| libgpiod v1.5.3 |
| =============== |
| |
| Bug fixes: |
| - fix unit conversion in event timestamp calculation in C++ bindings |
| - fix reading subset of available events in core library |
| |
| libgpiod v1.5.2 |
| =============== |
| |

| - make gpiod_line_get_value_bulk() work for bulks of lines requested for |
| events, not only those requested for values |

| |
| libgpiod v1.5.1 |
| =============== |
| |
| Bug fixes: |

| |
| libgpiod v1.5 |
| ============= |
| |
| New features: |
| - switched to using the GLib testing framework for core library tests and BATS |
| (Bash Automated Testing System) for command-line tools |
| - used Catch2 C++ testing framework to implement a proper test-suite for C++ |
| bindings while also reusing the API provided by libgpiomockup |
| - used Python's unittest package to implement a proper test suite for Python |
| bindings and reused libgpiockup again |
| - provided line::update() and Line.update() routines for C++ and Python |
| bindings respectively allowing to update the line info from bindings as well |
| - added support for bias flags which are a new functionality first available in |
| linux v5.5; subsequently the library now requires v5.5 kernel headers to |
| build; the new flags are supported in the core library, C++ and Python |
| bindings as well as the command-line tools |
| - added support for the new SET_CONFIG ioctl(): this too is a new functionality |
| added in linux v5.5; both features have been implemented in the library by |
| Kent Gibson |
| - added routines for reading multiple line events at once to the core library, |
| C++ and Python bindings |
| |
| Improvements: |
| - constified function arguments where applicable in libgpiomockup |
| - fixed the name of the test exeucutable displayed at build time |
| - improved the function pointer casting in Python bindings to avoid warnings |
| emitted by GCC8 |
| - switched to using the KERNEL_VERSION() macro in tests instead of handcoded |
| version parsing |
| - improved the setup ordering in tests (setup libgpiomockup before checking |
| the kernel version |
| - add 'extern "c"' to the libgpiomockup header to make it usable from C++ |
| - add chip index validation to libgpiomockup functions |
| - check if the debugfs directory used by libgpiomockup is writable before |
| using it to set the pull of dummy lines |
| - add several new test cases |
| - improved Python example programs (made gpiomon's output similar to the |
| original tool, make gpioset wait for an ENTER pres by default) |
| - fixed the major:minor number comparison between the device and sysfs |
| - deprecated the gpiod_line_needs_update() function and removed the logic |
| behind it from the library |
| - shrank the Python bindings a bit by directly returning the value from |
| PyErr_SetFromErrno() |
| - dropped noexcept from methods which can throw in C++ bindings |
| - switched to initializing the bitset with integers instead of strings in C++ |
| bindings |
| - allowed gpiod_line_set_value_bulk() to accept null pointers |
| - when building Python bindings: check for the existence of python-config |
| - improved the readability of help text messages for command-line tools |
| - reworked the .gitignore file: added libtool scripts generated during |
| cross-compilation and split the main .gitignore into several fine-grained |
| files |
| - fixed several misspellings |
| - other minor tweaks and improvements |
| |
| Bug fixes: |
| - fixed memory leaks in libgpiomockup |
| - fixed memory leaks in the testing framework |
| - fixed a segfault in error path in tests |
| - make gpioinfo show lines claimed by the kernel as used even if they have no |
| named consumer |
| - fixed the test cases validating the '--active-low' switch in gpiomon and |
| the GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_ACTIVE_LOW flag in the core library after a fix |
| for incorrect behavior was merged in linux v5.2.7 |
| - stopped failing at init-time of libgpiomockup if gpio-mockup is already |
| loaded |
| - added a missing throw keyword in error path in C++ bindings |
| - fixed a segfault in Python bindings when calling Line.request() without |
| the consumer argument |
| |
| libgpiod v1.4 |
| ============= |
| |
| New features: |
| - updated the testing framework to work with linux v5.1 in which the debugfs |
| interface of the GPIO testing module changed in a backward incompatible way |
| - factored out the code controlling the GPIO testing module into a separate |
| shared library that may be reused by future testing executables for different |
| language bindings |
| - removed the --enable-install-tests build option and the make check target as |
| they were redundant, subsequently tests are now installed as a normal program |
| whenever they're enabled with --enable-tests |
| |
| Improvements: |
| - removed unnecessary std::move calls from C++ bindings |
| - added the explicit keyword to bool() operators in C++ bindings |

| |
| Improvements: |
| - tweaks to the C API documentation |
| - treewide unification of the naming of local variables |
| - extended helptest in gpioset (explanation of the way the character device |
| works aimed at reducing user confusion when a GPIO line reverts to its |
| default value after gpioset exits) |
| - the source directories have been rearranged and the src/ directory was |
| dropped, lib/ and tools/ now live in the top source directory |
| - minor coding style fixes in python bindings, ctxless functions and tools |
| - automatically generated documentation is now removed by 'make clean' |
| - all Makefiles now use top_builddir instead of relative paths |
| - code shrink in configure.ac |
| - add a brief section about API documentation to README |
| |
| Bug fixes: |
| - fix a segfault causing bug in C++ bindings |

| - don't segfault on num_lines = 0 in ctxless functions |
| |
| libgpiod v1.2 |
