Bluetooth Framework 7.16.18.0 has been released
- new class wclGattLocalCharacteristicReadRequest: the class provides information about GATT server characteristic value read request and allows to respond to the request with data or with error code;
- new class wclGattLocalCharacteristicWriteRequest: the class provides information about GATT server characteristic value write request and allows to receive data provided by a GATT client and to respond to the request with processing result if Write With Response operation executed;
- wclGattLocalCharacteristicValue class removed;
- GATT server OnRead even changed: now it takes the wclGattLocalCharacteristicReadRequest object as a Request parameter that provides more information about read operation and allows to control request processing;
- GATT server OnRead even changed: the Value parameter removed;
- GATT server OnWrite even changed: now it takes the wclGattLocalCharacteristicWriteRequest object as a Request parameter that provides more information about write operation and allows to control request processing;

- New error code: WCL_E_BLUETOOTH_LE_GATT_SERVER_SEND_RESPONSE_FAILED;
- New error code: WCL_E_BLUETOOTH_LE_GATT_SERVER_WRITE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE;
- New error code: WCL_E_BLUETOOTH_LE_GATT_SERVER_RESPONSE_ALREADY_SENT.
These changes require some small modifications in your code: you need to change
GattServer OnRead and OnWrite event handlers. But these changes allows to control read and write operations.
Now it allows to correctly process Long Read as well as Long Write operations and, in case of Write With
Response, allows to check data and reply with error code if data is incorrect. New OnRead event
implementation allows to reject read operation if something is wrong, for example, if client does not passed
authentication or something like that.
GattServer demos were updated to show how to use these new features so before changing your code take a look
on those demos. The demos also includes one more readable characteristic and shows how to decide which one
was requested to read: one sends "short" data and other one sends "long" data.
The writable characteristic from the GattServer demos now includes "Writable Without Response" flag so you
can test long and short write operations as well as Write With and Write Without Response operations.
Also please do not forget that the library package now includes the errors.xml file that can be
used locally for error to test translation and can be shipped with your application if needed. Sample application that
show how to translate WCL error code to human readable text can be found by
this link.
