cables and/or transports (e.g. same protocol over serial or USB/HID):
- Cyrustek ES51922 binary protocol.
- Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3/FS9721B binary protocol.

* zeroplus-logic-cube driver:
- Fix acquisition at some specific samplerates. Only report valid ones.
- Default to a samplerate of 1MHz.
- Fix trigger code.
- Add pre-trigger (capture ratio) setting.
- Add support for the ZEROPLUS LAP-16128U.
* fx2lafw driver:
- Add support for the USBee DX. This requires the latest version of the
fx2lafw firmware files.
- Add support for wide sampling (i.e. 16 probes instead of just 8).
- Fix multi-stage (software) triggers.
- Fix various memory leaks, firmware upload timeout bugs, and other issues.
- Various performance and memory usage improvements in the driver.
* chronovu-la8 driver:

* demo driver:
- Various bugfixes when setting time/sample limits.
* openbench-logic-sniffer driver:
- Don't try to scan all available serial ports for OLS devices. Instead,
the serial port to use now has to be specified by the user.
- Allow disabling RLE.
* udev rules file: Add many new entries for additional devices.
* New output formats:
- analog: Prints analog values and their unit (e.g. from scopes or DMMs).
* New input formats:
- vcd: Value Change Dump format
- wav: Waveform audio file format (for analog data)
* 'binary' input format: Add support for a 'samplerate' option.
* API related changes:
- There is generated Doxygen API documentation now.
- The header that frontends should include is: <libsigrok/libsigrok.h>.
There are other headers which are installed, but those are not meant to
be included directly by the frontends.
- There we numerous API changes, additions and removals, too many to list
here. Please check the source code or Doxygen API documentation for the
current set of API functions.
* Serial port code:
- Various improvements and fixes related to multiple parameters such as
directions, baudrate, flow control, and others.
- Add support for more baudrates (e.g. very low ones such as 600/1200)
that are used in some devices.
- Add support for setting DTR/RTS.
* gnuplot files: Add sample files for USBee DX (for 8/16 bit sampling).
* Documentation updates:
- Add a README.devices file which contains various notes for users of
libsigrok about device- and/or driver-specific issues.
- Update README, HACKING, and other documents.
- Updated build dependencies list.
- The following libs are needed in more recent versions now:
- glib (required): Now must be >= 2.32.0.
- libusb-1.0 (optional): Now must be >= 1.0.9.
- The following new libs were added as (optional) dependencies:
- libasound / alsa-lib (optional): >= 1.0
- check (optional, only needed for unit tests): >= 0.9.4
* Portability:
- Various compile fixes for Windows, FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD, and Mac OS X.
- Simplify/allow/fix cross-compilation of libsigrok.
- Various bugfixes for 32bit systems.
- Various endianness fixes.
* configure:
- Add a --disable-all-drivers option. This can be overridden by
additional --enable-<drivername> options to selectively enable only some.
- Improve autodetection of libraries, and only enable drivers for which
all required libraries were found.
* Add a test suite for libsigrok with a few unit tests (the list will grow).
0.1.1 (2012-05-30)
------------------
Note: This release does NOT change the libsigrok API.
* The 'saleae-logic' driver (which depends on the Saleae firmware), has
been replaced with the new 'fx2lafw' driver, which uses an open-source
firmware for Cypress FX2 chips which is also named 'fx2lafw'.
Details: http://sigrok.org/wiki/Fx2lafw
This new driver (+ firmware) currently supports the following devices:
- ARMFLY AX-Pro
- Braintechnology USB-LPS
- EE Electronics ESLA100
- EE Electronics ESLA201A
- Robomotic MiniLogic
- Robomotic BugLogic 3
- Saleae Logic
- USBee AX
- USBee SX
- All Cypress FX2 eval boards with stock Cypress VID/PID, including:
- Lcsoft Mini Board
- Braintechnology USB Interface V2.x
Only acquisition with 8 probes is supported so far. Support for 16 probes
and support for analog signal acquisition (on devices which have these
capabilities) will be added later.
* ASIX SIGMA driver:
- Add support for the ASIX SIGMA2. This requires the latest version of
the SIGMA/SIGMA2 firmware files.
Details: http://sigrok.org/wiki/Firmware
- Various bugfixes.
* ZEROPLUS Logic Cube LAP-C (16032): Fix a segfault.
* udev file: Add entries for Robomotic BugLogic 3, Velleman PCSU1000,
Ideofy LA-08, ARMFLY AX-Pro, and Braintechnology USB Interface V2.x.
* The zlib dependency has been removed (no longer needed).
* Fix compiling with "Homebrew" (Mac OS X).
* libsigrok now expects firmware files in $prefix/share/sigrok-firmware by
default (was $prefix/share/libsigrok/firmware before).
* Fix a Makefile.am bug which caused the generated ChangeLog files being
accidentally deleted upon 'make distclean'.
* ChronoVu LA8 input file format: Improve autodetection of the file format.
We now only accept files of the size 8388613 bytes (all LA8 files have
exactly this amount of bytes).
0.1.0 (2012-04-17)
------------------
* Initial release.
