+* Added --enable-eoe conditional.
+* Minor extensions of the master info file.
+* Improved handling of unexpected working counters.
+* Create network interfaces for EoE devices with alias as eoeXaY.
+* Fixed problems on big-endian systems.
+* Added documentation on how to set up an EoE network.

* Removed "ec_eoeif_count" master module parameter. EoE handlers are created
dynamically instead.
* Added "main" and "backup" parameters to master module to hand over the
MAC addresses of the devices to wait for. This made the ec_device_index
- parameter of the ethernet drivers obsolete. The broadcast MAC address means,
- that the master accepts the first device offered by any ethernet driver.
