fp@194: 
fp@776: Version 1.4.0:
fp@547: 
fp@1080: * Read Pdo mapping for unknown Pdos before configuring them.
fp@1042: * Attach Pdo names from SII or Coe dictioary to Pdos read via CoE.
fp@918: * Update documentation.
fp@1063: * Get original driver for r8169.
fp@1082: * Race in jiffies frame timeout?
fp@1136: * ethercat tool:
fp@1151:     - Update help for --alias and --position.
fp@1136:     - Show Pdos in 'ethercat slave -v'.
fp@1136:     - Accept files from stdin.
fp@1136:     - Display attached device's MAC address instead of ff's.
fp@1136:     - Data type abbreviations.
fp@1136:     - Add a -n (numeric) switch.
fp@1144:     - Check for options, remove global variables.

fp@776: Future issues:
fp@776: 
fp@1119: * Distributed clocks.
fp@1136: * Allow master requesting when in ORPHANED phase
fp@984: * Move master threads, slave handlers and state machines into a user
fp@984:   space daemon.
fp@952: * Implement user space realtime interface via cdev.
fp@952: * Mailbox protocol handlers.
fp@952: * Mailbox state machine using toggle bits.
fp@831: * Mailbox gateway.
fp@952: * Separate CoE debugging.
fp@952: * Evaluate EEPROM contents after writing.
fp@952: * Optimize alignment of process data.
fp@776: * Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
fp@776: * Interface/buffers for asynchronous domain IO.
fp@1119: * Make scanning and configuration run parallel (each).
fp@1119: * File access over EtherCAT (FoE).
fp@776: 
fp@776: Smaller issues:
fp@776: 
fp@1136: * Stop master thread at ecrt_master_request() to get rid of allow_* flags?
fp@866: * Evaluate SII Size field (0x003E) to determine maximum SII memory size.
fp@833: * Unite fsm_pdo_mapping, fsm_pdo_config and fsm_coe_map.
fp@776: * Clear sync managers in INIT.
fp@776: * Read out CRC counters.
fp@776: * Configure slave ports to automatically open on link detection.
fp@776: * Only execute one EoE handler per EoE cycle.
fp@1119: * Fix datagram errors on application loading/unloading.
fp@776: 
fp@776: Less important issues:
fp@776: 
fp@776: * Allow VLAN tagging.
fp@776: * Determine number of frames, the NIC can handle.
