-Thank you for considering contributing to this project. This library is one tiny way I am giving back to the open source community, and I am
-always amazed and humbled when users contribute back. 
-
-There are several ways of contributing to this small open source library:
-
-* You can ask for help
-* You can log a bug
-* You can contribute code
-
-# Ask for help
-If you experience a problem using the mikrotik-java library, the best way to get in touch with me is to either send me an
-email or open an issue on GitHub. While you can seek help on StackOverflow or the Mikrotik Forums (both of which I've seen 
-people do), I do not read those sites often. If you wish to log your question there (it makes sense for it to be searchable or 
-in a place where other interested people can find it) and want me to take a look at it, please send me an email pointing to 
-the question. 
-
-I find that it is very easy to help users of this library if they include the following things which are usually quite relevant:
-
-* A snipped of sample code showing what they're doing 
-* The stack trace (if there is one) when it goes wrong
-* Version of the library they're using
-
-# Log a bug 
-If you are pretty sure you have found a bug in the library, please log a bug by opening an issue on GithHub. When things get buggy, 
-the following information (mostly the same as for asking help) becomes important:
-
-* A snipped of sample code showing what they're doing 
-* The stack trace (if there is one) when it goes wrong
-* Version of the library they're using
-* The version of RouterOS they're connecting to
-
-I take bug reports very seriously, and will usually bring out immediate minor versions to fix show stoppers. 
-
-# Contribute code 
-If you want to contribute code to this library, you're welcome. Please read this section before submitting pull requests.
-
-## If you're fixing a bug
-If you've fixed a bug, please submit the pull request on GitHub. If there is an already existing issue being fixed, please 
-reference that issue so I can look at what you're fixing, and if not, please explain the issue you're fixing in the pull request. 
-
-## If you want new functionality or API changes
-Please contact me via email before you create a pull request for feature additions or API changes. The mikrotik-java library is stable and,
-for it's current purpose, feature complete. The situations in which I will add features to the library or change it's interface are:
-* If Mikrotik adds new RouterOS functionality that requires an API change to remain feature complete
-* If some very bad design flaw in the interface is discovered
-* If somebody has a truly compelling reason for adding to the library. To be compelling means the added functionality must be useful 
-for more users than just the submitter
-* If some new pattern or convention arises in the Java standard libraries that is useful 
-
-I *really* hate declining people's PRs, but I will do so if I don't think they add value as explained above, or if I can't figure out why
-they want the change. For this reason, if you are at all unsure if your PR will be accepted, please contact me and discuss what you want 
-before submitting a PR.

+mikrotik-java
+=============
 
 A Java client library implementation for the Mikrotik RouterOS API. 
 
 This project provides a Java client to manipulate Mikrotik routers using the remote API. Simple things must be easy to do, and complex things must be possible.
 
-## Versions
+Versions
+--------
 
-![Java CI with Maven](https://github.com/GideonLeGrange/mikrotik-java/workflows/Java%20CI%20with%20Maven/badge.svg)
+The current stable version is 2.0.0. This version is not backwards compatible with version 1.x. 
 
-**The current stable version is 3.0.8**
+* Changed ResultListener to receive errors and completion notifications. 
 
-Version 3.0.8 fixes a null pointer error 
+Previous versions:
 
-### Changes in version 3.0:
+* 1.1.5 fixed even more comamnd line parsing bugs.
+* 1.1.4 fixed command line parsing bugs #7 and #8.
+* 1.1.3 fixed severe command line parsing bugs, #3, #4 and #5.
+* 1.1.2 added support for handling multi-line results, like for example /file print. 
+* 1.1 added TLS (SSL) support to encrypt API traffic. 
 
-Version 3.0 addresses the problems the API had around TLS encryption. The way secure connections are implemented is changed so that the user has complete control over the creation of TLS sockets. To this end:
-* A new method, `connect(SocketFactory fact, String host, int port, int timeout)`, was added to allow for better user control over sockets and especially encryption.
-* The `connectTLS()` API methods were removed. 
-* Most of the overloaded `connect()` methods were removed. 
-* Added a pre-built `jar` file to the downloads.
+The latest development version is 2.0.0 which is available using the 2.0.0 branch. 
 
-Further changes include:
-* The previously deprecated `disconnect()` method is removed. 
 
-#### Versions 1.x and 2.x
+Getting the API
+---------------
 
-Versions 1 and 2 are considered *obsolete* and will no longer be supported or patched. 
+You can clone or fork the repository. Alternatively, you can get the jar from Maven Central.
 
-## Getting the API
 
-Maven users can use the artifact from Maven Central with this dependency:
+Examples
+========
 
-```xml
-<dependency>
-  <groupId>me.legrange</groupId>
-  <artifactId>mikrotik</artifactId>
-  <version>3.0.8</version>
-</dependency>
-```
-
-You can also download the pre-built jar file, or a zip or tar.gz file with the source for the latest release [here](https://github.com/GideonLeGrange/mikrotik-java/releases/latest)
-
-## Asking for help or contributing
-
-I welcome contributions, be it bug fixes or other improvements. 
-
-Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how to contribute to this project.
-
-# Using the API
-
-How to use the API is best illustrated by examples. 
-
-These examples should illustrate how to use this library. Please note that I assume that the user is proficient in Java and understands the Mikrotik command line syntax. The command line syntax gives you an indication of what commands you can pass, but the RouterOS API used by this library does not support everyting. 
-
-Some things to consider when debugging your API calls are:
-* The RouterOS API does not support auto-completion. You need to write out command and parameter names. For example, you can't say `/ip/hotspot/user/add name=john add=10.0.0.1`, you need to write out `address`.
-* You need to quote values with spaces in. You can't say `name=Joe Blogs`, you need to use `name="Joe Blogs"`
-* Exceptions with a root cause of `ApiCommandException` are errors received from the remote RouterOS device and contain the error message received. 
-
-## Opening a connection
 Here is a simple example: Connect to a router and reboot it. 
 
 ```java
 ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect("10.0.1.1"); // connect to router
 con.login("admin","password"); // log in to router
 con.execute("/system/reboot"); // execute a command
-con.close(); // disconnect from router
+con.disconnect(); // disconnect from router
 ```
-The above example shows a easy way of creating an unencrypted connection using the default API port and timeout, which is useful for development and testing.
-
-### TLS encryption
-
-For production environments, encrypting API traffic is recommended. To do this you need to open a TLS connection to the router by passing an instance of the `SocketFactory` you wish to use to construct the TLS socket to the API:
+If your router does not use the default API port, the port can be specified when connecting: 
 
 ```java 
-ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault(), "10.0.1.1", ApiConnection.DEFAULT_TLS_PORT, ApiConnection.DEFAULT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT);
+ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect("10.0.1.1", 1337); // connect to router on port 1337
 ```
 
-Above an instance of the default SSL socket factory is passed to the API. This will work as long as the router's certificate has been added to the local key store.  Besides allowing the user to specify the socket factory, the above method also gives full control over the TCP Port and connection timeout. 
-
-RouterOS also supports anonymous TLS. An example showing how to create a socket factory for anonymous TLS is `AnonymousSocketFactory` in the examples directory.
-
-### Connection timeouts
-
-By default, the API will generate an exception if it cannot connect to the specified router. This can take place immediately (typically if the OS returns a 'Connection refused' error), but can also take up to 60 seconds if the router host is firewalled or if there are other network problems. This 60 seconds is the 'default connection timeout' an can be overridded by passing the preferred timeout to the APi as last parameter in a ```connect()``` call. For example:
+To open an encrypted (TLS) connection is as simple, assuming the default API-SSL port is used:
 
 ```java
-   ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault(), "10.0.1.1", ApiConnection.DEFAULT_TLS_PORT, 2000); // connect to router on the default API port and fail in 2 seconds
+ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connectTLS("10.0.1.1"); // connect to router using TLS
 ```
 
-### Constants
-Some constants are provided in `ApiConnection` to make it easier for users to construct connections with default ports and timeouts:
+#### Notes about TLS: 
+* Currently only anonymous TLS is supported, not certificates. 
+* There is a compatibility problem between the current versions of RouterOS supporting API over TLS and the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) in Java 7 and earlier. TLS encryption works in Java 8 and later. For more information, feel free to contact me. 
 
-Constant | Use for | Value 
----------|---------|------
-DEFAULT_PORT | Default TCP `port` value for unencrypyted connections | 8728
-DEFAULT_TLS_PORT | Default TCP `port` value for encrypyted connections | 8729
-DEFAULT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT | Default connection `timeout` value (ms) | 60000
 
-### Try with resources 
 
-The API can also be used in a "try with resources" statement which will ensure that the connection is closed:
+In following examples the connection, login and disconnection code will not be repeated. 
 
-```java
-        try (ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect(SocketFactory.getDefault(), Config.HOST, ApiConnection.DEFAULT_PORT, 2000)) {
-            con.login(Config.USERNAME, Config.PASSWORD);
-            con.execute("/user/add name=eric");
-        }
-```
+Reading data 
+------------
 
-In following examples the connection, login and disconnection code will not be repeated. In all cases it is assumed that an `ApiConnection` has been established, `login()` has been called, and that the connection is called `con`.

-### Un-setting a variable on an object 
-
-Un-setting a variable is a bit different, and you need to use a parameter called `value-name`. This isn't well documented. Let's say you have a firewall rule that was set up like this:
-
-```java
-con.execute("/ip/firewall/filter/add action=accept chain=forward time=00:00:01-01,mon")
-```
-Assuming the rule can be accessed as `.id=*1`, you un-set it by using `value-name` as seen below:

-con.execute("/ip/firewall/filter/unset .id=*1 value-name=time");

+Asynchronous commands

-The `ResultListener` interface has three methods the user needs to implement:
-* `receive()` is called to receive results produced by the router from the API. 
-* `error()` is called when an exception is raised based on a 'trap' received from the router or another (typically connection) problem.
-* `completed()` is called when the router has indicated that the command has completed or has been cancelled. 
-
 The above command will run and send results asynchronously as they become available, until it is canceled. The command (identified by the unique String returned) is canceled like this:
 
 ```java
 con.cancel(tag);
 ```
 
-## Command timeouts
+From version 2.0.0 of the API the error() and completed() methods are part of the ResultListener interface. 
 
-Command timeouts can be used to make sure that synchronous commands either return or fail within a specific time. Command timeouts are separate from the connection timeout used in ```connect()```, and can be set using ```setTimeout()```. Here is an example:
-
-```java
-ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect("10.0.1.1"); // connect to router
-con.setTimeout(5000); // set command timeout to 5 seconds
-con.login("admin","password"); // log in to router
-con.execute("/system/reboot"); // execute a command
-``` 
- 	
-It is important to note that command timeouts can be set before ```login()``` is called, and can therefore influence the behaviour of login. 
-
-The default command timeout, if none is set by the user, is 60 seconds.
