• Added: Subscriptions will now retry (when their request shouldRetry) when the HA config changes or components are loaded.
• Changed: HAConnectionInfo now has a throwing initializer. See HAConnectionInfo.CreationError for details.

• Added: Allow overriding User-Agent header in connection via HAConnectionInfo.
• Fixed: Host header now properly excludes port so we match URLSession behavior.
• Fixed: Services now load successfully for versions of HA Core prior to 2021.3 when name was added.

• Changed: HAGlobal's log block now contains a log level, either info or error.
• Fixed: Failed populate requests no longer crash when a later subscription is updated.
• Fixed: The error log from a failed HACache<T> populate now contains more information.
• Fixed: Dates from HA which lack milliseconds no longer fail to parse.

• Added: HACache<T> which can send requests and subscribe to events to keep its value up-to-date.
• Added HACachesContainer accessible as connection.caches which contains built-in caches.
• Added: connection.caches.states which contains and keeps up-to-date all entity states.
• Added: connection.caches.user which contains the current user.
• Added: Optional PromiseKit target/subspec.
• Added: Optional HAMockConnection target/subspec for use in test cases.
• Added: connectAutomatically parameter to connection creation. This will call connect() when requests are sent if not connected.
• Added: .getServices() typed request.
• Added: .getStates() typed request.
• Changed: Swapped to using the custom (not URLSession) engine in Starscream to try and figure out if URLSession is causing connectivity issues.
• Changed: attributes and context on HAEntity are now represented by parsed types.
• Changed: Many internal cases of JSON parsing and decoding are now done off the main thread.
• Changed: Events to unknown subscriptions (that is, a logic error in the library somewhere) no longer unsubscribe as this was sending erroneously during reconnects.
• Fixed: Calling connect() when already connected no longer disconnects and reconnects.
• Fixed: Calling cancel() on a subscription more than once or on a non-retried subscription sends multiple unsubscribe requests.
• Fixed: Disconnections silently occurred due to e.g. suspension; pings are now sent regularly to make sure the connection really is active.

Initial release. Still under heavy development.
