+### Added

+- Get-Remote factory function to log in and return a base Remote instance without launching Voicemeeter
+- Command.Launch() method to launch Voicemeeter based on `$this.kind.name`, useful for re-launch after Command.Shutdown()
+- Remote.GetVoicemeeter($kindId) to confirm a connection to Voicemeeter and return the requested Remote instance
+- Remote.RunVoicemeeter($kindId) to launch Voicemeeter and return an appropriate Remote instance
+- Remote.RunApplication($appId) to launch VB-Audio applications
+- Remote.GetType(), Remote.GetVersion() to README

+## [4.2.0] - 2026-03-15
+
+### Added
+
+- New Remote methods for device enumeration:
+  - GetInputCount()
+  - GetOutputCount()
+  - GetInputDevice($index)
+  - GetOutputDevice($index)
+
+- New IODevice property `driver` to get the driver type of the current device (e.g. 'wdm', 'mme', etc.)
+
+- New IODevice methods to get, set, or clear the current device for a strip or bus:
+  - Get(): returns a PSObject with properties Driver, Name, HardwareId, and IsOutput
+  - Set($device): accepts a PSObject with properties Driver, Name, and IsOutput
+  - Clear()
