New in 1.7.0:
Drivers: * New PN532 over I2C driver, see contrib/libnfc/pn532_i2c_on_rpi.conf.sample API Changes: * New function iso14443b_crc_append() New in 1.7.0-rc7: Drivers: * New PN532 over SPI driver, see contrib/libnfc/pn532_spi_on_rpi.conf.sample API Changes: * Functions - nfc_initiator_target_is_present() & str_nfc_target(): now take a pointer to nfc_target as argument - nfc_init(): upon malloc error, doesn't force exit() anymore so now you should test if context != NULL after nfc_init() call New in 1.7.0-rc5: API Changes: * Functions - New nfc_register_driver() function allowing to hook custom drivers. New in 1.7.0-rc3: API Changes: * Functions - Add timeout param to nfc_emulate_target() New in 1.7.0-rc2: Configuration: libnfc can now use a configuration file for special setups, or features activation. This file (/etc/nfc/libnfc.conf under GNU/Linux systems) supports already some keywords: - "allow_autoscan" to enable/disable device auto-detection feature; - "allow_intrusive_scan" to enable/disable intrusive auto-detection (ie. serial port probing); - "log_level" to select library verbosity; - "device.name" and "device.connstring" to define a user device, this is the recommended method if user has a not easily detectable device (ie. a serial one). It is also possible to define devices using dedicated configuration files and put them into device search directory (/etc/nfc/devices.d under GNU/Linux). Example for the OpenPCD2: create /etc/nfc/devices.d/openpcd2.conf with: name = "OpenPCD2" connstring = "pn532_uart:/dev/ttyACM0" optional = true The keyword "optional" does not mandate the device to be present always (it detects if the reader is indeed present before using it) API Changes: * Types - New NFC_ESOFT error to handle software errors (allocations, pipe creation, etc.) * Functions - Remove nfc_get_default_device() function: the default device is now the first in nfc_list_devices() or could be open using NULL connstring with nfc_open() function. - New enum-to-string converter functions str_nfc_modulation_type() and str_nfc_baud_rate() - New str_nfc_target() to convert nfc_target struct into allocated string - New nfc_device_get_information_about() function to retreive some device's information - No more in/out function parameter: nfc_initiator_transceive_*() now take a constant size for Rx buffer - New nfc_initiator_target_is_present() to test is the previously selected target is available in the field - nfc_initiator_transceive_bytes() returns NFC_EMFCAUTHFAIL when AUTH command failed on a Mifare Classic - New nfc_initiator_init_secure_element() to initiate a connection with secure element (Only supported with a PN532 with SAM equipped) New in 1.6.0-rc1: API Changes: * Types - '_t' suffix removed from all types (e.g. nfc_device_t is now nfc_device) - All errors removed in flavour of NFC_EIO, NFC_EINVARG, NFC_EDEVNOTSUPP, NFC_ENOTSUCHDEV, NFC_EOVFLOW, NFC_ETIMEOUT, NFC_EOPABORTED, NFC_ENOTIMPL, NFC_ETGRELEASED, NFC_ERFTRANS, NFC_ECHIP and NFC_SUCCESS - nfc_device_desc_t replaced by nfc_connstring: libnfc now uses connection strings to describe a device - byte_t typedef removed, libnfc now uses uint8_t from C99 - nfc_device is now an opaque type - nfc_properties replaces nfc_options * Functions - New nfc_get_default_device() function that allows to grab the connstring stored in LIBNFC_DEFAULT_DEVICE environnement variable or returns the first available device if not set - New nfc_device_get_connstring() accessor function to know the device connstring - New nfc_device_set_property_bool() function that replace nfc_configure() - New nfc_device_set_property_int() function to set integer property - nfc_device_name() renamed to nfc_device_get_name() for the sake of consistency - New nfc_device_get_last_error() function, an accessor to last error occured - Whole libnfc's functions now return 0 (NFC_SUCCESS) or positive value if appropriated on success and libnfc's error code on failure - nfc_connect(), nfc_disconnect() renamed to nfc_open(), nfc_close() respectively - Add 2 new functions: initialization and deinitialization functions: nfc_init() and nfc_exit() - New nfc_device_get_supported_modulation() and nfc_device_get_supported_baud_rate() functions * Dependencies - log4c is not anymore used for debugging facility.
