Hi Lukas,
I think this information is a little too much for the typical Announce email.
This is usually aimed at consumers of project artifacts and they don't really care about the
internals.
I can add a notice that if someone is interested on this topic to check our documentation
or contact us on our list.
I did however notice I should add a notice on the changed connection-string and sometimes
address string syntax ... should mention that.

Somewhat I am missing a little bit linkage to mspec-format ("the how we
create generated drivers" -> We established the mspec-format as the basis
for generating drivers more can be found here:
https://plc4x.apache.org/developers/code-gen/protocol/mspec.html .
This enables developers to easily develop new drivers.)
Additionally off-topic remark: for me personally -> what is needed to
transfer the driver generation to other languages (basically what are the
steps you are currently working on for the C language and what steps are
needed to to bring other language like Python there?
(e.g. Step 1: Definition of API, Step 2: Definition of , ...)
Thanks Chris for the effort :) + Good job PLC4X Team it is an awesome
journey so far.
Regards,
Lukas
