Since 2014.09-rc1, there have been a number of bug fixes. We wanted to ensure
these fixes were provided at a relatively stable "snapshot" in the codebase,
prior to introducing a slightly large of set of internal changes required
to provide the timestamp support and thread-safety.
As such, these changes are have been marked 2014.09-rc2, and the late-August
milestone has been been renamed to 2014.09-rc3. The objectives for the
late-August and September and milestones remain.
This release candidate consists of the following versions:
- FPGA bitstream v0.0.6
- FX3 firmware v1.7.1
- libbladeRF v0.16.2
- bladeRF-cli v0.11.1
In addition to continued fixes and minor improvements, the remaining
major functionality, now scheduled for RC3 is:
- Metadata/timestamp support for the libbladeRF synchronous interface
- Experimental Cypress driver-based libbladeRF backend for Windows
The above items will add additional items to the libbladeRF API, but will not
introduce any reverse-incompatible changes.
The items scheduled for deprecation are largely the same since 2014.09-rc1
- bladeRF-flash has been removed as of 2014.09-rc2
- libbladeRF's BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16Q11 will be removed prior to 2014.09-rc3
Outstanding tasks and known issues, as of RC2, are listed below. Note that not
all of these are scheduled for resolution by 2014.09. Please see the milestone
and tracker information GitHub for more information.
