Each with its own PLL. + - HOST synchronization is gone. Loading of xpp will no longer cause + useless 250 ticks per second if you have no Astribank. + - Synchronization from the zaptel sync master requires setting + ZAPTEL as sync source (xpp_sync ZAPTEL). + * rx_tasklet is now a parameter of the module xpp, rather than of xpp_usb. + * New FPGA firmware: 5128 (1151) / 5122 (1141, 1131): + - Fixes synchronization issues. + - PRI module: E1/T1 should now work. + * perl module and utilities: + - Modules no longer magically scan system on initialization. + - Scanning is by calling explicit methods. + - "Serial" has been renamed "Label". It is basically unique, but + should be modifieble. + - Some basic documentation of zaptel perl modules. + * Default sort order of zt_registration is back to SORT_CONNCTOR. + * zt_registration proc file now shows the number of span registered to + if registered. Try: grep . /proc/xpp/XBUS-*/XPD-*/zt_registration + * genzaptelconf: Allow using a custom command instead of + /etc/init.d/asterisk to start/stop asterisk. + * Fixed the typo "Slagish". + +Wed Nov 14 2007 Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com> - xpp.r5010 + * Fix a deadlock spotted on some SMP installations. + * increase FXS ring detect debounce interval. + * Improve (reduce) signal attenuation on FXO ports. + * zaptel-perl: further fixes to handling of empty slots. + +Wed Oct 3 2007 Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com> - xpp.r4900 + * Zaptel/Hardware perl modules: + - Use sysfs directly. Don't rely on lspci/lsusb. + - Each device has a description and driver name. + - Zaptel::Hardware::drivers() to show the list of required drivers + for this system (see zaptel_drivers). + - zaptel_hardware shows a description and a (suggested?) driver. + * zt_registration sorts by Serial first and only then by connector. + * USB_FW.hex replaces all the USB_11x0.hex . + - Separate USB interface for the management processor. + - Hence fpga_load can now work even with drivers loaded. + * Fix firmware upgrading. + * Fix manual firmware loading while auto-loading. + * Fix opermode parameter for FXO initialization (broken in r4648). + +Wed Oct 3 2007 Oron Peled <oron@actcom.co.il> - xpp.r4786 + * New firmware protocol version: 2.9 . + * fpga_load: initial clean-ups before interface split. + * genzaptelconf: Don't leave an empty directory behind (4784) + * Increase xpp poll_timeout to 1000ms - useful for CentOS 4 (r4781). + * Fix initialization anoyance: if AB don't answer to polls, don't + waitfor_xpds, and show no waiting XPDs (r4725). + * Disable dtmf_detect by default once again (r4712). + * Don't check twice for asterisk to stop. The second test was done + while Asterisk was still stopping (r4708). + * Support building the kernel with M= instead of with SUBDIRS= , as + used in some newer build systems (r4677). + +Tue Sep 11 2007 Oron Peled <oron@actcom.co.il> - xpp.r4648 + * New firmware protocol version: 2.8 . + * Cleanup INFO() messages during module loading. + + * USB: Receive queue with TASKLETS [r4600]. Controlled by rx_tasklet + parameter to xpp_usb module (can be changed in runtime). + * The pcm_tasklet parameter in xpp module is deprecated: + - Does not actually do anything. + - If set during module loading, shows an ERR() message. + - Also appears in /proc/xpp/sync + + * FXS: Hardware DTMF detection by default, can be disabled + by setting dtmf_detection=0 parameter to xpd_fxs. + PCM is muted when DTMF key is pressed. + + * zapconf: + - Can now generate users.conf compatible with asterisk-gui. + - Optional command-line arguments denoting which files to generate. + Possible values are 'zaptel', 'zapata' and 'users'. + - Defaults to creating zaptel and zapata. + + * Update to zaptel-1.4.5.1, zaptel-1.2.20.1 + * Fix building on kernel 2.6.23rc1, from Axel Thimm. + * New firmware to fix FXS leds irregularities. + * Less noise at build time - don't echo version, test compile ony once. + * zapconf can generate users.conf snippets. + +Thu Aug 16 2007 Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com> - xpp.r4515 + * Don't use Astribanks connected to USB1 interfaces + Unless the user set the option usb1=1 for xpp_usb (r4504). + * README.Astribank can now be generated from the makefile (r4503). + * Demote the messages about PCM in non-PCM from notice to debug (r4501). + * Fix sample BRI zapata.conf: NT instead of TE (r4498). + * Disable FXS hardware DTMF detection by default (r4492). + * Extra Zaptel PCI IDs (from Philipp Kempgen) (r4466). + +Thu Aug 2 2007 Oron Peled <oron@actcom.co.il> - xpp.r4464 + * Jump to zaptel-1.2.19 and zaptel-1.4.4 (with/without bristuff) + * BRI improvement: an 'nt_keepalive' parameter to xpd_bri forces + a BRI_NT to retry a connection indefinitely (this is our default). + When false it revert to the behaviour in changeset:4415 ("Bezeq like") + * Improvement in DBG macros. The print_dbg parameter is now set of + flags to debug.
