The most noteworthy change in this release is the work undertaken by @starkillerOG to improve the support for Xiaomi gateway devices. See the PR description for more details at #700 .
For downstream developers, this release adds two new exceptions to allow better control in situations where the response payloads from the device are something unexpected. This is useful for gracefully fallbacks when automatic device type discovery fails.
P.S. There is now a matrix room (https://matrix.to/#/#python-miio-chat:matrix.org) so feel free to hop in for any reason.
