 # Branch Android SDK change log
+
+- v5.1.0
+  * _*Master Release*_ - Feb 9, 2022
+  * Added BranchPluginSupport class with deviceDescription() method. Will be used by the AdobeBranchExtension to pass device data.
+  * Resolves timeout and non-initialization issues introducing a connect timeout, and retrying init requests.
+    * Possible behavior change is with the increased timeout, any operations awaiting these requests may see longer timeouts.
+    * To set the timeouts:
+      * `public void setConnectTimeout(int connectTimeout)`
+      * `public void setTimeout(int timeout)`
+      * Time is in milliseconds

 POM_DESCRIPTION=Use the Branch SDK (branch.io) to create and power the links that point back to your apps for all of these things and more. Branch makes it incredibly simple to create powerful deep links that can pass data across app install and open while handling all edge cases (using on desktop vs. mobile vs. already having the app installed, etc). Best of all, it is really simple to start using the links for your own app: only 2 lines of code to register the deep link router and one more line of code to create the links with custom data.
