s) tolerated before setting the device clock on open (`None`=never).
+- `receive_own_messages`: receive the messages transmitted by the bus itself (default `False`).
+
+### Changed
+- Supported device API version changed from `03.00` to `04.00`.
+- The device hostname is now resolved only once on bus open, reducing connection time.
+- `data_bitrate` is now optional. When omitted, transmissions of FD frames are rejected.
+- Updated shutdown sequence (using `DELETE` on the websocket resource after `shutdown_timeout` timeout).
+
+### Removed
+- `server_cert`: the server certificate is now always verified against the built-in CANsub root certificate.
+  When connecting via an IP address, certificate hostname verification is automatically disabled
+  (certificate chain verification remains active).
+
+## 2026.07.02 (API 03.00)
+
+### Added
+- `server_cert`: path to the server certificate (`.crt` file).
+- `client_cert`: tuple of paths to the client certificate and key (`.crt`, `.key`), used for TLS mutual authentication.
+- Warning when devices with unsupported API versions are found.
+
+### Changed
+- Supported device API version changed from `02.00` to `03.00`.
+
+## 2026.06.02 (API 02.00)
+
+### Added
+- `CANSUB_ROOT_CERT`: path to the CANsub root certificate.
+
+### Changed
+- Transmit sequences (on the device) are deleted on bus open.
+
+## 2026.06.01 (API 02.00)
+
+### Fixed
+- `CyclicSendTask` with `duration=None` now working.

-### Opening a Bus
-
-> **Note:** `data_bitrate` is required even on a classic (non-FD) bus. On a non-FD bus, simply set it to e.g. `1_000_000` (1 Mbit/s).
+> **Note:** mDNS discovery relies on inbound UDP port 5353. If a host firewall blocks it, no devices are detected (a fixed configuration still works).
 
-> **Tip:** Pass `listen_only=True` to `can.Bus` to monitor a bus without transmitting or acknowledging frames.
+### Opening a Bus
 
-> **Tip:** Pass `error_frames=True` to `can.Bus` to receive error frames.
+The python-can-cansub constructor implements the required arguments for can.Bus and adds custom arguments specific to python-can-cansub. See the python-can-cansub constructor docstring for additional information.
 
-#### Single bus - hardcoded
+A bus is opened by passing a configuration to `can.Bus`:
 
 ```python
 with can.Bus(interface="cansub", channel="aabbccdd-usb.local@1", bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
     pass
 ```
 
-#### Single bus - from configs
+`**config` unpacks a config dict directly into `can.Bus` keyword arguments - convenient with auto-detected configs, and for opening multiple buses:
 
 ```python
-with can.Bus(interface=configs[0]["interface"], channel=configs[0]["channel"], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
+with (can.Bus(**configs[0], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus1,
+      can.Bus(**configs[1], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus2):
     pass
 ```
 
-#### Multiple buses - from configs
+### Bit Timing
+
+`bitrate` and `data_bitrate` configure the bus with a fixed sample point of 80%. For full control of the bit timing (sample point, SJW), pass a `can.BitTiming` (classic CAN) or `can.BitTimingFd` (CAN FD) as `timing` instead. The CANsub CAN clock is 80 MHz:
 
 ```python
-with (can.Bus(interface=configs[0]["interface"], channel=configs[0]["channel"], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus1,
-      can.Bus(interface=configs[1]["interface"], channel=configs[1]["channel"], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus2):

 ### TLS / Certificates
 
-The data connection to the device is secured by TLS. When connecting via an IP address (where hostname verification will fail), `server_cert=None` can be used to disable certificate validation:
-
-```python
-with can.Bus(interface="cansub", channel="192.168.1.10@1", server_cert=None, bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
-    pass
-```
+The data connection to the device is secured by TLS, with the device certificate verified against the built-in CANsub root certificate. When connecting via an IP address (which carries no name to verify the certificate hostname against), hostname verification is automatically disabled - the certificate chain is still verified.
 
-If TLS mutual authentication is enabled, `client_cert` can be used to provide a tuple of paths to the client certificate (`.crt` file) and its unencrypted private key (`.key` file), i.e. `("cert", "key")`:

 ### Error Frames
 
 Error frame reporting is disabled by default; enable it by passing `error_frames=True` to `can.Bus`. Bus errors are then received as a `can.Message` with `is_error_frame` set. The error type is encoded in `arbitration_id`, which can be converted to a `CanSubErrorFrameType` enum:

 ```
 
+### Bus State
+
+`bus.state` queries the current channel state: `can.BusState.ACTIVE` (error-active or error-warning), `can.BusState.PASSIVE` (error-passive), or `can.BusState.ERROR` (bus-off). Reading the state of a stopped channel (e.g. after a connection loss) or of a closed bus raises `can.exceptions.CanOperationError`:

 ### Filters
 
 Apply hardware filters by passing `can_filters` to `can.Bus`. Each filter specifies a `can_id`, a `can_mask`, and whether to match standard (`extended=False`) or extended (`extended=True`) frames. A frame passes if `(frame_id & can_mask) == (can_id & can_mask)`.

+### Receive and Transmit
+
+A bus receives the messages transmitted by the other nodes on the CAN bus. Messages transmitted by the bus itself are not received, unless the bus is opened with `receive_own_messages=True`.
+
+```python
+with can.Bus(**configs[0], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
+
+    # Transmit
+    msg_tx = can.Message(is_extended_id=False, arbitration_id=0x123, data=[0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04])
+    bus.send(msg_tx)
+
+    # Receive with timeout
+    msg_rx = bus.recv(timeout=1.0)
+    print(msg_rx)
+```
+
+#### CAN FD
+
+CAN FD frames are transmitted by setting `is_fd` (and typically `bitrate_switch`, which switches to `data_bitrate` for the payload). FD payloads can be up to 64 bytes. Transmitting an FD frame requires the bus to be opened with a `data_bitrate` (or an FD bit timing); on a classic CAN bus, FD transmission raises `can.exceptions.CanOperationError`:
+
+```python
+with can.Bus(**configs[0], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
+    msg_fd = can.Message(is_extended_id=False, arbitration_id=0x123,
+                         is_fd=True, bitrate_switch=True, data=bytes(range(64)))
+    bus.send(msg_fd)
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Operations on a failed bus raise `can.exceptions.CanOperationError`: `send()` and `recv()` raise it once the connection to the device is lost (detected within seconds, also on an idle bus). `send()` additionally raises `can.exceptions.CanTimeoutError` when the transmit queue stays full for the full timeout (back-pressure from a slow or blocked CAN bus). Failures to open a bus raise `can.exceptions.CanInitializationError`.
+
+A failed bus does not recover, and the package does not reconnect automatically. To recover from a connection loss, close the failed bus and open a new one:
+
+```python
+try:
+    msg = bus.recv(timeout=1.0)
+except can.CanOperationError:
+    # Connection lost: the bus cannot recover - close it and open a new one
+    bus.shutdown()
+    bus = can.Bus(**configs[0], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000)
+```
+
+### Closing a Bus
+
+Closing a bus (leaving the `with` block, or calling `bus.shutdown()`) waits up to `shutdown_timeout` seconds for the queued messages to be transmitted before asking the device to discard them (see the *Opening a Bus*).
+
+Messages received up to (and during) the close remain retrievable with `recv()` after the bus is closed - drain until `None`:
+
+```python
+with can.Bus(**configs[0], bitrate=250_000, data_bitrate=1_000_000) as bus:
+    bus.send(can.Message(is_extended_id=False, arbitration_id=0x123, data=[0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04]))
+
+# The bus is closed (all queued messages transmitted)
+```
+
+> **Tip:** When two buses are connected to the same physical CAN bus (e.g. a transmitter and a receiver), close the transmitting bus first - closing it waits for the queued messages to be transmitted, which requires the other (acknowledging) bus to still be open.
+
+> **Tip:** A `can.Notifier` stops dispatching the moment it is stopped - received messages not yet dispatched are discarded (python-can behavior). Stop the notifier only once the traffic has settled, or read the messages with `recv()` instead.
+
 ### Notifier and Listeners
 
 `bus.recv()` blocks until a frame arrives. A `can.Notifier` runs a background thread that dispatches received frames to one or more *listeners*, allowing the main program to continue other work.
