4 Note: This release DOES change the libsigrok API. That means it is NOT
5 backwards-compatible and frontends will need updates.
7 * Support for analog sources (oscilloscopes, DMMs, data loggers) was added.
8 * New supported hardware:
13 - Hantek DSO-2090 (USB scope)
28 - Fluke ScopeMeter 199B
51 - Temperature/humidity/CO loggers:
52 - Lascar EL-USB and EL-USB CO series (various models)
55 * The limitation of max. 64 digital probes has been removed in many places.
56 * Added generic DMM protocol parsers usable for various DMMs, over various
57 cables and/or transports (e.g. same protocol over serial or USB/HID):
58 - Cyrustek ES51922 binary protocol.
59 - Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3/FS9721B binary protocol.
60 - Fortune Semiconductor FS9922-DMM3/DMM4 binary protocol.
61 - Metex 14-byte ASCII protocol.
62 - RadioShack 22-812 binary protocol.
63 * zeroplus-logic-cube driver:
64 - Fix acquisition at some specific samplerates. Only report valid ones.
65 - Default to a samplerate of 1MHz.
67 - Add pre-trigger (capture ratio) setting.
68 - Add support for the ZEROPLUS LAP-16128U.
70 - Add support for the CWAV USBee DX. This requires the latest version of
71 the fx2lafw firmware files.
72 - Add support for wide sampling (i.e. 16 probes instead of just 8).
73 - Fix multi-stage (software) triggers.
74 - Fix various memory leaks, firmware upload timeout bugs, and other issues.
75 - Various performance and memory usage improvements in the driver.
76 * chronovu-la8 driver:
77 - Add support for newer LA8 versions with USB VID/PID 0403:8867.
79 - Various bugfixes when setting time/sample limits.
80 * openbench-logic-sniffer driver:
81 - Don't try to scan all available serial ports for OLS devices. Instead,
82 the serial port to use now has to be specified by the user.
83 - Allow disabling RLE.
84 * udev rules file: Add many new entries for additional devices.
86 - analog: Prints analog values and their unit (e.g. from scopes or DMMs).
88 - vcd: Value Change Dump format
89 - wav: Waveform audio file format (for analog data)
90 * 'binary' input format: Add support for a 'samplerate' option.
91 * API related changes:
92 - There is generated Doxygen API documentation now.
93 - The header that frontends should include is: <libsigrok/libsigrok.h>.
94 There are other headers which are installed, but those are not meant to
95 be included directly by the frontends.
96 - There were numerous API changes, additions and removals, too many to list
97 here. Please check the source code or Doxygen API documentation for the
98 current set of API functions.
100 - Various improvements and fixes related to multiple parameters such as
101 directions, baudrate, flow control, and others.
102 - Add support for more baudrates (e.g. very low ones such as 600/1200)
103 that are used in some devices.
104 - Add support for setting DTR/RTS.
105 * gnuplot files: Add sample files for CWAV USBee DX (for 8/16 bit sampling).
106 * Documentation updates:
107 - Add a README.devices file which contains various notes for users of
108 libsigrok about device- and/or driver-specific issues.
109 - Update README, HACKING, and other documents.
110 - Updated build dependencies list.
111 - The following libs are needed in more recent versions now:
112 - glib (required): Now must be >= 2.32.0.
113 - libusb-1.0 (optional): Now must be >= 1.0.9.
114 - The following new libs were added as (optional) dependencies:
115 - libasound / alsa-lib (optional): >= 1.0
116 - check (optional, only needed for unit tests): >= 0.9.4
118 - Various compile fixes for Windows, FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD, and Mac OS X.
119 - Simplify/allow/fix cross-compilation of libsigrok.
120 - Various bugfixes for 32bit systems.
121 - Various endianness fixes.
123 - Add a --disable-all-drivers option. This can be overridden by
124 additional --enable-<drivername> options to selectively enable only some.
125 - Improve autodetection of libraries, and only enable drivers for which
126 all required libraries were found.
127 * Add a test suite for libsigrok with a few unit tests (the list will grow).
132 Note: This release does NOT change the libsigrok API.
134 * The 'saleae-logic' driver (which depends on the Saleae firmware), has
135 been replaced with the new 'fx2lafw' driver, which uses an open-source
136 firmware for Cypress FX2 chips which is also named 'fx2lafw'.
137 Details: http://sigrok.org/wiki/Fx2lafw
138 This new driver (+ firmware) currently supports the following devices:
140 - Braintechnology USB-LPS
141 - EE Electronics ESLA100
142 - EE Electronics ESLA201A
143 - Robomotic MiniLogic
144 - Robomotic BugLogic 3
148 - All Cypress FX2 eval boards with stock Cypress VID/PID, including:
150 - Braintechnology USB Interface V2.x
151 Only acquisition with 8 probes is supported so far. Support for 16 probes
152 and support for analog signal acquisition (on devices which have these
153 capabilities) will be added later.
155 - Add support for the ASIX SIGMA2. This requires the latest version of
156 the SIGMA/SIGMA2 firmware files.
157 Details: http://sigrok.org/wiki/Firmware
159 * ZEROPLUS Logic Cube LAP-C (16032): Fix a segfault.
160 * udev file: Add entries for Robomotic BugLogic 3, Velleman PCSU1000,
161 Ideofy LA-08, ARMFLY AX-Pro, and Braintechnology USB Interface V2.x.
162 * The zlib dependency has been removed (no longer needed).
163 * Fix compiling with "Homebrew" (Mac OS X).
164 * libsigrok now expects firmware files in $prefix/share/sigrok-firmware by
165 default (was $prefix/share/libsigrok/firmware before).
166 * Fix a Makefile.am bug which caused the generated ChangeLog files being
167 accidentally deleted upon 'make distclean'.
168 * ChronoVu LA8 input file format: Improve autodetection of the file format.
169 We now only accept files of the size 8388613 bytes (all LA8 files have
170 exactly this amount of bytes).
