### Added
- Log observation space data by episode and step.
- Added ability to set the observation threshold for NMNE, file access and application executions.
- Added `show_history` method to Agents, allowing you to view actions taken by an agent per step. By default, `do-nothing` actions are omitted.
- New ``node-send-local-command`` action implemented which grants agents the ability to execute commands locally. (Previously limited to remote only)
- Added ability to set the observation threshold for NMNE, file access and application executions
- New ``node-send-local-command`` action implemented which grants agents the ability to execute commands locally. (Previously limited to remote only)
- Added ability to set the observation threshold for NMNE, file access and application executions
- UC7 Scenario model changes including Threat Actor Profile, TAP001 and TAP003 agents plus config files and example notebooks.
- New how-to guides describing how to use the new extension system to customise actions, environments and rewards.
- Added version and plugin fields to YAML configs to ensure compatibility with future versions.
- Network Node Adder class provides a framework for adding nodes to a network in a standardised way.
### Changed
- ACLs are no longer applied to layer-2 traffic.
- Random number seed values are recorded in simulation/seed.log if the seed is set in the config file
or `generate_seed_value` is set to `true`.
- ARP .show() method will now include the port number associated with each entry.
- The behaviour that services, applications, files and folders require scanning before their observations are updated is now optional.
- Updated the `Terminal` class to provide response information when sending remote command execution.
- Agents now follow a common configuration format, simplifying the configuration of agents and their extensibilty.
- Actions within PrimAITE are now extensible, allowing for plugin support.
- Added a config schema to `ObservationManager`, `ActionManager`, and `RewardFunction`.

- Action parameters are no longer defined through IDs, instead meaningful data is provided directly in the action map
- Test and example YAMLs have been updated to match the new agent and action schemas, such as:
- Removed empty action spaces, observation spaces, or reward spaces for agent which didn't use them
- Relabeled action parameters to match the new action config schemas, and updated the values to no longer rely on indices
- Relabelled action parameters to match the new action config schemas, and updated the values to no longer rely on indices
- Removed action space options which were previously used for assigning meaning to action space IDs
- Updated tests that don't use YAMLs to still use the new action and agent schemas
- Nodes now use a config schema and are extensible, allowing for plugin support.
- Node tests have been updated to use the new node config schemas when not using YAML files.
- Documentation has been updated to include details of extensability with PrimAITE.
- ACLs are no longer applied to layer-2 traffic.
- Random number seed values are recorded in simulation/seed.log if the seed is set in the config file
or `generate_seed_value` is set to `true`.
- ARP .show() method will now include the port number associated with each entry.
- Added `services_requires_scan` and `applications_requires_scan` to agent observation space config to allow the agents to be able to see actual health states of services and applications without requiring scans (Default `True`, set to `False` to allow agents to see actual health state without scanning).
- Updated the `Terminal` class to provide response information when sending remote command execution.
- Software is created in the GOOD health state instead of UNUSED.
- Standardised naming convention for YAML config files using kebab-case.
This naming convention is used for configuring software, observations, actions and node types.
NB: A migration guide will be available with this release.
### Fixed
- DNS client no longer fails to check its cache if a DNS server address is missing.
- DNS client now correctly inherits the node's DNS address configuration setting.
- ACL observations now include the ACL at index 0.
- SoftwareManager.show() correctly displays all the software associated with a port whether the software is listening or not.
