Description:
bit-babbler - BitBabbler hardware TRNG and kernel entropy source support
bit-babbler-dbg - debugging symbols for BitBabbler tools
Changes:
bit-babbler (0.4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Switch to using libusb-1.0 now. It turns out that libusb-0.1 doesn't
actually work on kFreeBSD, it only builds there ... which isn't very
helpful. The kFreeBSD port actually uses FreeBSD's own libusb which also
provides a compatibility API for libusb-1.0 - and we need to jump through
a few small extra hoops to use it, but it has the advantage of actually
working, which is a plus. This also means we immediately get much better
support and lots of bugfixes for non-Debian platforms too, so this should
work everywhere that current releases of libusb do now.
.
* Drop libftdi. This is partly a consequence of the above, since a version
of it built with libusb-1.0 isn't widely available, and partly a result of
realising we weren't really using anything from it that we couldn't just
do more easily and more directly though libusb ourselves anyway. Our code
ended up being significantly refactored and simplified as a result of this
and it opened the way for a number of additional easy improvements too.
.
* Drop the --device-num option for selecting devices. Having an arbitrary
enumeration isn't really all that useful in hotplug environments, and the
--device-id option now transparently supports selecting devices by their
serial number, or by either their logical or physical address on the bus,
so the duplication there was only becoming a source of confusion.
.
* More speed and efficiency tuning. As a result of now having more direct
control over the device we've been able to notably reduce some of the
overheads of streaming data out of it, which means we're now using less
CPU cycles with an increase in throughput for the same device clock rate.
.
* Make the libudev build dependency conditional on linux-any so the kFreeBSD
buildds will actually want to build it. We can't do much for Hurd until
someone actually ports libusb-1.0 to it.
.
* Make the use of signals which may not exist on all platforms conditional,
which should enable this to build on MIPS, Sparc, and Alpha too.
