Version 1.0 13 Feb 2002 First public release. Split from the pybsl application (see mspgcc.sourceforge.net) New Features: - Added Jython support Version 1.1 14 Feb 2002 Bugfixes: - Win32, when not specifying a timeout - Typos in the Docs New Features: - added serialutil which provides a base class for the Serial objects. - readline, readlines, writelines and flush are now supported see README.txt for deatils. Version 1.11 14 Feb 2002 Same as 1.1 but added missing files. Version 1.12 18 Feb 2002 Removed unneded constants to fix RH7.x problems. Version 1.13 09 Apr 2002 Added alternate way for enabling rtscts (CNEW_RTSCTS is tried too) If port opening fails, a SerialException is raised on all platforms Version 1.14 29 May 2002 Added examples to archive Added non-blocking mode for timeout=0 (tnx Mat Martineau) Bugfixes: - win32 does now return the remaining characters on timeout Version 1.15 04 Jun 2002 Bugfixes (win32): - removed debug messages - compatibility to win9x improved Version 1.16 02 Jul 2002 Added implementation of RI and corrected RTS/CTS on Win32 Version 1.17 03 Jul 2002 Silly mix of two versions in win32 code corrected Version 1.18 06 Dec 2002 Bugfixes (general): - remove the mapping of flush to the destructive flushOutput as this is not the expected behaviour. - readline: EOL character for lines can be chosen idea by John Florian. Bugfixes (posix): - cygwin port numbering fixed - test each and every constant for it's existence in termios module, use default if not existent (fix for Bug item #640214) - wrong exception on nonexitstent ports with /dev file. bug report by Louis Cordier Bugfixes (win32): - RTS/CTS handling as sugested in Bug #635072 - bugfix of timeouts brought up by Markus Hoffrogge Version 1.19 19 Mar 2003 Bugfixes (posix): - removed dgux entry which actualy had a wrong comment and is probably not in use anywhere. Bugfixes (win32): - added int() conversion, [Bug 702120] - remove code to set control lines in close methond of win32 version. [Bug 669625] Version 1.20 28 Aug 2003 Added serial.device() for all platforms Bugfixes (win32): - don't recreate opverlaped structures and events on each read/write. - don't set unneded event masks. - dont use DOS device names for ports > 9. - remove send timeout (its not used in the linux impl. anyway). Version 1.21 30 sep 2003 Bugfixes (win32): - name for COM10 was not built correctly, found by Norm Davis. Bugfixes (examples): - small change in miniterm.py that should mage it run on cygwin, [Bug 809904] submitted by Rolf Campbell. Version 2.0b1 1 Oct 2003 Transition to the 2.0 series: - New implementation only supports Python 2.2+, backwards compatibility should be maintained almost everywhere. The OS handles (like the hComPort or fd attribute) were prefixed with an underscore. The different names stay, as anyone that uses one of these has to write platform specific code anyway. - Common base class serialutil.SerialBase for all implementations. - PARITY_NONE, PARITY_EVEN, PARITY_ODD constants changed and all these constants moved to serialutil.py (still available as serial.PARITY_NONE etc. and they should be used that way) - Added serial.PARITY_NAMES (implemented in serialutil.PARITY_NAMES). This dictionary can be used to convert parity constants to meaningful strings. - Each Serial class and instance has a list of supported values: BAUDRATES, BYTESIZES, PARITIES, STOPBITS (i.e. serial.Serial.BAUDRATES or s = serial.Serial; s.BAUDRATES) these values can be used to fill in value sin GUI dialogs etc. - Creating a Serial() object without port spec returns an unconfigured, closed port. Useful if a GUI dialog should take a port and configure it. - New methods for serial.Serial instances: open(), isOpen() - A port can be opened and closed as many times as desired. - Instances of serial.Serial have baudrate, bytesize, timeout etc. attributes implemented as properties, all can be set while the port is opened. It will then be reconfigured. - Improved __doc__'s. - New test_advanced.py for the property setting/getting testing. - Small bugfix on posix with get* methods (return value should be true a boolean). - added a __repr__ that returns a meaningful string will all the serial setting, easy for debugging. - The serialposix module does not throw an exception on unsupported platforms, the message is still printed. The idea that it may still work even if the platform itself s not known, it simply tries to do the posix stuff anyway (It's likely that opening ports by number fails, but by name it should work). Version 2.0b2 4 Oct 2003 - Added serial port configuration dialog for wxPython to the examples. - Added terminal application for wxPython with wxGlade design file to the examples. - Jython support is currenty broken as Jython does not have a Python 2.2 compatible release out yet Version 2.0 6 Nov 2003 - Fixes setup.py for older distutils Version 2.1 28 Jul 2004 Bugfixes: - Fix XON/XOFF values [Bug 975250] Bugfixes (posix): - fd == 0 fix from Vsevolod Lobko - netbsd fixes from Erik Lindgren - Dynamicaly lookup baudrates and some cleanups Bugfixes (examples): - CRLF handling of miniterm.py should be more consistent on Win32 and others. Added LF only command line option - Mutithreading fixes to wxTerminal.py (helps with wxGTK) - Small change for wxPython 2.5 in wxSerialConfigDialog.py [Bug 994856] New Features: - Implement write timeouts ('writeTimeout' parameter)
