  * 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

  * Demote the messages about PCM in non-PCM from notice to debug (r4501).

  * 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. They are defined in zap_debug.h
  * PRI configuration improvements (r4462):
    - Hardcoded default (in init_card_9_26) is TE.
    - The variable XPP_PRI_SETUP (in /etc/default/zaptel) may config
      all PRI ports or some of them as we wish. Full docs are in
      the utils/example_default_zaptel.
  * PRI D-channel indication: Similar to BRI (r4464).

Thu Jul 30 2007 Oron Peled <oron@actcom.co.il> - xpp.r4415
  * Show Astribank 6+2 as 6/2 channels and not 8/8 channels.

  * Fixed a panic in BRI span shutdown method (r4393).
  * Changes to debug macros.
  * Add proper sysfs support (r4406)
    - A bus on whuch all of the Astribanks reside.
    - Replaces useless sysfs code that existed in the module.
    - Currently used to set the sync source automatically at device
      adition / removal.
  * BRI: We do need the T1 timer in NT. If it gets into G2 state (rr4407).

Thu Jul 12 2007 Oron Peled <oron@actcom.co.il> - xpp.r4372

  * udev rules (xpp.rules) avoid false calls from wrong nodes (r4331)
  * Improve hardware detection and reporting in lszaptel,
    zaptel_hardware. zapconf is basically functional.
  * Leds are blinked synchronously on all Astribanks now (r4262)
  * Fix a BRI bug if OPTIMIZE_CHANMUTE was compiled into zaptel (r4258)
    (This feature was not yet accepted into official zaptel)

  * Tested with zaptel-1.2.17.1
  * Add D-Channel TX, RX and BAD frames count in /proc/xpp/XBUS-*/XPD-*/bri_info
  * Adjust output of xpp_sync script. Pad for 8 port BRI.
  * Added a debugging module parport_debug (not compiled by default).
  * Added an optional patch to zaptel:
      - compiles only if ZAPTEL_SYNC_TICK is defined
      - Allow interested driver to register for "sync" notification.
      - Does not affect drivers that do not use this feature.
  * Added external synchronization feature:
      - Only if ZAPTEL_SYNC_TICK feature is compiled in
      - Than XPP may be synchronized by another card (e.g: an Astribank
        with FXS can be synchronized by a Digium PRI card).
      - May be enabled/disabled in runtime via the 'sync_tick_active' module
        parameter to the xpp.ko module.
  * Fixed a potential bug in D-Channel hexdump printing.
  * New visual indications in BRI leds:
      - Constant ON RED/GREEN: Shows the port type -- NT/TE.
      - Very fast "double blink": Layer1 work, no D-Channel yet. 
      - Steady blinking (1/2 sec): D-Channel trafic detected. 
  * xpp_fxloader moved to /usr/share/zaptel .
  * adj_clock removed: never really used.
