From 0.8 to 0.9
# iEQ45 GoTo German Equatorial Mount Driver. # INDI::Base drivers are now used for most classes of astrnomical instruments. # New improved QSI CCD & Filter driver. # New improved Starlight Xpress CCD & Filter driver. # New improved RoboFocus driver. # libboost is no longer required to build libindi. # Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements. From 0.7.2 to 0.8 # TCF-S Focuser driver. # Synscan Telescope driver. From 0.7.0 to 0.7.1 # Fixed change filter bug in true technology filter wheel. (JM) # setINDI updated and improved. (ED) # Improved INDI::Mediator functionality. (JM) # Fixed buffer reading in INDI::BaseClient. (JM) # Add new tutorial for INDI::BaseClient. (JM). From 0.6.2 to 0.7.0 # Dynamic renaming of drivers upon run time. # Standard helper API to create and utilize INDI clients. # Ability to load driver properties from an external XML file. # Ability to write/read XML configuration files for driver values to be loaded at run time. # Facilitating debugging and simulation of drivers. # New C++ framework to facilitate the development of new INDI drivers. # Several bug fixes for current drivers and framework. From 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 # Build related updates. From 0.6 to 0.6.1 # Updating drivers.xml to comply to new XML structure for group and devices metadata descriptions. From 0.5 to 0.6 # Devices: + Astrophysics mount is now working. + Apogee driver is now working. # Features: + New libindi structure to streamline development. + Drivers using Standard Property _REQUEST WO to make requests. This facilitates scripting and automation of drivers. + Updated inter-driver communication with INDI SNOOP. From 0.4 to 0.5 # Devices: + True Technology Filter Wheel + SBIG STV # Features: + Added INDI Observer pattern to enable flexible inter-driver communication. + getINDI now supports BLOBs. + LX200 Drivers use client timestamp to update the telescope internal clock. The old behavior was to use to system's time. + Added a new INDI Standard Property: UTC_OFFSET. + Dropping threaded INDI server in favor of the slightly better non-threaded version due to performance considerations. # Bugs + SBIG CCD driver was updated to fix problems with CFITSIO. + Updated TTY API to include error reporting, in addition to fixing a few bugs. + Fixed INDI Mac OSX Crash. # Known Issues + Astrophysics Mount driver (apmount) is not working. It is currently under new development and is intented to be released in the next version as it matures. + Meade LPI exposure is locked to 1 second. The Video4Linux support for timed exposures is limited. A fix should be available in the next release. + The SBIG driver does not allow autoguiding. When one selects the guider CCD, any exposure on the imaging CCD is cancelled and vice-versa. From v0.3 to v0.4: # Devices: + SBIG CCD + SBIG CFW + RoboFocus + FLI Precision Focuser + Orion Atlas / Sky Scan # Other: + Added more API documentation and revised existing documentation for accuracy and consistency. + Fixed UTC correction bug in LX200 driver. + Fixed pallete selection in V4L 2 drivers. + Fixed bug in eventloop that can cause IE timers to crash. + Added variable focus speed for Meade Autostar and GPS. + Added CFITSIO, a mature and robust FITS library. + New RS232 API for common access routines. From v0.2 to v0.3: # Devices: + Apogee CCD (Experimental) + SkyCommander + Temma Takahashi + FLI Filter Wheel + Meade Lunar Planetary Imager (Experimental) + Astrophysics AP # Other: + Support for Video 4 Linux 2 + Multi-threaded INDI server + Binary transfer via BLOB + INDI scripting tools + Various bug fixing INDI Library v1.0 conforms to INDI wire protocol v1.6 |
