2.8.0

(Original release date 2014-01-24)

Description

• Contains native libs for Windows (x86, x86-64), Linux (x86, x86-64, ARM soft & hard float), Solaris (x86, x86-64), Mac OS X (x86, x86-64, PPC, PPC64). All native libs contained within the jssc.jar file and you don't need manage native libs manually.
• Contains Javadocs

• Fixed bug with port handles potential leakage 5b5a604 d818ecb

Enhancements

• Added method writeString(String string, String charsetName) e56d39f
• Added method getNativeLibraryVersion() in SerialNativeInterface class 4cc7332
• Enabled Java and Native libraries versions mismatch check 5d1515a

2.6.0

(Original release date 2013-06-01)

Enhancements

• Added os.name - "Darwin" and os.arch - "universal" support; useful for MacOS X developers.
• Added ttyO to Linux RegExp for listing OMAP serial devices.
• Added JSSC_IGNPAR and JSSC_PARMRK properties for enabling IGNPAR and PARMRK flags in _nix termios structure.

2.5.0

(Original release date 2013-04-27)

Fixes

• Fixed bug with garbage reading on Linux, MacOSX, Solaris, cause of incorrect using of VMIN and VTIME. Now read methods works correctly and are blocking like in Windows
• Fixed error with garbage reading in Windows using this library after another application used serial port. To prevent this effect COMMTIMEOUTS structure zeroing added to setParams() method
• The port handle now stored in variable of type long instead of int, to prevent potential problems with type conversions on Win64
• Fixed MacOS X 10.8 bug with native lib loading (*.dylib -> *.jnilib)
• Fixed Linux error with exclusive access to serial port (TIOCEXCL). TIOCNXCL added to closePort() method for clearing exclusive access
• Fixed Windows native lib port name concatenation error
• Fixed native lib extraction path if user home is read only, in this situation lib will be extracted to tmp folder
• Null port name fix. If try to invoke method openPort() for SerialPort(null) object, exception TYPE_NULL_NOT_PERMITTED will be thrown
• Enabled TIOCEXCL support in Solaris

Enhancements

• Added ARM Soft & Hard float support (Tested of Raspberry Pi with Oracle JDK 6, 7, 8)
• Added ttyACM, ttyAMA, rfcomm to Linux RegExp and tty.usbmodem to MacOS X RegExp
• Added precompiled RegExp's for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X for more faster port listing
• Added private common for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X method getUnixBasedPortNames() for listing serial ports
• Rewrote comparator for sorting port names. Now it's a common comparator for Windows, Linux, Solaris and MacOS X
• Added some syntax sugar to SerialPortList class, for changing search path, RegExp and comparator
• Added timeouts for read operations and SerialPortTimeoutException class for catching timeout exceptions
• Added JSSC_NO_TIOCEXCL JVM property for disable using of exclusive access to serial port
• Added termios(_nix) and DCB(Windows) structure checking on port opening, it helps separate real serial devices from others
• Added ERR_ constants into SerialNativeInterface
• Added new exception TYPE_INCORRECT_SERIAL_PORT
• Added new exception TYPE_PERMISSION_DENIED. It can be very useful for _nix based system if user have no permissions for using serial device
