v0.8.4

What's Changed

• sheep programming needed some improvements
  • bugfix - don't realign nrf-hex-file with 16bit address limit
  • workaround - reduce default data-rate for programming (500k to 200k)
  • bugfix - properly report programming errors (write-error, verify, parsing was not reported correctly)
  • ihex - added remaining 3 of 6 command-types of intel hex
  • ihex - corrected calculation of Extended Segment Address
  • ihex - more detailed error-reporting in python (including line-number)
  • ihex - full 32bit address-space should now be usable (was limited to <64k before)
  • ihex - detection of malformed command records
  • ihex - detection of unknown commands (throw error)
  • error-reporting did not detect a pru-restart
  • programmer now retries 5 times before failing
    • also the data-rate gets reduced by 20 40 % after each failed attempt
• sheep
  • now logs usage (timestamp, sub-command i.e. run, total runtime)
  • shepherd-sheep eeprom read -f prints full data-model
  • shepherd-sheep eeprom read -r prints only hardware revision of cape
  • small optimizations (fail early, but avoid exception; avoid code duplication)
• herd
  • fix bug on Windows OS while distributing files
  • use PurePosixPath for all remote paths (better cross-compatibility)
  • some run_cmd() executions have been silenced (from info to debug-level)
  • shepherd-herd retrieve now alternatively takes local task/job-file and fetches embedded paths
  • shepherd-herd retrieve does not add hostname to filename if already present
  • shepherd-herd alive had a bug and reported the opposite
  • shepherd-herd status now also reports last testbed-usage as timestamp and timedelta
• python
  • avoid os-package if pathlib can handle it
  • avoid sys.exit() if click.context.exit() is available
• hw-designfiles - add cape 2.5d & move prior capes to _deprecated
• ansible - avoid updating kernel
• tested: pytest sheep, pytest herd linux & windows
