History of USB_ModeSwitch ========================= Version 1.1.4, 2010/08/17 The package should work at boot time now (cold and warm); product IDs of "0000" do exist but were not accepted, fixed (thanks to Sakis Dimopoulos); response endpoint is now always detected (led to possible error report when resetting all endpoints in version 1.1.3); wrapper script can now work with a packed collection of config files as well as with the plain folder of files; use with the "install-packed" make target of the data package (for use on systems with resource constraints); wrapper fix for the symlink feature: handling of multiple interrupt ports was incomplete; wrapper does not longer use a temporary file for the symlink feature (security considerations, Marco d'Itri) Version 1.1.3, 2010/06/21 Added delay option to separate multiple message transfers by millisecs; fixed (possibly dangerous) sloppy string handling (thanks to Christophe Fergeau); added "clear_halt" for response endpoint; small additions in Makefile (install with -D); changes in option handling (NO MORE DEFAULT CONFIG FILE!) and help text; symlink feature in wrapper can now cope with devices providing more than one interrupt port; wrapper now ignores package manager leftovers in config folder; replaced bash-specific syntax in wrapper; changed ZTE skipping (if existing rules are found) to warning Version 1.1.2, 2010/04/18 Added support for two additional bulk messages; wrapper handles special ZTE case; generalized driver loading, new parameter "DriverModule" and "DriverIDPath"; new wrapper facility to add symlink pointing to interrupt port (used in rule file from data pack >= 20100418) Version 1.1.1, 2010/03/17 Attention: old usb_modeswitch.conf renamed to usb_modeswitch.setup! Add separate config file for wrapper (global settings for switching and logging); add config file option to disable driver loading; handling of kernel attribute AVOID_RESET_QUIRK added; bug fixed in SonyMode (reported by "no-0n3"); bug fixed in SuccessCheck logic; minor flow alignments and fixes; new devices Version 1.1.0, 2010/01/24 Attention: wrapper script location changed, uninstall old versions! Major fixes in the wrapper script (stabilizing and time-saving); back to unified installation, defaults to "integrated" approach; new -D parameter to enable "integrated" behaviour; bugs fixed in success check; man file included (borrowed from the Debian package); C code and binary works with the compat library from libusb-1.0; some new devices Version 1.0.7, 2010/01/06 Bug fixed for Sony mode, thanks to Marco Chiaranda; fix for parameter substitution in newer udev versions, fix for bad bug in wrapper script practically disabling automatic mode Version 1.0.6, 2009/12/21 New "GCT Mode", fixes for device quirks (NXP Dragonfly), fix for multiple Huawei devices, cleanups, loads of new devices in config file and database, minor tcl script changes Version 1.0.5, 2009/08/26 More changes and fixes regarding success check; "--version" option; config "database" updated Version 1.0.4, 2009/08/23 Success check bugs (and others) fixed Version 1.0.3, 2009/08/20 Success check improved; experimental system integration (fully automated), optional; new parameter "TargetProductList" needed for this; other necessary small adaptations; more devices Version 1.0.2, 2009/06/10 Output bugs fixed Version 1.0.1, 2009/06/08 Added output of descriptor strings for further identification Version 1.0.0, 2009/06/01 Attention: possible incompatibilities for command line control! On/off flags don't require arguments anymore (-H, -S, -O, -d, -R, -n, new: -I), meaning "-R 0" does a reset like "-R 1" or "-R"; long option names changed to standard format (e.g. --HuaweiMode to --huawei-mode); added device inquiry, for future help with device identification; catch error -19 as possible success; send and response endpoints now autoselected (consequently NeedResponse is back); new devices Version 0.9.7, 2009/04/15 Updated SonyMode, MD 400 now stable; automatic default endpoint detection from Andrew Bird Version 0.9.7beta, 2009/03/15 Major code clean up, optional success control (both suggested by Daniel Cooper), new devices Version 0.9.6, 2009/01/08 Special modes added for Sierra and Sony Ericsson, new devices Version 0.9.5, 2008/10/27 New options for USB tuning (jokedst), lots of new devices, clean up Version 0.9.4, 2008/06/09 Compat fix for libusb on FreeBSD quirks, more devices Version 0.9.4beta2, 2008/03/19 Successful udev device release fix Version 0.9.4beta, 2008/03/16 Multiple device support Version 0.9.3, 2008/03/09 More devices, no changes from beta version Version 0.9.3beta, 2007/12/30 New TargetClass parameter for recent Option firmware (Paul Hardwick), more devices Version 0.9.2, 2007/11/02 New Huawei mode (code from Miroslav Bobovsky, added by Denis Sutter), more devices Version 0.9.1beta, 2007/09/04 (jokedst) Added command line parsing, cleaned up config stuff, doc updates Version 0.9beta, 2007/08/15 Name change from "icon_switch", parameter file and generalizing Version 0.2, 2006/09/25 Code cleaning, more messages Version 0.1, 2006/09/24 (as "icon_switch") Just very basic functionality ...
