129                 Libchipcard 3.9.4beta (2007/10/27)
130===========================================================================
131
132This release adds support for the SCM SCR3311 reader. Libchipcard can now

135
136
137===========================================================================
138                 Libchipcard 3.9.3beta (2007/10/24)
139===========================================================================
140
141This is the first release of the new generation which works nicely on
142Windows platforms as well. It is now also able to adapt to the different
143reader types when using Windows' SCard service (for now only Reiner SCT
144readers have been tested on win32 so far).
145This version now also supports German medical cards with some more readers
146by trying multiple protocols before giving up. This now allows to read those
147cards e.g. with the Kobil Kaan Advanced.

149
150===========================================================================
151                 Libchipcard 3.9.2beta (2007/09/11)
152===========================================================================
153
154This release has been adapted to the latest version of Gwenhywfar. It now
155only uses libsysfs to scan for USB devices and therefore no longer depends
156on libusb. This fixes a problem with the USB suspend feature of recent
157Linux kernels. This release needs Gwenhywfar 2.9.2beta.

163
164This release adds support for the latest Cyberjack device. All refrences to
165Libchipcard3 have been renamed to simply Libchipcard (without a number). This
166also affects the configuration files and paths, so you will have to move your
167configuration files!

175incorrect definitions of DWORD in libpcsclite. IFD drivers are now also
176found on SuSE systems. The driver description file for O2Micro has been fixed.
177WARNING: This version uses different paths for configuation files!!
178As of 3.9.0 Libchipcard no longer bears the major version number in its name
179or configuration files and paths.
180

196transactions from newer GeldKarte cards (->AqGeldKarte now works with those
197cards as well).

210===========================================================================
211
212This release adds the flag "keeprunning" to the SCM SPR532 reader (its
213proprietary driver doesn't like to shutdown and reload). This version should
214now work with any German medical card.
215
216
217===========================================================================
218                 Libchipcard3 2.9.4beta (2006/10/09)
219===========================================================================
220
221This release adds support for using the generic CCID driver with multiple
222readers in parallel and also adds support for the SCM 3310. This version
223supports external development of genuine Libchipcard3 drivers.

225
226===========================================================================
227                 Libchipcard3 2.9.3beta (2006/10/02)
228===========================================================================
229
230The slave manager has been completed, some errors have been fixed and this
231version now compiles and runs under Windows. Support for Mandriva has been
232added and clients can now receive notifications when readers are plugged in
233or out. Init scripts have been added.
234
235
236===========================================================================
237                 Libchipcard3 2.9.2beta (2006/09/26)
238===========================================================================
239
240After receiving feedback some bugs have been located and fixed (including
241a serious memory leak). A new method of making the server scan for hardware
242changes (triggered by POSIX signals) has been added.
243The CryptToken plugin for AqBanking has been moved into a separate RPM
244package.
245
246
247===========================================================================
248                 Libchipcard3 2.9.1beta1 (2006/09/25)
249===========================================================================
250
251This is the first beta release of Libchipcard3.
252The chipcard command and data structure handling has been moved from the
253server to the client so the server can now concentrate on ressource
254management.
255The remote driver code has been removed. Instead the server now has three
256operation modes: stand-alone, master and slave. Devices on thin clients
257can now be added and removed to/from a central master server. This makes it
258very much easier to setup libchipcard3 on thin clients.
259In standalone mode the server behaves just like former versions with the
260same IPC connection modes.
261The chipcard3-tool now has an additional command: "monitor". This command
262makes the tool listen for changes on the server (such as drivers, readers
263and cards started/stopped etc).
264All IFD-alike drivers of Libchipcard2 have been merged into a single one
265which now handles all those drivers (IFD2, IFD3 and CCID - both pre and post
2661.1.0).
267Some important bugs have been fixed and the card command description files
268have been cleaned up.
269"chipcardd3 init" now works as expected (the corresponding code in
270Libchipcard2 didn't work after some changes in Gwenhywfar some time ago).
271The client API has been abstracted more to prepare a Windows port of
272Libchipcard3 (not yet finished).
273
274
275===========================================================================
276                 Libchipcard2 2.1.8 (2006/08/25)
277===========================================================================
278
279This release fixes a bug which prevented Libchipcard2 from autodetecting
280PCMCIA devices. This version now works with OpenSC 0.11.x as well.
281
282
283===========================================================================
284                 Libchipcard2 2.1.7 (2006/06/15)
285===========================================================================
286
287This version allows readers without a keyboard to verify the pin of a
288chipcard again. It also fixes a problem with newer GeldKarte cards and now
289uses LibSysFS primarily to detect /dev/ttyUSB devices.
290
291
292===========================================================================
293                 Libchipcard2 2.1.6 (2006/06/16)
294===========================================================================

297users from compiling Libchipcard2.
298
299
300===========================================================================
301                 Libchipcard2 2.1.5 (2006/06/15)
302===========================================================================
303
304This version no longer requires the kernel sources to provide support for
305PCMCIA autoconfiguration. It also no longer needs a specially compiled
306version of libccid to work with that driver, the normal binary packages
307suffice.
308
309
310===========================================================================
311                 Libchipcard2 2.1.4 (2006/05/03)
