A menu item Decoders->Add can add (only) low-level protocol decoders. + - Clicking on a decoder's arrow on the left-hand side allows stacking + (only) further, higher-level decoders (bug #333). + - Add support for multiple decoder rows per PD (bugs #161, #303). + * Add support for loading data from input files. + * Add support for saving logic analyzer data in *.sr files (bug #245). + * Show the filename of loaded *.sr files as "device name" in a drop-down. + * Add support for the new "channel groups" feature in libsigrok. + * Add a "Zoom to fit" and a "Zoom 1:1" icon/button. + * Add a "Channels" icon/button for enabling and configuring device channels. + * Add a "Device options" icon/button for configuring device specific settings + such as voltage thresholds. + * Double-clicking will zoom into the location the cursor points to. + * Add shortcut keys for Zoom-in (CTRL++) and Zoom-out (Ctrl+-) (bug #235). + * Add initial, basic support for analog data sources, such as oscilloscopes. + This has been tested on e.g. the Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope (bug #127). + * Almost all operations in PulseView work in an "auto-apply" style, i.e. + any changes in the GUI popups (decoder channel assignment, decoder option + changes, device channel changes, device option changes, and so on) have an + immediate effect (you don't have to click on any "OK" buttons). + * Open file dialog: Add 'All files' selection possibility. + * Added GUI support for the following libsigrok config options: + - SR_CONF_VOLTAGE_THRESHOLD + - SR_CONF_TRIGGER_SLOPE + - SR_CONF_EXTERNAL_CLOCK + - SR_CONF_CLOCK_EDGE + * Updated build requirements: + - cmake >= 2.8.6 (required) + - libsigrok >= 0.3.0 (required) + - libsigrokdecode >= 0.3.0 (required) + Note: libsigrokdecode is now always required (was optional before). + - libboost-filesystem >= 1.42 (required) + - libboost-test >= 1.42 (optional, only needed for running unit tests) + * Fix a build issue on NetBSD due to an incorrect #include. + * Fix a channel handling issue for devices with >= 16 channels. + * Fixed a few display issues related to UTF-8 strings in decoder annotations, + decoder options, and so on (bug #307, and other fixes without bug numbers). + * Don't decode if required PD channels were not supplied (bug #204). + * Fix some issues with partially disappearing PD annotations. + * Update the samplerate selector when the device config changes (since e.g. + en-/disabling logic analyzer channels can change available samplerates). + * Fix a samplerate selector and device config update issue (bug #296). + * Minor performance improvements via memory pre-allocation in some areas. + * Remove old PD annotations upon new captures (bugs #172, #302). + * Portability improvements by using portable sample pack/unpack code. + * Fix a segfault related to thread joining (bug #323). + * Fix a minor issue which lead to trigger config being unusable (bug #318). + * Fix an issue which lead to the user-selected samplerate in the drop-down + box not being selected and shown again after clicking "Run" (bug #324). + * Start a new decode session whenever a new frame begins. + * Fix an issue which arose when a session file load failed (bug #331). + * Fix a segfault if only exactly one libsigrok driver is available (bug #334). + * Fix an issue with channel names not being updated while typing (bug #338). + * Fix an issue by stopping the capture when a device is changed (bug #223). + * Fix an issue with the displayed cursor popup time (bug #229). + * Fix handling of different integer types in some properties (bug #203). + * Hide the 'Configure device' button when the popup would be empty (bug #232). + * Fix a decoding chunk buffer / unitsize issue (bugs #171, #225). + * Fix a zoom issue due to invalid samplerate, assume 1Hz if needed (bug #278). + * Fix a QWellArray related issue by dropping QT_NO_MENU code (bug #265). + * Fix an analog data channel interleaving issue (bug #279). + * Only show the sample count widget if needed (i.e., hide it for scopes). + * SweepTimingWidget: Show a 1-2-5 based list for samplerate and samplecount. + * Fixed a unit test issue with AnalogSnapshotTest (bug #286). + * Add an extra sample to edges to make the end sample visible (bug #280). + * Fix an issue with decoder errors being shown even after the error was fixed. + * Add support for SR_CONF_LIMIT_SAMPLES (device-specific limits) (bug #74). + * Windows: + - Use the sigrok logo as icon for pulseview.exe (bugs #110, #238). + - Fix SVG icons not being displayed on Windows (bug #239). + - Ship libusb0.dll in the NSIS based installer (bug #241). + - Additionally ship decoders, firmware files, example *.sr files, and + zadig.exe and zadig_xp.exe in the NSIS based installer. + - Fix a "working path" issue resulting in PDs not being usable. + * Device scan: Disable "OK" button if no devices were found (bug #237). + * Fix a segfault related to incorrect decoder option handling (bug #160). + * Fix an off-by-one issue resulting in one PD not being usable (bug #164). + * Fix a PD channel auto-select logic issue with optional channels (bug #310). + * Fix an issue when cancelling "Connect to Device" (bug #242). + * Avoid confusing annotation color changes (bug #311). + * Fix an issue that caused some decoded data to not be shown (bug #308). + * Don't allow disabled channels (channel arrows) to be selected (bug #313). + * The channel name field is now resized to always fit the contents (bug #167). + * Build fixes for systems with (among other versions) Qt5 installed. + * Fix a build issue related to missing libboost-filesystem (bug #133). + * Add Cotire (optional, disabled by default) support for build performance. + * Fix a build issue related to Cotire (bug #217). + * Fix an issue with missing channel names from loaded files (bug #126). + * Fix missing samplerate loading from session files (bug #123). + * Fix some build issues related to C++ namespaces (bug #196). + * Fix a file loading issue which triggered an assert (bug #320). + 0.1.0 (2013-05-04) ------------------
