[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Walnut 1.1.1

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

Sometime over the next week I will be releasing the current CVS trunk as 
version 1.1.1. This is the first supported release in the 1.1.x series. It 
has been stable for a while now, and this release will coincide with some 
other Gemini software releases.

(what happened to 1.1.0? Its labelled in CVS, was used in some other minor 
Gemini projects, but didnt add enough to justify a formal release.)

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Walnut 1.0.0

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

Announcing the release of Walnut version 1.0.0.

This version includes only minor bug fixes since the previous beta 4 release.

My apologies for the delay to this release, I have been unexpectedly 
distracted by other projects for a couple of weeks. 
(http://ww2.geminidataloggers.com/DataSheets/Tinys/TGI3250.PDF)
This release is believed to be stable, and no further releases are planned in 
the immediate future.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Walnut 1.0 beta 4 release

Announcing a beta 4 release of Walnut.

Beta 3 introduced a significant (and slightly embarrasing) bug in the handl=
ing=20
of digital basestations. Beta 4 fixes only that bug. I am hoping that this=
=20
will be the last beta release. Expect a 1.0.0 release before the end of the=
=20
month.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Walnut 1.0 beta 3 release

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I am pleased to announce the third beta release of Walnut, a python library=
=20
for talking to Tinytag data loggers.

Changes in this release include:

1. Changed the autodetection function to perform other tasks necessary for
application-level uses of this library: checking protocol version errors,=20
checking for loggers that failed their self-test, and turnng on some=20
performance enhancements if we can detect a digital basestation.

2. Many of the *_command_implemented methods on the MiniDecode class are=20
removed, in line with current logger specifications. Anyone using these=20
methods please shout, and I can suggest a better alternative.

3. Added a tiny_protocol_version method as an alias for=20
host_software_requirement. That old method name has been misleading for a=20
long time. The old name will not be removed for a long time yet.

4. Turned off some debugging output by default.

No critical bugs are fixed in this release, but anyone using an older versi=
on=20
should upgrade soon. Point 1 above will help you avoid problems in the=20
future.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Changes before release

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

It looks like there will only be one source change before the 1.0 release. The 
*_command_implemented methods on the MiniDecode class are removed, in line 
with current logger specifications. Anyone using these methods please shout, 
and I can suggest a better alternative. This change are in CVS now.

I need to update our distribution guidelines before releasing 1.0, but that 
still looks on target for next week.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Walnut 1.0 beta 2 release

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

Announcing the release of Walnut 1.0 beta 2

Walnut is a Python library for communicating with Gemini data loggers.

http://www.geminidataloggers.com/developer/open/walnut

1.0 will be the first official source release of these libraries. Nothing much 
has changed from the version that has been in the CVS trunk for a while, and 
not much is expected to change before a final 1.0.0 release towards the end 
of March.

This is the first release that includes support for running Walnut from a 
frozen (compiled) dll file, rather than a big directory of source.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Source Release Schedule

[Toby D. <tdi...@ge...>]

The source in cvs has has been stable for a long while, but we have been slow 
to make a proper release. It is time we pushed on with this.

1.0 beta 1 source release should be out tomorrow.

Using these libraries in a conventionally-distributed windows product has been 
a FAQ over the last few months. Lawrence has been isolating the tools that 
that we use for Gemini products  (in the FreezeTools cvs module) and we will 
be releasing these seperately in the next few weeks.

[Tinytag-Walnut-user] Basestation support

I have added a new package for supporting all things relating to digital=20

GeminiDataLoggers.Walnut.Ginko.Basestation contains a class which impleme=
