fp@479: 
fp@573: Changes in version 1.3.0:
fp@573: 
fp@581: * Added Intel PRO/100 ethernet driver (e100).
fp@581: * Added ethernet driver for NVIDIA nForce chipsets (forcedeth).
fp@573: * Removed "ec_eoeif_count" master module parameter.
fp@573: * Introduced "device IDs" to tell a master to wait for certain ethernet
fp@573:   devices.
fp@573: * Added "main" and "backup" parameters to master module. To hand over
fp@573:   device ID lists.
fp@573: * Changed format of sysconfig file and accordingly adjusted functionality
fp@573:   of the init script to handle device IDs.
fp@573: * Device interface changes:
fp@573:   - Replaced ecdev_register() and ecdev_unregister() with ecdev_offer() and
fp@573:     ecdev_withdraw(), respectively. The device modules now offer all their
fp@573:     devices to the master, which decides, which ones to register.
fp@598: * Removed annoying eeprom_write_enable file. EEPROM writing always enabled.
fp@573: * Removed EtherCAT line comments from 8139too drivers.

fp@495: Changes in version 1.2.0:
fp@495: 
fp@564: * Serveral fixes of bugs and stability issues. Master should now run fine
fp@564:   with kernels 2.6.17 to 2.6.19.
fp@533: * Realtime interface changes:
fp@508:   - Re-introduced ecrt_domain_queue() to allow datagram queuing apart
fp@508:     from datagram processing. The queuing of a domain's datagrams is not
fp@508:     done in ecrt_domain_process() any more!
fp@508:   - Removed ecrt_master_deactivate(). Its functionality was moved into
fp@508:     ecrt_master_release().
fp@508:   - Removed ecrt_master_prepare(). Its functionality was moved into
fp@508:     ecrt_master_activate().
fp@508:   - Renamed ecdev_start() and ecdev_stop() to ecdev_open() and ecdev_close().
fp@508:     These two functions now take a pointer to ec_device_t as their arguments.
fp@508:   - The data_ptr parameter of ecrt_domain_register_pdo(),
fp@508:     ecrt_domain_register_pdo_list() and ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range() may
fp@508:     not be NULL any more.
fp@508:   - Removed ecrt_slave_pdo_size(). This function was deprecated long before.
fp@541:   - Introduced ECRT_VERSION_MAGIC macro and ecrt_version_magic() function.
fp@533: * Device interface changes:
fp@533:   - ec_isr_t was replaced by ec_pollfunc_t, the device driver has to supply
fp@533:     a poll function to call its ISR. This was introduced because some network
fp@533:     drivers' interrupt functions have different arguments.
fp@508: * State machines now try to re-send datagrams on datagram timeout.
fp@508: * New option -c of the lsec script, displays slave current consumptions and
fp@508:   remaining current.
fp@508: * Added frame counter in master info file.

fp@495: 
fp@495: Changes in version 1.1.1:
fp@495: 
fp@479: * State change FSM: Clearing of sync managers before PREOP.
fp@479: * Added modules_install make target.
fp@479: * Device modules for kernel 2.6.17.
fp@479: * SDO configurations available in Sysfs.
fp@479: * FMMU configurations cleared when going to INIT.
fp@479: * Slave-specific logs only at debug level 1 (for large busses).
fp@479: * Slave flags (error, online) available in Sysfs.
fp@479: * Acknowledging of spontaneous state changes in master FSMs.
fp@479: * ecrt_master_deactivate() deprecated.
fp@479: * Persistent slave lists. Slave structures are only regenerated on topology
fp@479:   change in IDLE mode.
fp@479: * SDO reading via Sysfs.
fp@479: * Added ecrt_domain_register_pdo_range()
fp@479: * Fetching of SDO dictionary.
fp@479: * Better timing behaviour when starting up under high CPU load.
fp@479: * Applied Autotools.
fp@479: * Improved output of lsec.
fp@479: * SDO download state machine.
