Changelog

[4.3.1] - 2026-05-12

Added

  • Per-connection log_channel config key — Laravel channel name resolved lazily, no Facade needed in config files.
  • OpcuaManager::setLogger(LoggerInterface) runtime override (best-effort propagation to existing connections).
  • OpcuaManager::useConsoleLogger(OutputInterface, …, ?string $dateFormat = 'Y-m-d H:i:s.v') — Symfony ConsoleLogger wrapped with millisecond timestamp by default; pass dateFormat: null to disable.
  • OpcuaManager::getLogger().
  • Logging\TimestampedLogger — generic PSR-3 decorator that prepends a formatted timestamp.
  • OpcuaServiceProvider wires a log-manager → channel resolver into the manager.

Changed

  • OpcuaManager::__construct gained an optional ?\Closure $loggerResolver parameter (5th, default null, BC-safe).
  • Logger resolution priority: runtime override → config 'logger' → config 'log_channel' → default logger.
  • Bumped php-opcua/opcua-client ^4.2.0 → ^4.3.0 and php-opcua/opcua-session-manager ^4.2.0 → ^4.3.1. Notable downstream impact:
    • NodeManagementModule is back in the default module list — addNodes() / deleteNodes() / addReferences() / deleteReferences() reachable through Opcua::*. Servers without the service set raise ServiceUnsupportedException on first call (still a subclass of ServiceException, existing handlers keep matching).
    • Top-level ServiceFault now decodes to ServiceException instead of the misleading EncodingException: Buffer underflow.
    • Wire-format compliance fixes: RequestHeader.timestamp is a valid UtcTime, anonymous policyId discovered for all security modes, NodeManagement TypeIds reference DefaultBinary encoding, ECC sequence numbers per OPC UA 1.05.4. Servers stricter than UA-.NETStandard (open62541 etc.) are now reachable.
    • Cache codec breaking change — persistent caches must be flushed on upgrade. unserialize() removed from every cache code path; WireCacheCodec (JSON gated by allowlist) is the new default. Pre-v4.3 entries are silently discarded on first access. New ClientBuilder::setCacheCodec() is available if you need to override.
    • Daemon: --version flag, umask(0077) around bind closes the socket-permission race, NDJSON 64 KiB per-frame cap, IPv4-mapped IPv6 loopback handled, username no longer leaked via list, Windows path / URL redaction in error messages, conservative PID-check fallback.
    • Daemon: Unix-socket path length is now validated before bind — long paths get a clear DaemonException instead of a confusing chmod(): No such file or directory after silent kernel truncation.

Tests

  • +12 unit tests.

[4.2.0] - 2026-04-17

Changed

  • Bumped php-opcua/opcua-client from ^4.1.1 to ^4.2.0 and php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^4.1 to ^4.2.0. Picks up the Kernel + ServiceModule architecture, the Wire-serialization pipeline, the describe/invoke IPC commands that make third-party modules reachable through ManagedClient::__call(), and the cross-platform IPC transport (Unix socket on Linux/macOS, TCP loopback on Windows).
  • Relocated DTO imports in src/Facades/Opcua.php: BrowsePathResult, BrowseResultSet, CallResult, MonitoredItemModifyResult, MonitoredItemResult, PublishResult, SetTriggeringResult, SubscriptionResult, TransferResult now live in their module namespaces (PhpOpcua\Client\Module\*) rather than PhpOpcua\Client\Types\*. No behaviour change — only the fully-qualified class names moved.

Added

  • Cross-platform session manager out of the box. config/opcua.php → session_manager.socket_path now accepts:

    • unix://<path> (explicit Unix-domain socket)
    • tcp://127.0.0.1:<port> (loopback-only — non-loopback hosts are refused by TcpLoopbackTransport on the client and by SessionManagerDaemon on the daemon)
    • scheme-less path (interpreted as unix://<path>, backwards-compatible with pre-v4.2.0 configs)

    Default value is platform-aware: storage_path('app/opcua-session-manager.sock') on Linux/macOS, tcp://127.0.0.1:9990 on Windows. OpcuaManager::isSessionManagerRunning() and OpcuaManager::shouldUseSessionManager() now inspect the endpoint URI via TransportFactory::toUnixPath() — for Unix endpoints they keep the historical file_exists($socketPath) check; TCP endpoints can't be filesystem-probed, so presence is assumed (a missing daemon surfaces as a clear DaemonException on the first IPC call).

  • php artisan opcua:session-manager reflects the endpoint kind. The startup table shows "Endpoint" instead of "Socket", and the "Socket Mode" row is only printed for Unix-socket endpoints. mkdir -p for the parent directory is skipped for TCP endpoints.

Tests / CI

  • CI workflow aligned with opcua-client / opcua-session-manager: unit job cross-OS on ubuntu-latest / macos-latest / windows-latest × PHP 8.2–8.5 × Laravel 11/12/13 (with the existing exclusion matrix); integration job stays Ubuntu-only (Docker-hosted OPC UA servers) with needs: unit gating. [DOC] commits skip CI. codecov/codecov-action bumped from v5 to v6.
  • Unit tests (tests/Unit/) are fully cross-OS. Integration tests (tests/Integration/) remain Docker-dependent and run only in the integration job.
  • Full suite: 359 passing, 1 skipped, 0 failing on Linux.

[4.1.1] - 2026-04-13

Fixed

  • Cache serialization compatibility with Laravel 13. Bumped php-opcua/opcua-client to ^4.1.1 which fixes cachedFetch() storing raw PHP objects in the PSR-16 cache. Laravel 13 defaults to serializable_classes => false in config/cache.php, causing all cached OPC UA types (ReferenceDescription, NodeId, DataValue, etc.) to be restored as __PHP_Incomplete_Class on cache hit. The fix wraps cached values as safe strings so the cache backend is immune to allowed_classes restrictions. (#1, php-opcua/opcua-client#1)

Added

  • Integration test CacheSerializationTest verifying browse results survive a file cache roundtrip across connections and that cached values are plain strings immune to allowed_classes restrictions.

[4.1.0] - 2026-04-13

Added

  • ECC security policy support. security_policy config key now accepts ECC_nistP256, ECC_nistP384, ECC_brainpoolP256r1, and ECC_brainpoolP384r1 in addition to the existing 6 RSA policies. Added to resolveSecurityPolicyUri() in both OpcuaManager and SessionCommand. No client_certificate/client_key needed — ECC certificates are auto-generated when omitted. Username/password authentication uses the EccEncryptedSecret protocol automatically.
    • ECC disclaimer: No commercial OPC UA vendor supports ECC endpoints yet. This implementation is tested exclusively against the OPC Foundation's UA-.NETStandard reference stack.

Changed

  • Bumped minimum php-opcua/opcua-client dependency from ^4.0.0 to ^4.1 and php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^4.0.3 to ^4.1.
  • Security support expanded from 6 to 10 policies (6 RSA + 4 ECC).
  • Updated CI test server suite from php-opcua/[email protected] to @v1.1.0.
  • Updated config/opcua.php security policy comment to list all 10 available policies including ECC.
  • Updated documentation (README, doc/07-security.md, doc/09-examples.md, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, llms-skills.md) to reflect ECC support, add ECC .env examples, and include the ECC disclaimer.

[4.0.1] - 2026-04-09

Added

  • Auto-publish. New auto_publish config key in session_manager section. When enabled, the daemon automatically calls publish() for sessions with active subscriptions and dispatches PSR-14 events (DataChangeReceived, EventNotificationReceived, AlarmActivated, etc.) to Laravel's event system. No manual publish loop required — register listeners in your EventServiceProvider to handle notifications.
  • Per-connection auto-connect. New auto_connect config key per connection. When true (and auto_publish is enabled), the daemon auto-connects to the endpoint on startup and registers the subscriptions defined in the new subscriptions config key. Connections without auto_connect are managed imperatively as before.
  • Declarative subscription config. New subscriptions config key per connection. Define monitored_items and event_monitored_items directly in config/opcua.php — the daemon creates them automatically on startup. Each subscription supports publishing_interval, max_keep_alive_count, lifetime_count, priority, and per-item sampling_interval, queue_size, client_handle, select_fields.
  • Event dispatcher injection into daemon. SessionCommand resolves EventDispatcherInterface from the Laravel container and passes it to the daemon. All OPC UA client events (47 events) are dispatched through Laravel's event system when auto-publish is active.
  • SessionCommand::buildAutoConnectConfig() — reads connections with auto_connect: true and builds the daemon's auto-connect configuration.
  • SessionCommand::mapToDaemonConfig() — maps Laravel connection config keys (security_policy, timeout, client_certificate, etc.) to the daemon's internal format (securityPolicy, opcuaTimeout, clientCertPath, etc.).
  • SessionCommand::resolveEventDispatcher() — resolves EventDispatcherInterface from the Laravel container.
  • SessionCommand::resolveSecurityPolicyUri() and resolveSecurityModeValue() — helper methods for security config mapping.
  • New .env variable: OPCUA_AUTO_PUBLISH.
  • Auto-publish status displayed in the opcua:session startup table.
  • Auto-connect summary displayed before daemon startup when connections are configured.
  • Unit tests for buildAutoConnectConfig, mapToDaemonConfig, auto-publish flag passing, event dispatcher resolution, auto-connect filtering.
  • New documentation: Auto-Publish & Monitoring with real-world industrial use case.

Changed

  • Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^4.0.0 to ^4.0.3 (required for auto-publish and auto-connect support).
  • SessionCommand::createDaemon() now accepts ?EventDispatcherInterface $clientEventDispatcher and bool $autoPublish parameters.

[4.0.0] - 2026-04-7

Changed

  • BREAKING: Package rebranded from gianfriaur/opcua-laravel-client to php-opcua/laravel-opcua.
  • BREAKING: Namespace changed from Gianfriaur\OpcuaLaravel to PhpOpcua\LaravelOpcua.
  • BREAKING: Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-client from ^3.0.0 to ^4.0.0 (was gianfriaur/opcua-php-client).
  • BREAKING: Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^3.0.0 to ^4.0.0 (was gianfriaur/opcua-php-client-session-manager).
  • BREAKING: Direct mode now uses ClientBuilder → Client pattern. Configuration methods (setSecurityPolicy, setTimeout, setAutoRetry, setBatchSize, setDefaultBrowseMaxDepth, setLogger, setCache) moved from Client to ClientBuilder. All configuration is applied from config/opcua.php before connection. The connection() method for direct mode now returns a connected Client (auto-connects to the configured endpoint). The pattern of calling connection() then manually configuring and connecting is no longer supported for direct mode. Managed mode (via session manager daemon) is unchanged.
  • BREAKING: write() type parameter is now nullable: write(NodeId|string $nodeId, mixed $value, ?BuiltinType $type = null). Pass null (or omit) for automatic type detection.
  • BREAKING: read() has a new bool $refresh = false parameter for bypassing the read metadata cache.
  • BREAKING: OpcUaClientInterface no longer has setter methods (setLogger, setCache, setTimeout, etc.). These are now on ClientBuilderInterface for direct mode and remain on ManagedClient for managed mode.
  • BREAKING: ExtensionObject values are now returned as ExtensionObject readonly DTOs instead of array|object.
  • OpcuaManager internally split into configureBuilder() (for direct mode via ClientBuilderInterface) and configureManagedClient() (for managed mode via ManagedClient). The old configureClient() method has been removed.
  • Removed setter @method annotations from Facade (setLogger, setCache, setTimeout, setAutoRetry, setBatchSize, setDefaultBrowseMaxDepth) since they are no longer on OpcUaClientInterface.
  • Updated CI test server suite from php-opcua/[email protected] to php-opcua/[email protected].
  • Updated all documentation references: opcua-php-client to opcua-client, opcua-php-client-session-manager to opcua-session-manager, opcua-test-server-suite to uanetstandard-test-suite, opcua-laravel-client to laravel-opcua.
  • Added "Tested against the OPC UA reference implementation" disclaimer to README.
  • Added "Versioning" section to README.
  • Aligned Ecosystem table with opcua-client (added opcua-cli, opcua-client-nodeset).

Added

  • PSR-14 Event System. 47 granular events for connections, sessions, reads, writes, browses, subscriptions, alarms, retries, cache, and certificates. Configure via event_dispatcher in connection config or bind EventDispatcherInterface in the Laravel container.
  • Server Trust Store. New config keys trust_store_path, trust_policy (fingerprint, fingerprint+expiry, full), auto_accept, auto_accept_force per connection. For direct mode, creates a FileTrustStore. For managed mode, forwards via ManagedClient::setTrustStorePath().
  • Write type auto-detection. New auto_detect_write_type config key (default: true). When enabled, the write() method auto-detects the OPC UA type by reading node metadata, then caches the result.
  • Read metadata cache. New read_metadata_cache config key (default: false). Caches non-Value attribute reads (DisplayName, BrowseName, DataType, etc.) via PSR-16. The read($nodeId, refresh: true) parameter bypasses the cache.
  • modifyMonitoredItems(). Change sampling interval, queue size, or client handle on existing monitored items without recreation. Returns MonitoredItemModifyResult[].
  • setTriggering(). Configure triggering links between monitored items. Returns SetTriggeringResult with per-link status codes.
  • Certificate trust management via Facade. trustCertificate(string $certDer) and untrustCertificate(string $fingerprint) for programmatic trust store management.
  • Event dispatcher injection. OpcuaServiceProvider resolves EventDispatcherInterface from the Laravel container (if bound) and injects it into OpcuaManager.
  • New config keys per connection: trust_store_path, trust_policy, auto_accept, auto_accept_force, auto_detect_write_type, read_metadata_cache.
  • New .env variables: OPCUA_TRUST_STORE_PATH, OPCUA_TRUST_POLICY, OPCUA_AUTO_ACCEPT, OPCUA_AUTO_ACCEPT_FORCE, OPCUA_AUTO_DETECT_WRITE_TYPE, OPCUA_READ_METADATA_CACHE.
  • New Facade @method annotations: getEventDispatcher(), getTrustStore(), getTrustPolicy(), trustCertificate(), untrustCertificate(), modifyMonitoredItems(), setTriggering().
  • New exception types from dependencies: UntrustedCertificateException, WriteTypeDetectionException, WriteTypeMismatchException.
  • Added psr/event-dispatcher ^1.0 to dependencies.
  • Unit tests for configureBuilder (direct mode) and configureManagedClient (managed mode) covering all v4.0 config options: trust store, trust policy, auto-accept, auto-detect write type, read metadata cache, event dispatcher.
  • Unit tests for resolveTrustPolicy() helper.
  • Unit test for event dispatcher injection in OpcuaServiceProvider.
  • Config test for new v4.0 config keys.
  • AI-Ready documentation. Added llms-skills.md with 13 task-oriented recipes for AI coding assistants (install, read, write, browse, named connections, session manager, methods, subscriptions, history, security, testing, dependency injection, events). Designed to be fed to Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, and other AI tools so they can generate correct code for Laravel OPC UA integration.
  • Added AI-Ready section to README with instructions for integrating with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI tools.

[3.0.0] - 2026-03-23

Changed

  • BREAKING: Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^2.0.0 to ^3.0.0.
  • BREAKING: Service response methods now return typed DTOs instead of arrays:
    • createSubscription() → SubscriptionResult (access via ->subscriptionId, ->revisedPublishingInterval, etc.)
    • createMonitoredItems() → MonitoredItemResult[] (access via ->statusCode, ->monitoredItemId, etc.)
    • createEventMonitoredItem() → MonitoredItemResult
    • call() → CallResult (access via ->statusCode, ->outputArguments, etc.)
    • browseWithContinuation() / browseNext() → BrowseResultSet (access via ->references, ->continuationPoint)
    • publish() → PublishResult (access via ->subscriptionId, ->notifications, etc.)
    • translateBrowsePaths() → BrowsePathResult[] (access via ->statusCode, ->targets)
  • BREAKING: Browse methods nodeClassMask: int parameter changed to nodeClasses: NodeClass[]. Use [NodeClass::Object, NodeClass::Variable] instead of bitmask integers.
  • BREAKING: Named parameters renamed: readMulti($items) → readMulti($readItems), writeMulti($items) → writeMulti($writeItems), createMonitoredItems(..., $items) → createMonitoredItems(..., $monitoredItems).
  • BREAKING: Type classes now expose public readonly properties. Getter methods are deprecated: $ref->getNodeId() → $ref->nodeId, $dv->getStatusCode() → $dv->statusCode, $dv->getValue() (convenience method, unchanged), etc.
  • Session manager daemon now uses Laravel log channels and cache stores instead of custom log_file/cache_driver config keys.
  • OpcuaServiceProvider now injects Laravel's default PSR-3 logger and PSR-16 cache into OpcuaManager for automatic client configuration.

Added

  • String NodeId parameters everywhere. All methods accepting NodeId now also accept OPC UA string format: 'i=2259', 'ns=2;s=MyNode', 'ns=2;i=1001'.
  • Fluent Builder API. readMulti(), writeMulti(), createMonitoredItems(), translateBrowsePaths() return a fluent builder when called without arguments.
  • PSR-3 Logging. setLogger() and getLogger() exposed on client instances and via facade. Laravel's logger is injected by default.
  • PSR-16 Cache. setCache(), getCache(), invalidateCache(), flushCache() for browse result caching. Laravel's cache is injected by default.
  • Per-call cache control. useCache parameter on browse(), browseAll(), getEndpoints(), resolveNodeId().
  • Automatic DataType discovery. discoverDataTypes() discovers server-defined structured types and registers dynamic codecs.
  • Extension object repository. getExtensionObjectRepository() for custom structured type handling.
  • Subscription transfer. transferSubscriptions() and republish() for session recovery.
  • DataValue factory methods. DataValue::ofInt32(), DataValue::ofString(), etc. for convenient value creation.
  • MockClient for testing. Drop-in test double via MockClient::create() with call recording and handler registration.
  • Config keys log_channel and cache_store in session_manager section for daemon logging/caching via Laravel channels/stores.
  • Artisan command options --log-channel and --cache-store for php artisan opcua:session.
  • Updated Opcua facade PHPDoc with all new v3.0 method signatures including NodeClass[], BrowseResultSet, SubscriptionResult, CallResult, PublishResult, builder return types, and cache/logger methods.
  • Integration tests for string NodeId, builder API, cache operations, logger, and type discovery.

Removed

  • buildDaemonCache() and buildDaemonLogger() from OpcuaManager (daemon now uses Laravel's log channels and cache stores directly).
  • Config keys log_file, log_level, cache_driver, cache_path, cache_ttl (replaced by log_channel and cache_store).

[2.0.0] - 2026-03-20

Changed

  • BREAKING: Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-client from ^1.1.0 to ^2.0.0.
  • BREAKING: Updated dependency php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^1.1.0 to ^2.0.0.

  • Updated CI test server suite from php-opcua/[email protected] to php-opcua/[email protected].

Added

  • Timeout configuration. New timeout key in connection config (seconds). Also available via Opcua::setTimeout() fluent API. Default: 5.0.
  • Auto-retry configuration. New auto_retry key in connection config. Automatically reconnects and retries on ConnectionException. Also available via Opcua::setAutoRetry(). Default: 0 before connect, 1 after connect.
  • Automatic batching configuration. New batch_size key in connection config. When enabled, readMulti/writeMulti calls are transparently split into batches when exceeding server limits. Set to 0 to disable. Also available via Opcua::setBatchSize().
  • Browse max depth configuration. New browse_max_depth key in connection config. Controls default depth for browseRecursive(). Also available via Opcua::setDefaultBrowseMaxDepth(). Default: 10.
  • Connection state management. New methods exposed via facade: reconnect(), isConnected(), getConnectionState().
  • browseAll(). Browse with automatic continuation point handling — returns all references in one call.
  • browseRecursive(). Recursive tree traversal returning BrowseNode[] with configurable depth and cycle detection.
  • translateBrowsePaths(). OPC UA TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds service for batch path resolution.
  • resolveNodeId(). Human-readable path resolution (e.g. /Objects/Server/ServerStatus).
  • Server operation limits discovery. getServerMaxNodesPerRead() and getServerMaxNodesPerWrite() expose discovered limits.
  • historyReadProcessed() and historyReadAtTime() methods exposed via facade.
  • Updated Opcua facade PHPDoc with all new v2.0 method signatures for IDE autocompletion.
  • New config/opcua.php keys: timeout, auto_retry, batch_size, browse_max_depth per connection.
  • OpcuaManager::configureClient() applies new v2.0 settings (timeout, auto-retry, batching, browse depth) to client instances.
  • Unit tests for configureClient v2.0 options (timeout, auto_retry, batch_size, browse_max_depth) — all null/non-null paths.
  • Integration tests: ConnectionStateTest, TimeoutTest, AutoRetryTest, BatchingTest, BrowseRecursiveTest, TranslateBrowsePathTest, HistoryReadAdvancedTest.

[1.1.0] - 2026-03-18

Changed

  • Updated dependencies php-opcua/opcua-client and php-opcua/opcua-session-manager from ^1.0.1 to ^1.1.0.

Added

  • Auto-generated client certificate support. When a connection is configured with a security_policy and security_mode but without client_certificate/client_key, the underlying client automatically generates an in-memory self-signed certificate. The behaviour is fully transparent — no changes to the config file or application code are required.
  • Config comment on client_certificate/client_key keys documenting the auto-generation fallback.
  • Unit tests (configureClient certificate behavior) covering: no call to setClientCertificate when cert is absent, no call when only one of cert/key is provided, correct call when both are present, and correct forwarding of the optional ca_certificate.
  • Integration tests for connecting with Basic256Sha256/SignAndEncrypt and no explicit client certificate, in both direct mode and managed (session manager daemon) mode.

[1.0.1] - 2026-03-16

Added

  • Initial release. Laravel service provider, facade, OpcuaManager (multi-connection, session-manager auto-detection), and opcua:session Artisan command.
