- Correct arbitrary baud setting.
1.3.0 2007-07-20 (Kees)
- SerialPort.{pm,xs}, configure.ac:add arbitrary baud rate setting
as suggested by Steven Michalske.
- Disabled default port tests, initial switch to Test::More.
1.2.1 2007-06-16 (Kees)
- SerialPort.pm: correction to READ by Martin Hans

1.2.0 2004-11-09 (Kees)
- configure.ac: corrected version number here too.
- SerialPort.pm: added wait_modemlines, intr_count.
- SerialPort.xs, configure.ac:added TIOCMIWAIT, TIOCGICOUNT
- white space cleanups.
1.0.2 2004-05-10 (Kees)
- Makefile.PL: added an OSX serial port default
- SerialPort.pm: patch for EOF handling by Arne Georg Gleditsch.
On a read for more than 0 bytes, and "select" finishes, but
we get a 0 back, then we assume EOF.
- corrected version in .spec file.
1.0.1 2004-03-29 (Kees)
- small typo in bits processing for can_ioctl (thanks to
Rick Ballard and John Eng for finding this!)
1.0.0 2004-02-23 (Kees)
- fixed logic in READ tie function from Jaakko Yli-Luukko
- added RPM .spec packaging support
- adding debian packaging support
- updated version number to first stable release
- fixing up failure return codes in data,parity,flow functions
- cleaning up default settings for parmrk, istrip, etc
- split off stty_parmrk
- setting defaults of 9600, 8N1, no flow in "new"
- added MS_DTR_ON and MS_DSR_ON
- clearly documenting "carrier" bit
- added automatic system baud rate detection
- added modem line reporting to "modemtest"
- documented "modemtest"
- I think I finally found the parity problem that has been
plauging this code since I took it over!
0.22 2003-06-18 (Kees)
- added a notice about 4096 read limits on some machines
noticed by Ed Morandi.
- built an rpm .spec file with the help of cpan2rpm.
- adding TESTPORT=... as a Makefile.PL option to not step on
MakeMaker's feet.
- making "modemtest" an installable script (which adds #! to top).
- cleaning up "modemtest" args and output.
- reversing configure report so "best" case reports "yes" for all.
- handling ancient libcs with odd POSIX.pm SCCLK_TCK behavior
with diagnostic help from David Dyck
- added test case explicitly for get_tick_count
0.21 2003-06-12 (Kees)
- don't release files at midnight any more: forgot SerialPort.xs
0.20 2003-06-12 (Kees)
- fixed some truth bugs found by David Dyck <david.dyck@fluke.com>
- totally rewrote serial bit detection code to use "normal"
perl XS routines. Had to even toss in a "configure" script
to make it really robust.
- jumped up to version 0.20 just because it's just a big change
to the build process. Everything else appears undisturbed, but
I want to give some time for testing it out on other
architectures.
0.13 2002-05-31 (Kees)
0.12 2001-10-24 (Kees)
