+0.4.1 (2018-10-29)
+------------------
+
+ * Updated build requirements:
+ - libsigrokcxx >= 0.5.1 (libsigrok C++ bindings)
+ - libsigrokdecode >= 0.5.2
+ - libboost-stacktrace (optional, only needed for debugging)
+ - asciidoctor (optional, only needed to build the HTML manual)
+ - asciidoctor-pdf (optional, only needed to build the PDF manual)
+ * Add support for snapping cursors and markers to signal edges (bug #684).
+ - When the mouse cursor is in a channel, snapping will only be performed
+ for edges of that specific channel.
+ - When the mouse cursor is not in a channel, snapping will happen for any
+ edge of any channel (bugs #1292, #1294).
+ - When moving both cursors at the same time, the left one will snap to
+ edges while the right one will not (e.g. useful for measurements).
+ - The edge to snap to is chosen based on heuristics involving the edge
+ density near the mouse cursor (to try to get the most useful matches).
+ * Command-line options:
+ - Add support for loading multiple files from the command-line (bug #1040).
+ - Add support for input format options for the -I parameter (bug #951).
+ Example: pulseview -I csv:header:first-channel=2 -i filename.csv
+ - Try to autodetect the input format when -I is not supplied (bug #1015).
+ - Add support for -d/--driver, i.e. driver scan options (bug #953).
+ Example: pulseview -d ols:conn=/dev/ttyACM0
+ - Add a -D/--dont-scan option, don't auto-scan for devices (bug #1116).
+ - The -V option now shows the full PulseView/libs version info (bug #1213).
+ * Add support for per-channel analog-to-logic conversion (A2L) via either
+ the "threshold" or "schmitt-trigger" method, which allows running protocol
+ decoders on the converted channels.
+ * Cursors:
+ - Add a tooltip when there's not enough space to show the
+ interval/frequency measurement values (bug #1222).
+ - Measurements are always shown with 12 digit precision (bug #870).
