================================================================================

v1.4.3 (2015-07-25)
--------------------------------

This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.3.4

Changes:
  * Fixed zero-padding on end of bursts (#413)
  * API documentation updates


v1.4.2 (2015-07-22)
--------------------------------

This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.3.3

Changes:
  * Paths within the ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} are now searched when looking
    for an FPGA bitstream to autoload.

    LIBBLADERF_SEARCH_PREFIX_OVERRIDE may be defined in the CMake invocation
    to override the ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}, which may be needed during
    cross-builds.

    The previously hard-coded locations have been kept in the search list,
    but at a lower priority, to avoid breaking existing packaging scripts.

--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.3.1

v1.3.0 (2015-06-18)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.3.1

Changes:
  * Added API calls for new frequency tuning support:
    - bladerf_schedule_retune()
    - bladerf_get_quick_tune()
    - bladerf_set_tuning_mode()

  * Added error code: BLADERF_ERR_FPGA_OP
    - Denotes failure in operation performed on FPGA

  * Logo included in repo for documentation build

v1.2.1 (2015-02-28)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.1.2

Changes:
  * Build fixes for MinGW (cross-compilation) and OSX

v1.2.0 (2015-01-31)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.1.2

Changes:
  * Added support for BLADERF_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. This controls
     the default verbosity of libbladeRF and may be set to one of the following
     strings: critical, error, warning, info, debug, verbose.
  * Syslog support has been introduced to aid in debugging of applications that
     suppress libbladeRF's stderr output. This can be enabled at compile-time
     via the ENABLE_LIBBLADERF_SYSLOG CMake option, which defaults to OFF.
  * Linux: A port reset is now performed when opening a device. This addresses
     an issue where the bladeRF could not be opened after an application
     crashes. (Fixes issue #95.)
  * Fixed signal quality issues caused by LPF DC calibration comparators
     being left on. Prior to the associated changes, significant images in the
     spectrum could be observed prior to performing DC calibration routines.
  * Fixed XB-200 signal attenuation issues that occurred when bypassing the
     XB-200 mixer (i.e., operating in the normal bladeRF tuning range with
     an XB-200 attached).
  * LMS DC cal registers are now loaded from tables at every device open()
     rather than just during the post-FPGA load initialization. This ensures
     that values from updated tables are used.
  * Fixed probe() implementation in Cypress backend to correctly report
     devices that are already opened.

v1.1.0 (2014-12-23)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.1.2

Changes:
  * Added bladerf_get_bootloader_list() API function to allow applications to
     detect devices in bootloader mode.
  * Added bladerf_load_fw_from_bootloader() API function to allow applications
     to download firmware to devices in bootloader mode.
  * File searching (e.g., for host-based FPGA loading) now searches the
     following, prior to the currently search paths:
       - The directory specified by the BLADERF_SEARCH_DIR environment variable
       - The current working directory
       - The directory containing the running executable
  * Removed library [INFO] message about detected devices in bootloader mode.
     This is now done in the bladeRF-cli program.
  * Fixed build issue that resulted in libusb version not being reported
     correctly in verbose log output.


v1.0.0 (2014-11-29)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.8.0
FPGA         v0.1.2

Changes:
 * Major version number bumped to indicate stable API.
 * Removed stdbool.h inclusion for C++ code in API header.
 * Fixed USB control transfer issue that caused SPI flash corruption
   in Windows when using libusb with the WinUSB driver.
 * When an FPGA is autoloading from SPI flash, the bladerf_open() and
   bladerf_open_with_devinfo() calls now wait for the autoload to complete.
     * This requires FW v1.8.0.

v0.17.0 (2014-10-30)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.7.1
FPGA         v0.1.1

Changes:
 * Added support for CyUSB3/CyAPI backend
 * Added timestamp metadata support to synchronous interface. This includes
    modifications to the bladerf_metadata structure and the introduction of the
    BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16_Q11_META format.
 * libbladeRF functions have been made thread-safe.
 * The Windows installation directory is now searched when performing
    host-based FPGA and DC calibration file auto-loading.
 * Improved log output; moved output to more appropriate levels and included
    filename and line number log messages.
 * Removed BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16Q12 reverse compatibility macro.
 * Added macro definitions for FPGA configuration bits:
    - BLADERF_GPIO_COUNTER_ENABLE
    - BLADERF_GPIO_TIMESTAMP
    - BLADERF_GPIO_TIMESTAMP_DIV2
 * Fixed bugs that caused deadlocks and crashes.
 * Fixed device probe/open functions to continue searching for devices
    if a failing or busy device is encountered.
 * Improved API documentation and included more complete example usages
    of the synchronous interface. Snippets from programs in doc/examples are
    now included in the Doxygen output.


v0.16.2 (2014-07-24)
--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.7.1
FPGA         v0.0.6

--------------------------------
This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with:

FX3 Firmware v1.7.1

   filterbank selection functions.
 * Introduced FPGA and FX3 version compatibility checks and warnings messages
   when incompatible/unknown versions are detected
 * Fixed set/get loopback mode, with respect to firmware loopback functionality.
   Firmware loopback now requires FW v1.7.1+
 * Bug fixes for:
    + Frequency readback (when XB-200 is attached)
    + Read back of XB-200 path
    + Samplerate-transfer relationship equation in API docs

--------------------------------
 * Added XB-200 support
 * Added experimental DC calibration and DC calibration table support
 * Added "software autoload" of FPGAs and DC cal tables from config directories
    - In Linux & OSX the following directories are searched:
        ~/.config/Nuand/bladeRF/, ~/.Nuand/bladeRF/, /etc/Nuand/bladeRF/
    - In Windows, %APPDATA%/Nuand/bladeRF is searched
 * Added "File not found" (BLADERF_ERR_NO_FILE) return code
 * Allow tuning up to 3.8GHz
 * Fixed incorrect version checks
    - This resolves issue where VCTCXO value stored in SPI Flash
      isn't loaded when using FPGA v0.0.3.
 * Fixed intermittent FPGA load failures


v0.15.0 (2014-05-17)
--------------------------------
 * API changes:

    - Added firmware loopback option (requires FX3 FW v1.7.0+)
    - Changed SPI flash access functions
        + Functions now operate in units of erase blocks and pages
    - Removed un-aligned accesses
 * Overhauled backend interface to decouple device logic from libusb code.
    - Moved code to a generic USB interface and libusb code under
      that interface. This should allow host-specific drivers to be more
      easily integrated.
 * Addressed race conditions in the async RX/TX interface.
    - pthreads is now a required dependency of libbladeRF.
 * Bug fixes for the sync RX/TX interface

--------------------------------
 * Normalized DC offset functions to accept values in [-2048, 2048]
    - Additional range checking added

      BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16_Q11.
    - Fixed names of transfer timeout functions:
        get/set_transfer_timeout() -> bladerf_get/set_transfer_timeout()

 * During initialization, the device is switched to USB_IF_NULL in order to
   ensure it is in a known state.


v0.11.2 (2014-01-14)
--------------------------------
 * Switch to USB_IF_NULL when closing a device to avoid issues when attempting
   to reopen a device on OSX


v0.11.1(.1) (2014-01-05)
--------------------------------
 * Fixed race conditions caused by use of bladerf_enable_module() in the
