2016.01-rc1 (2016-01-07)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release introduces new functionality and bug fixes. It consists of the
following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.5.0
* FX3 firmware v1.9.0
* libbladeRF v1.5.1
* bladeRF-cli v1.3.1
* MATLAB & Simulink bindings v0.1.1
New Features:
* MATLAB & Simulink
- An object-oriented MATLAB interface has been introduced. This is
implemented as bindings atop of libbladeRF, and will be maintained
alongside libbladeRF in the libbladeRF_bindings/matlab directory.
- Simulink support is provided via the above MATLAB interface
and the Simulink System Object block.
* libbladeRF, bladeRF-cli:
- XB-100 support added
* FPGA, libbladeRF, bladeRF-cli:
- A 1.8V 1 PPS or 10 MHz input may be supplied to the device to
tame the on-board VCTCXO
* FX3 Firmware, libbladeRF, bladeRF-cli:
- A simple logging mechanism has been introduced. This allows the
host to retrieve error codes and the source lines at which they occurred.
* FX3 Firmware:
- Updated for Cypress FX3 SDK v1.3.3
* Miscellaneous:
- Revised and MIT-licensed DC calibration routines are now available
in host/common/.
The following issue tracker items have been closed since the 2015.07 release:
* Pull Requests:
- #437: debian: firmware to v1.8.1, fpga to v0.4.1

2015.07 (2015-07-25)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release introduces minor feature additions and bug fixes. It consists of
the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.3.4
* FX3 firmware v1.8.0
* libbladeRF v1.4.3
* bladeRF-cli v1.2.1
New Features:
* libbladeRF:
- bladerf_open() and bladerf_open_with_devinfo() support matching a
device via a subset of its serial number.
For example, the bladeRF-cli uses bladerf_open() to open a specifed
device, so the following can now be used to open a device with the
serial number, f12ce1037830a1b27f3ceeba1f521413:
bladeRF-cli -i -d "*:serial=f12"
* Miscellaneous
- Added Octave/MATLAB routines to import/export data from files
containing complex samples from GNU Radio.

2014.12-rc1 (2014-12-23)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release candidate introduces some minor additions to libbladeRF and the
bladeRF-cli program. See the CHANGELOG items associated with these items for
more details.
This release consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.1.2
* FX3 firmware v1.8.0
* libbladeRF v1.1.0
* bladeRF-cli v1.1.0
Major changes include:
* Introduction of libbladeRF support for bootloader detection and recovery.
With this change, the Cypress backend should now be fully-functional.
* Added libbladeRF file search path options (e.g., for host-based FPGA
autoloading).
* Moved message about detecting devices in bootloader mode to bladeRF-cli.
This was original printed by some lower-level libbladeRF code, and deemed
more appropriately located in the bladeRF-cli program.
The following tracker items have been closed since the 2014.11 release:
* Enhancement requests:
- #361: Make bladeRF-cli --probe vary its exit status based on whether
a device was found or not

2014.11 (2014-11-30)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release introduces a stable libbladeRF API and various fixes.
No further reverse-incompatible API changes are currently scheduled. Should such
changes be required in the future, they will be denoted through a major version
number increment.
This release consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.1.2
* FX3 firmware v1.8.0
* libbladeRF v1.0.0
* bladeRF-cli v1.0.0
Major fixes include:
* libbladeRF now waits for SPI flash autoloading to complete when
opening a device. This requires FX3 Firmware v1.8.0.
* FPGA v0.1.2 includes fixes in timestamp functionality.
* An issue causing SPI flash corruption when using libusb with the WinUSB
driver has been addressed.

2014.11-rc3 (2014-10-30)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This 2014.11-rc3 release candidate introduces the remaining functionality
originally intended for a 2014.09 release, as well as a number of improvements
and bug fixes. As denoted by the name, the release has been rescheduled for
November 2014.
This release candidate consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.1.1
* FX3 firmware v1.7.1
* libbladeRF v0.17.0
* bladeRF-cli v0.12.0
Major changes and additions include:
* Timestamp metadata support for the libbladeRF synchronous interface
- Example code is included in the API documentation and available
in the libbladeRF/doc/examples directory.
- This is tightly-coupled with functionality and fixes introduced
by FPGA v0.1.1.
* A majority of libbladeRF functions have been made thread-safe.
* libbladeRF support for a Cypress CyUSB3/CyAPI-based backend
- This backend has been found to be a useful alternative on some
systems with USB3 controllers that exhibit issues with the libusb
backend implementation.
* Fixes for LMS DC calibration issues
- FPGA fixes in v0.1.1 have addressed a timing issue that corrupted
LMS register readbacks. This fixes issue #269, in which LMS DC
calibration registers would become corrupted and read back as 31's.
- A bladeRF-cli change in v0.12.0 fixed issue #304, where TX DC
calibration would fail, reporting that invalid values were
encountered.
The remaining window of time up to the first official release is intended for
documentation improvements and bug fixes. New features or major changes will be
held off until the following cycle; they may be staged in a master-next branch
if needed.

2014.09-rc2 (2014-07-24)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 2014.09-rc1, there have been a number of bug fixes. We wanted to ensure
these fixes were provided at a relatively stable "snapshot" in the codebase,
prior to introducing a slightly large of set of internal changes required
to provide the timestamp support and thread-safety.
As such, these changes are have been marked `2014.09-rc2`, and the late-August
milestone has been been renamed to `2014.09-rc3`. The objectives for the
late-August and September and milestones remain.
This release candidate consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.0.6
* FX3 firmware v1.7.1
* libbladeRF v0.16.2
* bladeRF-cli v0.11.1
In addition to continued fixes and minor improvements, the remaining
major functionality, now scheduled for RC3 is:
* Metadata/timestamp support for the libbladeRF synchronous interface
* Experimental Cypress driver-based libbladeRF backend for Windows
The above items will add additional items to the libbladeRF API, but will not
introduce any reverse-incompatible changes.
The items scheduled for deprecation are largely the same since 2014.09-rc1
* bladeRF-flash has been removed as of 2014.09-rc2
* libbladeRF's BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16Q11 will be removed prior to 2014.09-rc3
Outstanding tasks and known issues, as of RC2, are listed below. Note that not
all of these are scheduled for resolution by 2014.09. Please see the milestone
and tracker information GitHub for more information.
