Hi Anthony, Unfortunately, no. I agree that the wiki should state whether the last release includes support for the device or whether the support is too new. However, keeping the wiki up-to-date would be quite the task, so I'm not sure if that's something feasible for us to do.
I do realize that it's unfortunate for the users, however the Windows nightly build is always up-to-date and I don't mind telling a linux user to build from source. This is open source after all :) All the best, -Soeren On Fri, 2016-10-28 at 01:30 +0100, [email protected] wrote: > Many thanks Soeren, I'll pursue both methods as far as the package > management gurus deem safe :-) > > As a non-developer is there a way I can spot this kind of problem > before, say, buying an oscilloscope for use with sigrok?
