Content & Capabilities

The library supports multiple protocols each with its own set of features.

In order for you to easily determine whether a specific feature is present within the library, we have compiled the following list presenting common featured and not featured items.

All items are categorized into one out of three categories.

Supported  

Under Construction

Not Supported

Items marked as “Under Construction” will be available in the near future, but not necessarily within the next release.

An item marked as “Not Supported” does not imply, that it never will be. Although it will probably take some time, the goal is to eventually have only green dots listed on this page.
