Hello, I'm pleased to announce the first release candidate of libftdi 1.6.
The main driver behind this release is Yegor Yefremov, he keeps pinging me every few weeks/months and he contributed 38 commits in total since the last release in 2020. Thanks a lot Yegor! Additionally we have six new first time contributors. Welcome! Main highlights ------------------ * New ftdi_set_module_detach_mode() API function * ftdi_eeprom / eeprom handling: * Fix checksum calculation for FT230X series * Support readout of "user_data_addr" value * Remove legacy EEPROM fields from FT4232H * Don't set EEPROM serial when it's not used * ftdi_eeprom_initdefaults() now takes const arguments * Don't spam stderr when flashing FT232H eeprom * EEPROM decoder: Show C/D channel mode for FT4232, B channel mode for FT2232C * CMake build system: * Bump minimal required version to 3.15 * Fix building as a subproject * Add SHAREDLIBS option * Fix multiarch support * Rework findlibusb module * Fix static build with libusb and -latomic * Modernize Boost detection for the unit tests when using CMake 3.30+ * Python wrapper: * Update for SWIG 4.3 * Rework Python interpreter and development files detection * Fix race during build of python bindings causing random build failures * Move from distutils to sysconfig * C++ wrapper: Use std::unique_ptr, get rid of the Boost dependency * MSVC/Windows build fixes: * Fix building static library on Windows/MSVC * Fix shadowed variable warnings * Fix warnings by using all enum values in case statements * Quiet uninteresting warnings * Various bug fixes and code improvements: * Fix uninitialized variable warning in ftdi_read_eeprom_location() * Fix GCC fall-through warnings * Fix ftdi_readstream() timeout setting * Don't error out when optional strings are missing * Add .editorconfig file for consistent code style * Ignore various IDE temp files (JetBrains, VSCode, clangd) Please give it some good testing. Final release is planned for the end of the month. Let me know if any important patch is still outstanding or something noteworthy is missing from the changelog above.
