Release Notes

Changes since V2.6 release.

IPAC Driver

Changed:

• Modified the drvIpac/Makefile to build all carrier drivers on all architectures so one set of registrar() entries can be used on all vxWorks architectures, although some carrier drivers will only work on certain CPUs.

Octal Serial Driver

Added:

• Support for the ioctls SIO_HW_OPTS_GET and SIO_BAUD_GET (defined in the vxWorks header file sioLib.h) to provide readback of the current settings.

Changed:

• Hardware handshaking now works, thanks to much effort put in by Ron Sluiter who discovered that it didn't and who spent time testing my fixes and helping me to understand the chip documentation properly.
