This means existing frontends should not require any +changes. However, individual PDs and their output changed, which may +require some adaptations on the user's side in some cases. + + * New supported protocol decoders: + - lin Local Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol + - x2444m Xicor X2444M/P nonvolatile static RAM protocol + - ds2408 1-Wire 8-channel addressable switch + - cc1101 Low-power sub-1GHz RF transceiver chip + - enc28j60 Microchip ENC28J60 10Base-T Ethernet controller protocol + - pca9571 NXP PCA9571 8-bit I²C output expander + - seven_segment 7-segment display protocol + - amulet_ascii Amulet Technologies LCD controller ASCII protocol + - tdm_audio TDM multi-channel audio protocol + - signature Annotate signature of logic patterns + - nes_gamepad NES gamepad button states + - flexray Automotive network communications protocol + - ir_rc6 RC-6 infrared remote control protocol + - ieee488 IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB/HPIB or IEC) + - hdcp HDCP protocol over HDMI + * Add a mandatory 'tags' decoder metadata field that can be used by frontends + for grouping various PDs together by topic, e.g. "Sensor", "Audio", etc. + The full list of currently used tags is documented in the HACKING file. + * All decoders must implement a reset() method now. It should reset all + PD-internal state and will be called when the decoder is restarted from + scratch (by frontends) with new data. + * Fix various memory leaks and bad memory accesses (e.g. bug #1374). + * Build system: Add support for Python 3.8 (bug #1438). + * Various compiler warning fixes. + * Slightly more detailed and easier to read log messages in some places. + * Fix incorrect decoder 'output' metadata. + * Improve annotation row ordering in various PDs. + * ook: + - Fix two typos causing decode issues. + * uart: + - Add support for break condition detection. + - Add 'FRAME' Python output type that communicates frame validity. + - Add '[rx|tx]_packet_delimiter' options. + - Add '[rx|tx]_packet_len' options. + - Communicate periods of idle frames to stacked decoders. + - Add 'ignore' parity type, remove unsupported 'check_parity' option. + - Shorten/rename various decoder option names. + * spiflash: + - Add support for Winbond W25Q80DV and Atmel AT25xxx. + - Add support for the chip erase commands (CE, CE2). + - Add support for write enable state tracking. + - Remember write protection latch from status registers. + - Fix WRSR incorrectly using MISO for register decodes. + - Add "EEPROM" to descriptions to increase discoverability in UIs. + * i2s: + - Fix incorrect channel assignment. + - Fix usage of the incorrect edge for the data sampling. + * ds1307: + - Fix incorrect unit for frequencies above 1Hz. + - Fix incorrect AM/PM flag handling. + * ir_rc5: + - Fix an incorrect command value. + - Massively improve performance via proper self.wait() usage. + * onewire_network: + - Add support for the 'Resume ROM' command. + - Add a 'Disable Test Mode' command for DS2408. + * sdcard_spi: + - Add support for CMD24 including payload data (bug #1365). + - Fix duplicated 'End bit' annotation emission. + - Fix incorrect handling of CMD17 (bug #1377). + - Add "Card is busy" annotations for CMD24 (bug #1376). + * spi: + - Add support for "transfer" annotations. + * atsha204a: + - Add support for ATECC508A. + - Display OtherData parameter correctly when Verify command is executed + in Validate mode. + - Only call output_tx_bytes() when the bytes buffer is not empty. + * usb_request: + - Append OUT data only if it has been ACK'd. + - Always keep IN and OUT transfers separate. In case the transfer is an + IN transfer, set the high bit as used in the endpoint descriptors (i.e. + 0x81 is IN enpoint 1, 0x01 is OUT endpoint 1). + - Use separate annotation rows for IN, OUT and CONTROL (bug #1046). + - Allow configuration of BULK IN transfer display via an option. + * modbus: + - Make C->S and S->C configurable via options. + - Add a 'framegap' option. + * mrf24j40: + - Add RX/TX frame annotations. + - Add TX retries/fails and CCAFAIL support. + * eeprom93xx: + - Add ASCII format support. + - Add OUTPUT_BINARY support. + * can: + - Add CAN-FD support. + - Add new 'fast_bitrate' option. + - More robust sample point position for low sample rates. + * gpib, iec: + - Removed in favor of the new ieee488 decoder. + * ir_nec: + - Fix decoder when running it multiple times (bug #1243). + 0.5.2 (2018-09-12) ------------------
