extending ExpiringCache with IsChanged [message #1770480]

Hi,
I'm using the ExpiringCache with some of my bindings.
I was wondering if there is anything against adding an IsChanged functionality to it.
This should be set if the new received value differs from the previous one.

In the binding I would use this to determine if any updates to the channels are required.

If nothing against it, I'll make a pr for such a functionality.

Bindings should not swallow any newly received states, but rather send updates, even if nothing has changed. Only in cases of a too high frequency (several per second) it is ok to suppress updates - but when using the cache, this anyhow won't be the case. So I do not really see the use case for such a functionality.

But not all communication / cached info is used for status updates.....

anyway, I do agree this will be mostly used for status updates. For the one exception I have right now, I'll make a specific check for a change on the data.
