| SUPPORTED HARDWARE |
| ================== |
| All EuroBraille's displays should be supported here. However it has been tested |
| on the following hardware: |
| - a Clio-Notebraille (20,40,80); |
| - a Scriba (20,40); |
| - an Azerbraille (40,80); |
| - a Clio-PupiBraille (80); |
| - an Iris (S20, S32, 40, KB40); |
| - an EsyS (12,40,64). |
| - The driver is also tested with a NoteBraille display in order to |
| maintain backward compatibility. |
| |
| |
| FIXES/ADDITIONS |
| =============== |
| Version 2.0.0: |
| - Complete rewrite of the whole driver to support new EsysIris |
| protocol (serial and ethernet connection supported). |
| - Support Iris (firmware 1.71 and later) |
| - Support ESYS 12/40 display. |
| - Ability to autodetect which protocol to use. |
| |
| Version 1.3.4: |
| - Support the suspend/resume BRLTTY feature. |
| |
| Version 1.3.3: |
| - Corrected several bugs in write/read operations; |
| - Corrected several key bugs on Iris models. |
| |
| Version 1.3.2: |
| - Remade the brl_ReadPacket and brl_WritePacket, to allow writting of |
| low-level packets and error code retrieving; |
| - Full Iris support; |
| |
| Version 1.3.1: |
| - Many code cleanups; |
| - Corrected AzerBraille 40 Programming keys bugs; |
| - Added a LOG_IO define to log in/out packets to a file; |
| - Started to debug the Iris identification failures, still not work |
| perfectly; |
| |
| Version 1.3 : |
| - Made the driver BrlAPI compatible |
| - The transfer code has been removed: it will be now in a separate |
| program, called `tp' (in progress). |
| - code cleanups; |
| |
| Version 1.2 : |
| - Significantly reduced the size of the sourcecode: propper and easier |
| to understand/customize; |
| - Added LCD support; |
| - Beta new Iris 20/32/40 support, not tested yet; |
| - Re-added Cut-n-paste routines: it was disabled, don't know why... |
| |
| Version 1.1a : |
| - Minor changes to function-keys to make the program easier to |
| undepstand. |
| - The on-line help function disappeared, and is replaced by the |
| CMD_LEARN (learn mode) function directly implemented within BrlTty. |
| |
| |
| Version 1.1: |
| - Fixed bugs due to changes of brltty core functions |
| - Changed keys' insertion: We now use sequencial mode for meta and |
| control keys, to allow more combinations. Moreover the input table is |
| now attached to the output table. |
| |
| Version 1.0 : |
| - added an internal menu to allow console switching or to enter in the |
| help menu. |
| Here, a Scriba-like interface was implemented. Read the "README.menu" |
| file if you didn't use a Scriba (or the Draculawin program) before to |
| learn more about this menu. |
| - When the drivers starts, it now plays a melody on the terminal's |
| internal speaker. |
| This was made to ensure the user that the driver is loaded and is |
| ready to be used. |
| |
| Version 0.9: |
| - You can now view the internal date/time of your display, typing "#M" |
| (or "Alpha+L9" on a Scriba). This doesn't work very well - don't know |
| why... |
| |
| Version 0.8: |
| - Minor changes were made in the use of the "inskey()" function. |
| - Fixed bugs in the ViewOn() and the Program() functions. |
| |
| Version 0.7: |
| - Added the "Programming" and the "View on" functions. Their respective |
| behaviors are as in the DOS program (ReadBraille). See the |
| "README.model" file where "Model" is the name of your display. |
| Actually, files are written for the Clio-Notebraille and the Scriba |
| displays. |
| |
| Version 0.6: |
| - Fixed the "enter bug": The "\n" inserted code is now replaced by |
| "\x0D". |
| |
| Version 0.5: |
| - Added the ability for the user to type letters directly from his/her |
| terminal. The table implemented is the CBIFS (French) table. |
| |
| Comments are strongly welcomed, because I don't know how many people use the |
| EuroBraille version of BRLTTY in the world so if you use this driver, just |
| e-mail us what are your suggestions for next versions. |
