Version 0.5.2

Minor release to add the new "utilities" build feature and update some dependencies.

• PR #26 - Added 'utilities' feature to be able to turn off build of binary applications (i.e. only build the library).
• #21 - Update nix dependency to avoid linking vulnerable version
• Updated dependencies for clap and ctrlc crates.

Version 0.5.1 - Minor point release. macOS on Intel.

• iio_info_rs utility now supports network and URI contexts.
• PR #19 macOS build makes a distinction for Intel and non-Intel builds when searching for Homebrew Frameworks (libiio library).
• PR #20 Fix some clippy suggestions. Particularly cleaner casting of raw pointers, etc.

Version 0.5.0 - Better multithreading

• Started loosening thread safety restrictions:
  • The Context is now Send and Sync. Internally it has canverted to using an Arc instead of an Rc to track it's internal data.
  • The Device is now Send.
  • For high performance with multiple device, though, it's still recommended to used fully-cloned contexts for each device
  • For now, Channel and Buffer objects are still !Send and !Sync. So they should live in the same thread as their channel.
• New functions to manipulate Context and InnerContext objects:
  • Context::try_release_inner() attempts to get the inner context out of the context wrapper.
  • Context::try_deep_clone() to make a new context around a deep copy of the inner context (and thus a copy of the C lib context).
  • From<InnerContext> for Context

Version 0.4.1

Fixed v0.4.0 release which was done from the wrong branch.

Version 0.4.0 - MacOS support and updated attributes

• #12 Context construction now takes a Backend enumeration type.
• The InnerContext is now public and can be cloned and sent to another thread to create a cloned context in the other thread.
• #15 Generic attr_read() and attr_write() functions for devices, channels, and buffers.
• #17 macOS support (for network clients)
• Buffer attribute read/write functions and iterators moved into the Buffer struct.
• Buffer struct now contains a clone of the Device from which it was created.
• Device and Channel now support Clone trait.
• Updates to the examples for more/different hardware.
• New Version struct which is returned by the library and Context version query functions.

Version 0.3 - libiio v0.21 and new Error handling

• Support for libiio v0.21
• Updated error handling:
  • Support for std::error
  • Implementation changed to use thiserror (from error_chain)
  • Specific types defined for common errors intead of just string descriptions (WrongDataType, BadReturnSize, InvalidIndex, etc)
• New device capabilities:
  • remove_trigger()
  • is_buffer_capable()
• New utility app: riio_stop_all

v0.2 - Coverage for most of the underlying library

This adds support for much of the functionality of the underlying libiio library, including:

• Support for libiio v0.18
• Further implementation of libiio functions for contexts, devices, channels, etc.
• Functions to read and write buffers, with and without conversions, and to convert individual samples to and from hardware format.
• [Breaking] Removed previous ChannelType for Input/Output as it conflicted with the library's channel types of Voltage, Current, Power, etc, and implemented the library type.
• Contexts have a ref-counted "inner" representation using Rc<>, and can be "cloned" quickly by incrementing the count. (Thanks, @skrap!)
• Devices carry a cloned reference to the context that created them, thus keeping the context alive until the last device using it gets dropped.
• Some clippy-recommended lints.
• Example app to collect and process data a buffer at a time, with conversions.

v0.1 - Initial release

An initial release with modest coverage of the API.
