• Prevented the driver from immediately closing the socket connection when there is no client reference for a device. Instead, the driver will wait for the next Keep Alive before closing the socket.

• Fixed an issue where the driver would not refresh the TCP socket if either the IP Address or port was changed and the Connection Timeout setting was modified.

• Fixed an issue where the driver could stop receiving packets due a timeout.

• Fixed a threading issue that could cause a channel to stop communicating.

• Resolved an issue where the driver would not send a start command before reissuing the last command (on a retry attempt) if the socket was closed.

• Fixed an issue where the driver refreshed the TCP socket when the Connection Timeout setting was modified.

• Fixed an issue where the driver closed the TCP socket on the "WSAEWOULDBLOCK" error code, which is a Windows socket error code.

Fixed an issue where the driver continuously attempted to reconnect if a device responded with "Client Already Connected".

• Fixed an issue where the driver was not correctly updating or invalidating certain internal driver tags. This prevented the server from providing timely updates to AsynchIO2/AsynchIO3 read requests and prevented the driver from providing correct last tightening results due to invalid status of the LTR_NEWDATA bit.

• Added support for the Ford Ethernet Protocol (FEP) variation of Open Protocol. The driver now supports two models: Open Protocol and FEP.
• Resolved an issue where the driver could prematurely post device not responding messages when a client is initially connecting to the server.

• A new setting was added under the Device Properties page to set the error state when a device fails to respond to writes or subscription requests.
