Fri Feb 2 05:20:16 UTC 2018 - avindra@opensuse.org
|
|
|
|
- Update to version 3.1
|
|
* Added the --raise-dtr and --raise-rts options, for symmetry with
|
|
--lower-dtr and --lower-rts (see manual page for details)
|
|
* Better build support for custom baudrates. Now custom baudrate
|
|
support is enabled by default for some systems
|
|
* You can always explicitly enable custom baudrate support for
|
|
other systems and you can explicitly disable it, even for the
|
|
systems it is automatically enabled for (see Makefile).
|
|
* To see if custom baudrate support is enabled in your build, run
|
|
picocom with the --help command-line option.
|
|
- Includes 3.0
|
|
* Added the --logfile command line option
|
|
* Added the --lower-rts and --lower-dtr command-line options.
|
|
These options lower (reset) the respective modem control lines
|
|
of the serial port, as soon as picocom starts and the port
|
|
is configured.
|
|
* Added the --initstring (or -t) command line option. This option
|
|
can be used to send an initialization string to the serial port
|
|
when picocom starts.
|
|
* Added the --exit-after (or -x) command line option. Causes
|
|
picocom to exit if it becomes idle for the specified time.
|
|
* Added the -exit (or -X) command line option. Causes picocom to
|
|
exit immediately after opening and configuring the serial port.
|
|
* Added the --quiet (or -q) command line option. Suppress output
|
|
from picocom that was not explicitly requested by the user.
|
|
Errors and command responses are still printed.
|
|
* Added the --no-escape (or -n) command line option. Disables the
|
|
escape character. If given picocom will never enter command mode.
|
|
* Added the --hangup (or -u) comand line option. If given
|
|
together with --noreset, picocom will not reset the serial port
|
|
to it's original settings on exit, but it will clear the modem
|
|
control lines (typically DTR and RTS) to signal a modem hangup.
|
|
* Added the [C-g] command that toggles the state of the RTS modem
|
|
. control line.
|
|
* Added the [C-w] command (write hex) that pompts the user for a
|
|
string of hexadecimal values to be converted to binary and sent
|
|
to the port.
|
|
* Added "to hex" character mappings (???hex), which replace
|
|
characters with their hexadecimal representation. For more see
|
|
issue #75, and the INPUT, OUTPUT, AND ECHO MAPPING section in
|
|
the picocom manual.
|
|
* Standard input can now be a non-tty (e.g a file or a pipe).
|
|
Useful in some occasions for doing trivial non-interactive stuff.
|
|
* Changed the way picocom handles reading zero-bytes from the
|
|
standard input. Now picocom waits for the output queue to be
|
|
transmitted before exiting, or waits to become idle before
|
|
exiting (if the --exit-after option is given). See the new
|
|
section EXITING PICOCOM in the manual for details.
|
|
* Picocom's serial port output queue is now dynamically growable.
|
|
You can still set an upper limit when compiling picocom, or
|
|
allow it to grow as much as your system's memory allows.
|
|
Usueful, for example, for doing huge copy-pastes.
|
|
* Fixed some minor backwards compatibility issues. Now you can use
|
|
command-line options compatible with 1.x.
|
|
* Now SIGINT, as well as SIGTERM, can kill picocom. May be useful
|
|
when the standard input is not a tty.
|
|
- Includes 2.2
|
|
* Improvement to read-buffering which can noticeably reduce CPU
|
|
load under high baudrates.
|
|
- Includes 2.0
|
|
* The "change-databits" command-key has been reasigned (from C-b
|
|
to C-i); to make room for the new command "set baudrate" (C-b,
|
|
see below), and for some symmetry with the new "set stopbits"
|
|
command (C-j)
|
|
* The short option letter for the --parity command line option has
|
|
been changed from -p to -y; to leave -p for the new --stopbits
|
|
command-line option (see below).
|
|
* The default name for the history file has been changed to:
|
|
'.picocom_history' (in the user's home dir).
|
|
* The default input buffer size TTY_Q_SZ has been increased to
|
|
32KB. You can change it by editing the Makefile if you wish.
|
|
* You can now select between 1 or 2 stopbits for the serial port,
|
|
either via command-line option (--stopbits) or via command (C-j).
|
|
* Added new command (C-b) that allows you to enter a baudrate
|
|
numerically. This is particularly useful if you have compiled-in
|
|
the "custom baudrates" feature (see below), as it allows you to
|
|
enter arbitrary baudrate values. The old baud-up (C-u) and baud-down
|
|
(C-d) commands are still available.
|
|
* Added command that prints a list of all available command-keys
|
|
(C-h or C-k).
|
|
* It is now possible to disable the send- and receive-file commands
|
|
(C-s, and C-r) by supplying an empty string as the argument to
|
|
the --send-cmd and --receive-cmd options, respectively. When
|
|
both commands are disabled, picocom no longer forks or executes
|
|
any external programs.
|
|
* Picocom no longer uses /bin/sh to run external commands for
|
|
file-transfer operations. Parsing the command line and spliting
|
|
it into arguments is now performed internally by picocom, using
|
|
quoting rules very similar to those of the Unix shell. Hopefully,
|
|
this makes it impossible to inject shell-commands when supplying
|
|
filenames and extra arguments to the send- and receive-file
|
|
commands.
|
|
* Much improved serial-port settings handling and reporting.
|
|
Whenever a port-setting is changed (baud-rate, parity,
|
|
flow-control, etc) by a command, the serial port attributes are
|
|
re-read, and if found different from the requested value, both
|
|
values are displayed (first the requested, then the actual in
|
|
parenthesis). The show-status command (C-v) also re-reads the
|
|
actual terminal attributes and displays both: the requested
|
|
values and the actual terminal settings (if they differ). This
|
|
way C-v is able to "see" changes made to the serial-port outside
|
|
of picocom (or changes made from within picocom but silently
|
|
ignored by the serial port driver---which happens).
|
|
* The show-status command (C-v) also displays the current status
|
|
of the modem control lines (DTR, DSR, DCD, RTS, CTS, and RI)
|
|
if available.
|
|
* Picocom is now more clever regarding its output (writting to the
|
|
serial port) pacing. It no longer calls write(2) to send (overly)
|
|
large chucks to the tty in a single gulp. It limits the amount
|
|
of data write(2) can send to the tty on a single call, based on
|
|
the port's baud rate. This way no huge output buffers (relative
|
|
to the baud-rate) accumulate, and they don't take "forever" to
|
|
drain.
|
|
* Added support for setting custom (arbitrary) serial-port baud
|
|
rates. With this compiled-in you can, for example, set the
|
|
serial-port's baudrate to 42000 bps, or 1234 bps, or other such
|
|
arbitrary values. Custom baudrates can be set either through
|
|
the command-line option (--baud), or using the new command "set
|
|
baudrate* (C-b). By default the USE_CUSTOM_BAUD feature is NOT
|
|
compiled in. You have to comment-in the respective lines in the
|
|
Makefile and recompile picocom to enable it.
|
|
* Added compile-time option (NO_HELP) that allows you to compile
|
|
picocom without including any help strings. Disabled by default.
|
|

Sun Aug 16 14:58:08 UTC 2015 - p.drouand@gmail.com
|
|
|
|
- Update to version 1.8
|
|
* Adds support for the "linenoise" library, which allows line-editing
|
|
and path completion when entering filenames for receive- and
|
|
send-file operations. Support can be compiled-out if you wish.
|
|
* Allows you to cancel a file-transfer operation, while entering a
|
|
file name, by pressing C-c. This works with linenoise support and without.
|
|
* Adds support for more high baud-rates.
|
|
Now every baudrate above 115200 is compiled-in only if the respective
|
|
macros are defined in the system header files. This should allow
|
|
picocom with HIGH_BAUD support to compile cleanly for more systems.
|
|
* Input-buffer size (TTY_Q_SZ) now defined in Makefile, and defaults to 1024.
|
|
* Adds support for locking using flock(2) (now default). Old-style
|
|
UUCP-lockdir code is maintained. Preferred locking style is selected
|
|
via the Makefile.
|
|
* Debian's xmltoman is now used to format the manpage.
|
|
* Other minor fixes.
|
|
- Changes from version 1.7
|
|
* No ChangeLog available
|
|
- Update download and project Urls
|
|
- Perform a spec-cleaner on the spec file

|
|
|
|
- updated to picocom 1.6
|
|
* Added features:
|
|
- Local echo

|
|
of the odd-parity mode
|
|
* Allow non-alpha escape keys (e.g. C-])
