Meshtastic Python 2.3.13

Important

The protobuf modules have moved in this release. While many imports of _pb2 modules directly from meshtastic will still work, they should in general be updated to use meshtastic.protobuf instead. If needing to support multiple versions of this library, consider wrapping the initial import from meshtastic.protobuf in a try block and then importing from plain meshtastic in an except ImportError block.

Additionally, this version of the library clarifies the licensing of the library and CLI to GPL3. There has been a bit of a confusing potentially-dual-license situation for a little while, but GPL3 is the plan going forward.

In better news, BLE connections should work better in this release due to a lot of work improving that code!

• make specifying an argument to --seriallog optional by @geeksville in #618

• Add bin/git-resolve-poetry-lock.sh to resolve merge conficts by @geeksville in #619
• Clarify licensing by @FedericoCeratto in #582
• Properly handle missing nodes in traceroute response by @ianmcorvidae in #621
• bleak reads can hang if a device walks out of range, cope with that. by @geeksville in #624
• Allow connection args without an argument, add argument aliases by @ianmcorvidae in #625
• Support --ble on older firmwares that don't have the log-radio characteristic yet by @ianmcorvidae in #626
• New LogRecord protobuf BLE logging by @thebentern in #627
