-
- SUPPORTED HARDWARE
- ==================
- All EuroBraille's displays should be supported here. However it has been tested
- on the following hardware:
- - a Clio-Notebraille display (20 40 and 80 cells);
- - a Scriba display (20 and 40);
- - an Azerbraille 40 and 80 display;
- - a Clio-PupiBraille display (80 cells)
- - an IRIS display (Iris-S20, Iris-S32 and Iris-40).
- - The driver is although tested with a NoteBraille display in order to
- maintain backward compatibility.
-
-
- FIXES/ADDITIONS
- ===============
- Version 1.3.3:
- - Corrected several bugs in write/read operations;
- - Corrected several key bugs on Iris models.
-
- Version 1.3.2:
- - Remade the brl_ReadPacket and brl_WritePacket, to allow writting of
- low-level packets and error code retrieving;
- - Full Iris support;
-
- Version 1.3.1:
- - Many code cleanups;
- - Corrected AzerBraille 40 Programming keys bugs;
- - Added a LOG_IO define to log in/out packets to a file;
- - Started to debug the Iris identification failures, still not work
- perfectly;
-
- Version 1.3 :
- - Made the driver BrlAPI compatible
- - The transfer code has been removed: it will be now in a separate
- program, called `tp' (in progress).
- - code cleanups;
-
- Version 1.2 :
- - Significantly reduced the size of the sourcecode: propper and easier
- to understand/customize;
- - Added LCD support;
- - Beta new Iris 20/32/40 support, not tested yet;
- - Re-added Cut-n-paste routines: it was disabled, don't know why...
-
- Version 1.1a :
- - Minor changes to function-keys to make the program easier to
- undepstand.
- - The on-line help function disappeared, and is replaced by the
- CMD_LEARN (learn mode) function directly implemented within BrlTty.
-
-
- Version 1.1:
- - Fixed bugs due to changes of brltty core functions
- - Changed keys' insertion: We now use sequencial mode for meta and
- control keys, to allow more combinations. Moreover the input table is
- now attached to the output table.
-
- Version 1.0 :
- - added an internal menu to allow console switching or to enter in the
- help menu.
- Here, a Scriba-like interface was implemented. Read the "README.menu"
- file if you didn't use a Scriba (or the Draculawin program) before to
- learn more about this menu.
- - When the drivers starts, it now plays a melody on the terminal's
- internal speaker.
- This was made to ensure the user that the driver is loaded and is
- ready to be used.
-
- Version 0.9:
- - You can now view the internal date/time of your display, typing "#M"
- (or "Alpha+L9" on a Scriba). This doesn't work very well - don't know
- why...
-
- Version 0.8:
- - Minor changes were made in the use of the "inskey()" function.
- - Fixed bugs in the ViewOn() and the Program() functions.
-
- Version 0.7:
- - Added the "Programming" and the "View on" functions. Their respective
- behaviors are as in the DOS program (ReadBraille). See the
- "README.model" file where "Model" is the name of your display.
- Actually, files are written for the Clio-Notebraille and the Scriba
- displays.
-
- Version 0.6:
- - Fixed the "enter bug": The "\n" inserted code is now replaced by
- "\x0D".
-
- Version 0.5:
- - Added the ability for the user to type letters directly from his/her
- terminal. The table implemented is the CBIFS (French) table.
-
- Comments are strongly welcomed, because I don't know how many people use the
- EuroBraille version of BRLTTY in the world so if you use this driver, just
- e-mail me what are your suggestions for next versions.
