Changelog

Hint: If you actually need an old revision, hover over the bullet in front of the desired release.

• RELEASE-2.1.5 (2020-03-21)

• Fix: initial connection of the logger needs a delay.

• RELEASE-2.1.4 (2014-05-03)

• Fix: in python3, --data-format didn’t work as there strings have no decode() method.

• RELEASE-2.1.3 (2014-04-12)

• The previous python3 patch was incomplete. In addition, it made the script no longer work with python2.
  Note to self: test before releasing software.

• RELEASE-2.1.2 (2014-03-28)

• Port to python3 [via patch from Thomas Kittel]

• RELEASE-2.1.1 (2011-01-08)

• Fixed error code interpretation. In some circumstances (depending on the values to be read) data was incorrectly interpreted as an error.

• RELEASE-2.1.0 (2010-02-26)

• Fixed an undetected bug which prevented the logger from being found on Mac OS X.
• Renamed tfd128 to tfd128_cli.py there’s a tfd128 shell script for backwards compatibility.
• Potential incompatibility: renamed short option for --debug from -d to -g.
• Added new commandline option --device (short: -d) so the user can specify the device to be used.
• Potential incompatibility: the class Tfd128 no longer tries to find the serial device itself.
• Updated INSTALLATION notes for Ubuntu 9.04.

• RELEASE-2.0.4 (2009-12-30)

• Fixed uninitialized variable access. This bug should have been fixed in 2.0.3 already.

• RELEASE-2.0.2 (2008-02-22)

• Fix: nothing was written, when -o was not specified.

• RELEASE-2.0.1 (2008-02-21)

• Fix: the default data format produced an additional column when only the temperature was recorded.

• RELEASE-2.0.0 (2008-02-20)

• Major code rewrite; note that the new implementation of the Tfd128 class itself is incompatible with the 1.x releases, but should be easier to use now. Application and class have been split into separate files. The tfd128.py file now only contains the Tfd128 class. The application part has been moved into tfd128.
• The progress bar is now off by default when printing to stdout. Also, the heading line in the output data has been removed.
• Both the date/time format and the output data format can be changed via the command line.
• Both the standalone script and the class itself are now documented.
