fp@194: 
fp@547: * Release 1.3:
fp@557:   - Remove addressing scheme "X:Y".
fp@613:   - Remove ugly ec_slave_is_coupler().
fp@638:   - Reset topology_change_pending on successful validation.
fp@638:   - Dynamic creation of EoE handlers.
fp@612: 
fp@612: * Future features:
fp@612:   - Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO.
fp@557:   - Distributed clocks.
fp@557:   - Read dynamic PDO mapping from SDO dictionary (see can-cia.org: cia301ds4).
fp@557:   - Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
fp@547: 
fp@612: * Smaller issues:
fp@636:   - Clear sync managers in INIT.
fp@557:   - Simplify FSMs with <state>_enter() functions.
fp@557:   - Output intermediate results during lsec.
fp@557:   - State change FSM: Follow spontaneous state changes.
fp@638:   - Read out CRC counters.
fp@638:   - Calculate expected working counter for domains.
fp@638:   - Optimize alignment of process data.
fp@638:   - Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing.
fp@638:   - SDO dictionary and -access in operation mode.
fp@638:   - SDO write access in sysfs.
fp@638:   - Speed up IDLE state machine through fast mode with schedule().
fp@547: 
fp@612: * Less important issues:
fp@557:   - Implement all EtherCAT datagram types.
fp@557:   - File access over EtherCAT (FoE).
fp@557:   - Allow VLAN tagging.
fp@557:   - Determine number of frames the NIC can handle.
