 can read from one or more Modbus TCP gateways (e.g. the Waveshare RS485 to Ethernet) simultaneously. The state of the coils can be published as a json message and their 
 state can also be changed with a json message sent to the rpc topic.
 
+## Changes from the upstream version
+1) Read input register
+2) Basic support of big and little endian registers
+3) Read multi-byte value in big and little endian order
+4) Fix the default value of length to 1 ( as in the readme)

 ## Configuration
 
 Create a configuration file (see examples/). Here is the basic syntax:
