The biggest change is the remove of exceptions. This should result in a better stability on cygwin. On embedded system, you can now compile eibd without any C++ library (--without-libstdc++) with gcc.

The C# client library is now offical part of the sources.

A few new example programs were added (groupsocketswrite, groupsocketwrite, knxtool).

The EIBnet/IP Tunneling client has some NAT support [although its from the security point of view better to use a VPN tunnel instead]. ... read more

- eibd client library:
* new functions EIBReset, EIB_MC_Write_Plain
* the parameter order for EIB_LoadImage has changed

* (experimental[1]) implementation of the library in Java
* (experimental[1]) implementation of the library in C# (distributed as extra file EIBConnection.cs)... read more

BCU SDK 0.0.2.1 has been released, which fixes several problems:
* Sync Sourceforge.net version with version at my homepage
* Fix message delivery inconsistencies between backends
* Fix build with option --without-pth-test

I recommend everyone to upgrade from older BCU SDK versions.

New features:

* asynchrous eibd client library

It is now possbile to use the eibd client library in a non block way (see *poll.c in the examples directory).

* new development build mode

As the creation/maintaince of the configuration description (XML file) during development is complicated, it is now possibly to specify the configuration in special blocks in the BCU configuration (see build.dev).... read more

This is a mostly a maintenance release, fixing all known bugs. eibd also offers a new interface which supports the use of multiple group addresses over one single client connection. Every user is recommended to upgrade.
