v0.44.10

This release simplifies S7 addressing and fixes three edge cases in the Management Console editor and S7 data type handling.

Improvements

• Previously, S7 addresses for PE, PA, MK, C, and T areas required a block number that served no function. You can now write PE.X0.0 instead of PE0.X0.0. The old format still works but logs a deprecation warning and will be removed in a future version. Data Block addresses (DB1.DW20) are unchanged

Fixes

• The S7 DateAndTime data type crashed due to an incorrect buffer size and now reads correctly
• Fields with children that already have default values were incorrectly marked as required when editing bridge configurations -- they are now correctly treated as optional
• Fields marked as deprecated in bridge plugin definitions were not flagged in the Management Console editor -- they now correctly appear as deprecated

Preview: FSMv2 Communicator

• Status updates and incoming commands now use independent connections, so a connection dropped by an enterprise proxy or firewall no longer prevents the instance from sending heartbeats. Requires USE_FSMV2_TRANSPORT=true
