This file lists notable changes in each release. For the full history of all
changes, see ChangeLog.
2018-12-14 12:17:49 +00:00
2018-12-14: v0.99.0 release
* Library:
- All the internal API for device driver writers is now covered by the
documentation and has been enhanced to make it easier to write drivers
- Update internal NBIS fingerprint data processing library to one that's
nearly 10 years newer
- Re-add accessor for minutia coordinates which was used in the very
old fprint_demo program, but also by our new GTK+ test program (see below)
- Fix a crash when too many minutiae were detected in a capture
* Drivers:
- Support more devices in the Elan driver, stability improvements
* Tools:
- Add a test GTK+ application that will eventually be used for testing
drivers without modifying the OS installed version. Note that this
application currently requires manually changing permissions of USB
devices, this will be fixed when the infrastructure exists to access
those devices without additional permissions, as a normal user.
2018-07-16 14:15:21 +00:00
2018-07-15: v0.8.2 release
* Drivers:
- Add USB ID for TNP Nano USB Fingerprint Reader
- Fix UPEKTS enrollment never finishing on some devices
* Library:
- Fix fp_get_pollfds() retval type, a small ABI change
- Downgrade fatal errors to run-time warnings, as a number of drivers
used to throw silent errors and we made them fatal. Those will now
be visible warnings, hopefully helping with fixing them.
