KSerial v1.0.8

1. Fixed port is continuously reconnection if there is nothing to read from serial port!

KSerial v1.0.7

1. Fixed port is continuously reconnection if there is nothing to read from serial port!

KSerial v1.0.6

Auto-Reconnection:

Added automatic reconnection with a configurable retry delay. This ensures the connection is re-established if lost, enhancing reliability in unstable environments.
Connection Status Flow:

Integrated StateFlow to broadcast real-time connection status, enabling subscribers to react to changes in connection.
Concurrency Safety:

Incorporated a Mutex (named communication) to ensure thread-safe access during read and write operations, protecting against concurrency issues.
Failure Handling & Retry Logic:

Introduced a configurable maxFailureCount to automatically disconnect after a series of consecutive failures, preventing potential deadlocks.
Added a responseFailureCounter to track failures, with an automatic reset upon successful operation.
Improved error handling by disconnecting and resetting the connection if the maximum failure threshold is reached.
Enhanced Logging:

Expanded logging to provide detailed information about connection status, data transmission, and errors, aiding in debugging and traceability.
Builder Pattern:

Implemented a Builder pattern for flexible instance creation, allowing configuration of parameters like baudRate, dataBits, stopBits, parity, retryDelay, readDelay, and maxFailureCount.
Helper Method for Port Discovery:

Added a getPorts() method in a companion object to list all available serial ports, simplifying the process of selecting a port.
Connection Verification:

Added an ensureConnected() method that verifies and re-establishes the connection before every read/write operation to prevent attempts on a disconnected port.
Documentation and Comments:

Added detailed comments and documentation throughout the code, enhancing readability, maintainability, and usability.
