Small compatibility improvements, and added scsi2sd-monitor test program
[SCSI2SD.git] / CHANGELOG
1 20150420 4.2.2
2 - Improved compatibility with older SCSI1 hosts.
3
4 20150123 4.1.1
5 - Fix MODE SENSE bug when the allocation length is less than the
6 page size.
7 - Add WRITE BUFFER and WRITE AND VERIFY support.
8 - Fix rare case of very slow performance
9
10 20150201 4.1
11 - Rewrite of the SD card interface to fix compatibility problems.
12 This fixes write issues with Samsung SD cards.
13 - Workaround for SCSI hosts that set 250ms timeouts. Some NCR53C80/53C9X
14 drivers (openbsd, netbsd, and others) set a byte-to-byte timeout which
15 can be exceeded by SD card latency.
16 - Upgrade to PSoC Creator 3.1 and gcc 4.8.4.
17 - Integrated scsi2sd-debug functionality with scsi2sd-util.
18
19 20150108 4.0
20 - Fix handling requests for LUNs other than 0 from SCSI-2 hosts.
21 - Handle glitches of the scsi signals to improve stability and operate with
22 multiple devices on the SCSI bus.
23 - Re-add parity checking. This can be disabled using scsi2sd-config if
24 required.
25 - Added disconnect/reconnect support during SD card writes.
26 - Preliminary CDROM device support (incomplete)
27 - New configuration method. Data is now stored in flash to allow room for
28 custom VPD tables. The old eeprom configuration is ignored.
29 - Support for up to 4 SCSI targets.
30 - scsi2sd-config and bootloader hosts utilities are replaced by the
31 new scsi2sd-util GUI.
32 - Fix for SD cards with Samsung controllers which expect a "stop" bit
33 in each SD command over SPI.
34 - Hot-swap support. The SD card can be removed whenever it's not in use
35 (ie. the LED must be OFF when the SD card is removed)
36
37 20140718 3.5.2
38 - Fix blank SCSI ID in scsi2sd-config output.
39
40 20140717 3.5.1
41 - Allow building utilities on older Linux distros
42 - Resolve missing DLL issues for the Windows utilities
43 - Fix scsi2sd-config crash on Mac.
44
45 20140713 3.5
46 - Fixed several performance issues. Transfer rates up to 2.5MB/s are now
47 possible.
48 - Implemented the READ BUFFER scsi command for performance testing purposes.
49 - Added support for the new "yellow" v4.2 revision boards.
50 - Improved firmware uploading. bootloaderhost can now reset the board back
51 to the bootloader.
52 - Display firmware version in scsi2sd-config
53 - Add "--reset" parameter to scsi2sd-config
54
55 20140418 3.4
56 - Critical fix for writes when using non-standard block sizes.
57 - Fix to ensure SCSI phase bits are set atomically.
58 - Always return the requested number of bytes for a REQUEST SENSE command
59 This is required to support the Ensoniq ASR-10.
60 - Decreased (unused) heap and stack sizes to prepare for a memory
61 write cache
62 - Increased the maximum sector size to 8192 bytes.
63
64 20140416 3.3
65 - Fix to SCSI Reset handling to avoid lockups
66 - Bug fixes to improve standards compatibility
67 - Bug fix for Unit Attention Condition, which is now enabled by default.
68 scsi2sd-config can be used to disable it for those systems that
69 truely require it (eg. Mac Plus).
70 - Added Linked commands support.
71 - Added support for configurable sector sizes between 64 and 2048 bytes.
72 The sector size can be set via the MODE SELECT command using a SCSI
73 format utility, or via scsi2sd-config
74 - Powerbook firmware added
75
76 20140214 3.2
77 - Remove hacks around ATN handling, and implement proper select-with-atn
78 support. This fix is essential for communicating with some SCSI hosts.
79 All SCSI2SD users are urged to upgrade to this firmware version.
80 - More fixes to support Apple HD SC Setup (thanks to Doug Brown!)
81 - Fixes to support SCSI1 initiators
82 * Support non-arbitrating initiators.
83 * Support single-initiator option.
84 * Set CCS response format flag in INQUIRY response.
85
86 20131227 3.1
87 - Fixes for better SCSI reset handling
88 - Fix for reading the last sector of the SD card.
89 - Performance improvements. 2.5x read, 2x write performance.
90
91 20131209 3.0.1
92 - Bugfix release.
93 - Fixes to support formatting with Apple HD SC Setup. This is very slow,
94 Apple Drive Setup is preferred
95 - Reliability improvement for rejecting unknown SCSI messages.
96 - Reliability improvements for SD card initialisation and reading.
97
98
99 20131027 3.0
100 - Initial public release.
