BSEC 2.2.0

[kmca]

The increment from BSEC_2.0.6.1_Generic_Release_corrected_05092022 to BSEC_2.2.0.0_Generic_Release_30052022 is a breaking release with no release notes on what's changed and how we are expected to move forward.  To make things worse having signed up to the bsec library the link provided is only for the latest BSEC_2.2.0.0, how can people access the earlier versions like BSEC_2.0.6.1.

So what's changed is bsec_datatypes.h:

-   BSEC_SAMPLE_RATE_HIGH_PERFORMANCE has been renamed to BSEC_SAMPLE_RATE_SCAN.

-  BSEC_OUTPUT_COMPENSATED_GAS is a virtual sensor, and this has been removed, which is a problem if your code has an array of virtual sensors and one is now a black hole.

I am sure that these are more issues but I'd rather not keep stumbling about, and would like to have a release note that explains changes. And if you are making breaking changes please keep the previous version available.

I do realise there are brief release notes packaged in with the distribution, and what I mean is they do have any detail on what has changed or been broken. To find out about the removal of BSEC_OUTPUT_COMPENSATED_GAS I had to compare Table 1.2.4 in the integration guides for 2.2.0.0 and 2.0.6.1.
See below.

Hi kmca,

I would suggest keeping the new version and the old version at the location of the download connection. Users can choose different versions to download and use.
