Subject: [rtl] [announce] comedi-0.7.40, comedilib-0.7.9


Everyone's favorite collection of open-source data acquisition
drivers has been updated again.  New, fresh souce code is available
for you to crash your machine with, at ftp://stm.lbl.gov/pub/comedi.

Also, there is a 1-line bug fix for comedilib-0.7.8, which is
triggered occasionally by the new code.  Don't bother upgrading
comedilib unless you notice problems.  (The problem is: every
program crashes immediately.)

Bug fixes in this release:

  - elimination of a rather nasty memory leak
  - general bug chasing in dt2801 driver

New drivers:

  - ii_pci20kc for Intelligent Instruments PCI-20001C carrier board,
    thanks to Markus Kempf
  - pcl812 for Advantech PCL-812PG, PCL813B and compatibles, thanks to
    Michal Dobes
  - Two virtual drivers that use real-time tasks to emulate features
    on advance data acquisition hardware (not really new, but...)

New features:

  - new Comedi command structure/ioctl actually works, several drivers
    have been updated for it.
  - comedi_data_*() and comedi_dio_*() functions have been ported
    from comedilib to kcomedilib
  - range information is now fully modularized, basically a completion
    of driver modularization in the mid .30s.
  - all boards now use the same timer specification for sampling rates
  - new code that, as a side effect, triggers a bug in comedilib
  - updated and enhanced the INSTALL file
  - included new INSTALL.RTAI and INSTALL.RTLinux files
