This topic briefly describes DST software genesis from V3.56 (considered to be the "baseline" version for this revision history). This log is provided for your reference only; Tibbo is not obliged to elaborate on or explain detailed meaning of any item listed below.
Release V3.9.82 [the latest published and documented version]
| • | VSPD architecture significantly changed for better emulation |
| • | Optimizations in flow of Connection Wizard. |
| • | VSPD now registers with the serial PNP device enumerator of Windows. Now serial PNP devices connected to the DS are recognized correctly. |
| • | It was possible to run the DS Manager, VSP Manager, and/or Connection Wizard at the same time (wrong!) on slower PCs. Now corrected. Only one of those components can run at any given time. |
| • | In the Connection Wizard, it was possible to create several identical VSPs by rapidly clicking on FINISH button. |
| • | DS firmware upgrade from the DS Manager could crash when performed in the background. |
Release V3.6.6
| • | New feature in VSP Manager. The Manager is now based on a COM object. You can interact with this object from within your application software. This provides a way for a full control programmatic control over creation, setup, and deletion of Virtual Serial Ports. |
| • | New feature: additional options for serial (port control) lines CTS, DSR, and DCD (see serial lines tab). |
| • | Bug correction in VSPD. In previous VSPD versions some special characters (such as XOFF, ESC) when sent by a DOS-based program (running under Windows NT/2000/XP) were incorrectly handled by the VSP. The problem has now been corrected. |
| • | Bug correction: VSP properties could not be opened from within Windows Device Manager. This problem has now been corrected. Under Windows98 you will see default serial property page only. Under Windows NT/2000/XP you will see all VSP properties- just like with VSP Manager. |
| • | Several other minor bugs and problems have been corrected. |
