|
| FIRMATA 2.4.0 - Dec 21, 2014 |
|
|
| Changes from 2.3.6 to 2.4 that may impact existing Firmata client implementations: |
|
|
| * When sending a string from the client application to the board (STRING_DATA) a |
| static buffer is now used for the incoming string in place of a dynamically allocated |
| block of memory (see Firmata.cpp lines 181 - 205). In Firmata 2.3.6 and older, |
| the dynamically allocated block was never freed, causing a memory leak. If your |
| client library had freed this memory in the string callback method, that code |
| will break in Firmata 2.4. If the string data needs to persist beyond the string |
| callback, it should be copied within the string callback. |
|
|
| * As of Firmata 2.4, when digital port reporting or analog pin reporting is enabled, |
| the value of the port (digital) or pin (analog) is immediately sent back to the client |
| application. This will likely not have a negative impact on existing client |
| implementations, but may be unexpected. This feature was added to better support |
| non-serial streams (such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc) that may lose |
| connectivity and need a quick way to get the current state of the pins upon |
| reestablishing a connection. |
|
|
| [core library] |
| * Changed sendValueAsTwo7bitBytes, startSysex and endSysex from private to |
| public methods. |

| * Updated to latest Arduino library format |
| * writePort function in Boards.h now returns 1 (to suppress compiler warning) |
| * Updated syntax highlighting (keywords.txt) |
| * Fixed IS_PIN_SPI ifndef condition in boards.h |
| * Added constants to Firmata.h to reserve configurable firmata features |
| * Fixed issue where firmwareName was not reported correctly in Windows |
| * Ensure incoming String via STRING_DATA command is null-terminated |
| * Fixed memory leak when receiving String via STRING_DATA command |
| (note this change may break existing code if you were manually deallocating |
| the incoming string in your string callback function. See code for details) |
| * Added ability for user to specify a filename when calling setFirmwareNameAndVersion |
| * Increased input data buffer size from 32 to 64 bytes |
|
|
| [StandardFirmata] |
| * Updated I2C_READ_CONTINUOUSLY to work with or without slaveRegister (Rick Waldron) |
| * Added Yun variant of StandardFirmata |
| * When a digital port is enabled, its value is now immediately sent to the client |
| * When an analog pin is enabled, its value is now immediately sent to the client |

| a wider range of pins, including analog pins. |
