| 3.2 | Only enable or disable sensors on HomeAssistant when the background service options is changed, i.e. do not call the API to enable on start up every time. |
| 3.3 | Providing automatic detection for menu definition updates, but still requires an application restart. |
| 3.4 | Fixed a bug where templates failed to display in toggle menu items (at least on some devices). Fixed a bug where a menu item requesting to exit on completion appeared to indicate failure when using Wi-Fi or LTE. The fix uses a delay in exiting the application modelled as sufficient for a Venu 2 device, so this might need tweaking for other devices. Attempt to fixed an "Out of Memory" bug caused by v3.3 by making automatic checking for menu updates both optional and automatically turned off when insufficient memory is available. This last bug is device dependent and may require another attempt. Internationalisation improvements with thanks to @krzys_h for a new automated translations script. |
| 3.5 | Added support for Edge 550, 850 & MTB, Fenix 8 Pro 47mm, GPSMAP H1, Instinct Crossover AMOLED, Venu 4 41mm & 45mm, & Venu X1 devices which also required an SDK update to 8.3.0. |
| 3.5 | Added support for Edge 550, 850 & MTB, Fenix 8 Pro 47mm, GPSMAP H1, Instinct Crossover AMOLED, Venu 4 41mm & 45mm, & Venu X1 devices which also required an SDK update to 8.3.0. The simulation of the Edge 850 device was off, as it failed to update the display and text was the wrong colour, but the buttons menu items operated HA correctly. The assumption is the simulation model is buggy until someone [reports](https://github.com/house-of-abbey/GarminHomeAssistant/issues) otherwise. |

5. Parameters to tap menu items cannot have their parameter usage verified. If you get this wrong and crash the application, that's your fault not the application's. In this case, start by removing the parameters for the menu item causing the crash, and add them back one at a time until you find your fault. **Please don't give the application a poor review for your bad parameter definition!**
6. We are unable to support Edge 540, Edge 840 and Edge 1050 devices at this time. The simulation of these devices has two unexpected errors when toggling or executing taps. We get both `Communications.NETWORK_RESPONSE_OUT_OF_MEMORY` and `Communications.BLE_QUEUE_FULL` even though the memory usage is about 6% of the available RAM. Based on a lead from user @Petucky, both devices are being re-enabled as testing on a real Edge 840 device has proven successful, however we remain unable to support either devices until the simulator is fixed.

The Edge 850 device has different display update issues but is functional. Again the assumption is the simulation model is buggy. Please [report](https://github.com/house-of-abbey/GarminHomeAssistant/issues) your experience on real devices to us so we can withdraw support or confirm they are working.
7. We are unable to support HTTP natively (without the workaround specified earlier). This is a limitation placed upon us by the Connect IQ API which for security reasons refuses to work with HTTP requests. There is nothing developers can do about this limitation. See the [Trouble Shooting](TroubleShooting.md#do-it-yourself-setup) guide for an example setup. We would appreciate it if users did not leave poor reviews for the lack of this feature which is beyond our control to fix.
