Version 1.4.0:
-* Slave config allow flag and completion object.
+* Remove bus validation; make bus scanning possible at any time.
+* Remove self_configured flag to avoid unnecessary process data
+ interruptions.
+* Replace Sysfs interface with cdev and a user space program
+ to replace lsec; move a few sysfs attributes to proc.
+* Make scanning and configuration run parallel (each).
+* Improve slave config allow flag and completion object.
* Mailbox state machine using toggle bits.
* Mailbox protocol handlers.
* READMEs for examples.

* Remove ecdb.h and let lsec output PDO information 'cut-and-pastable' for
applications.
* SDO write access in sysfs.
-* Distributed clocks.
* Update documentation.
* Do not configure in ecrt_master_activate(), but later in the state machine.
-* Remove master_state_t.
+* Supply new ec_master_state_t.
* Scanning of Sdo dictionary / writing EEPROM in OPERATION state.
* Adapt remaining examples.
* Separate Pdo and Pdo entry classes.
* Attach Pdo names.
-* Make all define underscores the same.
-* Remove bus validation; make bus scanning possible at any time.
-* Re-design slave configuration FSM, avoid unnecessary process data
- interruptions.
* Wait for bus scanning, even when link is not up at ecrt_request_master().
* Implement ecrt_slave_config_state().
+* Add something like lsec -n to show numeric vendor IDs.
Future issues:
-* Move slave handlers and state machines, etc. into a user space daemon.
- - Step 1: Replace Sysfs interface with cdev and a user space program
- to replace lsec.
- - Step 2: Move kernel threads to user space daemon with a TCP interface
- replacing the cdev.
+* Distributed clocks.
+* Move slave handlers and state machines, etc. into a user space daemon (move

* Mailbox gateway.
* Slave-to-slave communication.
* Redundancy with 2 network adapters.
