in the 4bit and 8bit wiring. This fixes problems with flickering backlight if
a slow parallel port is used. IMPORTANT: This may require a hardware change!
* In code comments use the same line names as in the user's guide (Y1/X1
instead of Y0/X0).
* Add documentation about hd44780-ftdi's 4bit mode.
- port_access_full is now called port_access_multiple and has a count parameter (LPT port stuff should be in lpt-port.h)
- Updated calling source files too
- Added support for ports in higher range, so that PCI LPT cards will work too (but I can't test this myself...)
- Enhanced formatting of in-file documentation a bit
- Updated docs of port.h in lcdproc-dev
- supports new API
- major clean up, more consistent code
- uses configfile options
- serialLpt works also with only 2 output lines
- serialLpt can now use keypad
serial port side. Also fixed problems with ioperm on the parallel port
side.
Added --waittime option to the server to specify how long the server
should leave a screen up before changing to the next screen.
as argument introducers. in 0.4-pre10, these were changed
from foo to -foo and this broke many clients. This change
should fix that and be backward/forward compatible.
+ Added a noop function to the protocol. This is useful for writing
shell script clients of LCDproc.
+ Changed the shared sock_send_string function to NOT send the
ending NUL ('\0') byte with the string. This was confusing
in Perl clients which saw NUL's as the first character of
each reply. WARNING: The LCDPROC client depended on this
behavior, your client may too. Use the newline instead.
See the code in clients/lcdproc/main.c (look for "switch(buf[i])")
to see one way to handle this. This should allow new clients
to connect to old servers and vice-versa.
+ Messed with include structure in .c files. It should no longer
be necessary to specify ../.. to get to shared code headers.
Also, since we are using automake, the global config.h can be
found with just #include "config.h" as it's location is included
in a -I to the compilers. As a result "make distcheck" now works.
Passed *every* piece of source in this project through indent. I'm setting
things up with ctags soon and am actually going to *gasp* use a nice
programming environment to continue development in. :)
