lirc 0.8.7 release

[Jarod W. <ja...@wi...>]

Get it while its hot. Posted to sourceforge yesterday, but I neglected
to send out the release notice until now, and lirc.org still needs to
be updated, but Christoph will get that done shortly. :)

Protocol regression testing was all good, as was device testing with
mceusb, streamzap, usb-uirt and commandIR II hardware on my end.
Nobody else raised any issues, so here we are.

Changes since last release:

0.8.7: 09/06/10
 * improved usb-uirt support for FreeBSD (John Wehle)
 * spurious locking complaint fixes for FreeBSD (John Wehle)
 * added support for new Command IR III hardware (Matthew Bodkin)
 * updated mceusb support to properly initialize 3rd-gen hardware
 * updated imon driver that doesn't corrupt their displays
 * hack to make not-in-lirc zilog driver function with larger values
 * added support for Aureal ATWF@83-W001 ESKY.CC remote (Romain Henriet)
 * added transmit support to driver for ENE CIR port
   (only few devices support that)
 * made generation of automatic release events in lircd more robust
 * added tira_raw driver for the Ira/Tira receivers that supports
   receiving in timing mode, the tira driver now supports transmit
   (Arnold Pakolitz)
 * added support for DFC USB InfraRed Remote Control (Davio Franke)
 * added support for simple transmitter circuit connected to
   soundcard (Bob van Loosen)
 * added support for Philips SRM 7500 RF remote (Henning Glawe)


Hopefully, I'll get something that resembles a 0.9.0-pre1 release
together by the end of next weekend. The focus of 0.9.0 will be full
interoperability with the lirc kernel drivers that have been merged in
the upstream linux kernel as of 2.6.36, and longer-term, I think we
may well drop the lirc kernel drivers from the main lirc source
distribution (but probably not until most distros are shipping w/the
in-kernel drivers).
