Only report valid ones. + - Default to a samplerate of 1MHz. + - Fix trigger code. + - Add pre-trigger (capture ratio) setting. + - Add support for the ZEROPLUS LAP-16128U. * fx2lafw driver: - - Add support for the USBee DX and clones. This requires the latest - version of the fx2lafw firmware files. + - Add support for the USBee DX. This requires the latest version of the + fx2lafw firmware files. + - Add support for wide sampling (i.e. 16 probes instead of just 8). + - Fix multi-stage (software) triggers. + - Fix various memory leaks, firmware upload timeout bugs, and other issues. + - Various performance and memory usage improvements in the driver. + * chronovu-la8 driver: + - Add support for newer LA8 versions with USB VID/PID 0403:8867. + * demo driver: + - Various bugfixes when setting time/sample limits. + * openbench-logic-sniffer driver: + - Don't try to scan all available serial ports for OLS devices.

Please check the source code or Doxygen API documentation for the + current set of API functions. + * Serial port code: + - Various improvements and fixes related to multiple parameters such as + directions, baudrate, flow control, and others. + - Add support for more baudrates (e.g. very low ones such as 600/1200) + that are used in some devices. + - Add support for setting DTR/RTS. + * gnuplot files: Add sample files for USBee DX (for 8/16 bit sampling). + * Documentation updates: + - Add a README.devices file which contains various notes for users of + libsigrok about device- and/or driver-specific issues. + - Update README, HACKING, and other documents. + - Updated build dependencies list. + - The following libs are needed in more recent versions now: + - glib (required): Now must be >= 2.32.0. + - libusb-1.0 (optional): Now must be >= 1.0.9. + - The following new libs were added as (optional) dependencies: + - libasound / alsa-lib (optional): >= 1.0 + - check (optional, only needed for unit tests): >= 0.9.4 + * Portability: + - Various compile fixes for Windows, FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD, and Mac OS X. + - Simplify/allow/fix cross-compilation of libsigrok. + - Various bugfixes for 32bit systems. + - Various endianness fixes. + * configure: + - Add a --disable-all-drivers option. This can be overridden by + additional --enable- options to selectively enable only some. + - Improve autodetection of libraries, and only enable drivers for which + all required libraries were found. + * Add a test suite for libsigrok with a few unit tests (the list will grow). 0.1.1 (2012-05-30) ------------------
