 - The same is possible for the event reporting service (PUS5)
 - PUS Health Service added, which allows to command and retrieve health via PUS packets

+### EnhancedControllerBase
+
+- New base class for a controller which also implements HasActionsIF and HasLocalDataPoolIF
+
 ### Local Pool
 
 - Interface of LocalPools has changed. LocalPool is not a template anymore. Instead the size and bucket number of the pools per page and the number of pages are passed to the ctor instead of two ctor arguments and a template parameter
