In the release notes, I see:
Changes from 2.3.9.197
- Added compatible devices link to the home page.
Given the length of the list of devices, the similarly of device names, and the rapid changes to the list, it would be tremendously helpful if the list was structured data, with fields:
- device name (as report by the device during discovery, not the name on the sales brochure)
- common name (optional)
- compatible as of HE version number
- deprecated as of HE version number (optional)
- community driver name (optional, for devices without built-in HE support)
- notes (optional)
This could be csv, json, xml, etc.
Future downloads of HE releases could embed this data, enabling notification to users at the time of new device additions without requiring web acess or sending the list of devices to the cloud.
The HE upgrade process could begin by downloading the version of the device list corresponding to the devices compatible with the target of the platform upgrade.
This would let the update process notify the user of any existing devices that would be deprecated due to the upgrade and allowing for cancelation.
