This +means existing libsigrokdecode 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: + - aud Renesas/Hitachi Advanced User Debugger (AUD) protocol + - avr_pdi Atmel proprietary interface for the ATxmega MCU + - dmx512 Professional lighting control protocol + - em4305 EM4205/EM4305 100-150kHz RFID protocol + - gpib IEEE-488 GPIB / HPIB protocol + - ps2 PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface + - rgb_led_ws281x RGB LED string protocol (WS281x) + - ssi32 Synchronous Serial Interface (32bit) protocol + - t55xx T55xx 100-150kHz RFID protocol + - wiegand Wiegand interface for electronic entry systems + * Introduce a decoders/common facility for code shared between PDs (bug #804). + * Supply metadata to all stacked decoders, not just low-level ones (bug #664). + * Various Doxygen/documentation improvements. + * Factor out a srd_decoder_apiver() internal helper function. + * srd_inst_decode(): Return SRD_ERR_ARG if unitsize is 0. + * Print error messages when decoders fail load time checks (bug #704). + * Fix multiple valgrind warnings (memory leaks and such). + * Build system: Sort PD list alphabetically in "make install". + * mdio: + - Replace PD with a new implementation that also supports Clause 22 and 45. + - Improve annotations slightly. + * xfp: + - Move various constants to common/plugtrx for reusability purposes. + * sdcard_{sd,spi}: + - Move various constants to common/sdcard for reusability purposes. + * usb_request: + - Drop hardcoded samplerate (workaround for the fixed bug #664). + * spiflash: + - Handle CS# transitions, allow variable-length transfers. + - Handle "Fast Read Dual I/O" commands. + - Add a "format" decoder option. + - Implement Release Power-down / Device ID (0xAB) command (bug #845). + - Remove hardcoded Macronix references. + - Add initial FIDELIX FM25Q32 metadata/support. + - Implement WRSR, RDSR2 commands. + - Various annotation improvements. + * timing: + - Add frequency and averaging support. + * midi: + - Decode note names and percussion names (e.g. 'G2', 'Tambourine'). + - Decode instrument names and drum_kit names (e.g. 'GS Orchestra Kit'). + - Handle Polyphonic Pressure / Aftertouch (message 0xAn). + - Handle Program Change (message 0xCn). + - Handle Channel Pressure / Aftertouch (message 0xDn). + - Handle Channel Mode (message 0xBn mm where mm is 120 through 127). + - Handle System Common messages (message 0xF1 through 0xF6), including + full time code decoding. + - SysEx decoding now decodes the 1-3 byte manufacturer field, payload + is now displayed as hex. + - 'undefined' fields now display the value (e.g. 'undefined 0xf4'). + - Add 'MSB' and 'LSB' to many control_functions entries. + - Fix "trapped in state X" bug with handle_channel_msg_generic(), + though this might be dead code. + - Fix bug in sysex_manufacturer_ids; 1-byte manufacturers were not + tuples due to missing comma. + - Fix bug in SysEx state machine; 0xF7 now sent to handle_sysex_msg(). + - Annotations: Provide multiple string versions (shorter and longer ones). + - chromatic_notes in list.py was off by 1 octave. + - Handle "Running Status" where status byte can be omitted. + - SysEx message can be terminated by status byte, not just EOX. + - Handle SysReal messages that interrupt in-progress message transmission. + - Identify and print garbage / truncated data. + - Add 2 new annotations: text-sysreal-verbose and text-error. + * usb_power_delivery: + - Drop problematic exception in us2samples() function (bug #758). + * uart: + - Fix a bug in the output for stacked PDs (when there's RX/TX overlap). + - Various output formatting improvements (e.g. for ASCII and octal). + - Skip frames with invalid start bits. + - Emit 2 bytes for 9-bit UART binary output (bug #708). + - Default to hex format datavalue annotations. + * spi: + - Fix binary output for wordsizes > 8 (bug #686). + * Various decoders: + - Fix some incorrect PD license metadata fields. + - Fix typos, whitespace issues and random other cosmetics in some PDs. + - Use consistent __init__() format across all PDs. + - Move some duplicated code snippets/lists to decoders/common. + 0.4.0 (2016-01-29) ------------------
