Commit Message
- Update from version 0.5.7 (2016) to 0.5.9 (2017)
- Update of rootfile
- This patch brings lcdproc up to date with the most recent release.
- Although there are no new releases there are continuing ongoing commits and issue fixes
being done in the repository with the last commit being in Dec 2021.
Not sure why no new releases are being done. It looks like any of the commits that fix
issuse people have raised have to be patched by the interested people.
- Changelog
0.5.9
This is mostly a code cleanup, bugfix and maintainance release.
Drivers supporting new hardware or additional functionality
HD44780 connection type "serial" supports Portwell EZIO-100 and EZIO-300
HD44780 connection type "gpio" supports dual controller displays.
This connection type is now a full replacement for the obsolete "rpi"
connection type.
Removed configure flags
enable-permissive-menu-goto is replaced by a setting in LCDd.conf
enable-seamless-hbars is now selected by drivers that need it automatically
Other important changes
The build system now specifies the language as C99.
API: drivers need to include "shared/report.h" instead of "report.h"
libftdi1 is used if it is available instead of obsolete libftdi
display update interval is selectable from LCDd.conf
0.5.8
New drivers
futaba: for Futaba TOSD-5711BB VFDisplay commonly used on Elonex Artisan,
Fujitsu Scaleo E and FIC Spectra Media Centre PCs
linux_input: supporting event devices from the linux input subsystem
Olimex_MOD_LCD1x9: for Olimex MOD-LCD1x9
yard2LCD: for yard2
New connection types for hd44780 driver
lcm162 is a differently wired 8 bit connection type used on Nextgate NSA
network appliances
gpio is using the linux sysfs gpio interface to control a display in
4-bit mode. To build this sub-driver you need
libugpio, which is a new dependency
for lcdproc.
Obsolete connection types for hd44780 driver
The following connection types are obsolete and probably won't get bug
and security fixes:
raspberrypi: use the gpio connection type instead
piplate: use the gpio connection type together with the gpio-mcp23s08
kernel module.
pifacecad: use the gpio connection type together with the gpio-mcp23s08
kernel module.
i2c: support for this sub-driver might continue for the users of
non-linux operating systems. On linux systems it is recommended to
use the gpio connection type together with the gpio-pcf857x kernel
module.
Drivers supporting new hardware or additional functionality
icp_a106 now also supports A125 displays
NoritakeVFD added some non-essential features
Other important changes
Development of lcdproc moved to github.
Some internal data structures have changed. If you have custom LCDd
drivers, you will need to recompile them against the new version. Of
course submitting such drivers in pull requests is appreciated.
For a detailed list of bug fixes, see the ChangeLog.md included in the
distribution archive.
