Release notes 2.8p0
1. W1 (the linux kernel module now called "wire") that handles several types
of 1wire bus masters is now supported as a surrogate bus master.
A. Includes usb, i2c and some architecture-specific gpio (OMAP and ARM)
B. Bus masters are added and removed dynamically based on netlink messages
from the kernel
C. Need Kernel version 2.6.31+ for best performance
D. Use "--w1" on the command line
E. Linux-specific
F. Must be run as root.
G. using -usb will supercede the w1 usb (since the ds2490.ko module is
unloaded)
This meas that there are now 3 means of dynamically adding bus masters:
A. --uscan (via a libusb scanning loop)
B. --w1 (via the kernel module and netlink messages)
C. --zero (via Avahi or Bonjour for owservers)
2. New ./configure option for bus traffic display
./configure --enable-owtraffic
Byte data from the various bus (i2c, usb, serial, network) are sent to
stderr
3. Minor fix for libownet read not including a NULL at the end of the
string.
4. Clean up "simultaneous" handling
