libnfc - ChangeLog

Fixes

• Fix CT (Cascade Tag) byte when using 10 bytes long UID.
• Strip CT (Cascade Tag) from UIDs in nfc_initiator_select_tag().
• Fix CMake build (mainly on Windows related stuff)
• Minors fixes in documentation.
• Suppress almost all compilation warnings.

Changes

• API: Provide ISO14443A CRC function.
• Remove annoying info message when probing uart devices while serial autoprobing is disabled.
• Rename README-Windows.txt (compilation using CMake) into CMake-Windows.txt
• Add README for Windows compilation using win32/Makefile.

Note: Windows users could now take main tarball using CMake to build or Windows specific archive using MinGW GNU/Make.

Fixes:

• libnfc: Attempt to fix build on Windows using CMake;
• libnfc: Fix build on NetBSD;
• libnfc: Fix build on MacOS X;
• nfc-relay: fix usage of two devices using the same driver.

Fixes:

• libnfc: Fix compilation issue under FreeBSD (should now compile on FreeBSD 6, 7 and 8)

Note: Experimental CMake files are provided with this release, issues reports are welcome.

Fixes:

• libnfc: Fix compilation issue under Windows
• uart bus: Fix possible invalid file descriptor in uart_close()
• uart bus: Serial autoprobing is now DISABLED to avoid UART disturbing. (Feature can be enabled using –enable-serial-autoprobe option while configure)

Fixes:

• build: Add workarounds for libusb when compiling using C99;
• build: Attempt to fix rpath issue on linux platform (it is already deprecated in main distributions. i.e. http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue);
• build: wrong paths in pkg-config file;
• libnfc: Remove warnings when compiling;
• libnfc: Various code fixes and cleanup;
• bus uart: Added support for recv/send of larger data chunks (>default_os_buffer);
• bus uart: Fix some some buffer synchronization problems under POSIX system;
• bus uart: Add configure option: –disable-serial-autoprobe to disable autoprobing;
• libnfc: Fix nfc_target_init doesn't correctly reset the parity during initalization;
• libnfc: added support for WUPA and 7,10 byte UID in nfc_initiator_select_tag();
• libnfc: Fix tag re-selection with UID length > 4 bytes (like DESFire or Ultralight);
• nfc-mfclassic: Fix authenticated only with KEYA;

Improvments:

• build: Build on FreeBSD;
• build: Add alternative build system (CMake);
• build: Add new files usefull for desktop GNU/Linux users: some rules for udev to allow non-root access to PN53x USB devices;
• build: Update msinttypes up to revision 26. (used when compiling under Windows);
• build: Add “make doc” directive: it will build API documentation using Doxygen. (–enable-doc flag is required at configure time);
• libnfc: Add C++ compatibility;
• libnfc: Add driver agnostic nfc_pick_device(), nfc_list_devices();
• libnfc: It is now possible to specify a wanted device using new struct “nfc_device_desc_t”;
• libnfc: Add device name to device descriptions (nfc_device_desc_t) to select a given PCSC device;
• libnfc: Finally removed all dirty globals, it 'should' be thread-safe now;
• libnfc: Less confusing message for bitstreams display;
• libnfc: chips level introduction with pn53x.h/c;
• drivers: Add PN532 UART driver;
• drivers pn533_usb and pn531_usb: Lets search continuing to find other USB readers if any in PN531 and PN533 USB drivers;
• drivers pn533_usb and pn531_usb: Support for the generic vendorid/productid of the NXP chip;
• drivers pn533_usb and pn531_usb: Consolidate duplicated code;
• examples: Add MIFARE Ultratag tool;
• examples: Add man page for nfc-mfultool;
• examples: MIFARE examples (mftool and mfultool) have now a better help message;
• examples: Add NFCIP (NDEP) as experimental feature;
• examples: add quiet mode to improve timing of emulate, relay and anticol commands;
• nfc-list: List all devices in nfc-list(1);
• nfc-list: Simply turns off the RF field upon exit;
• nfc-emulate: allow UID to be specified;
• nfc-relay: Initialize initiator device explicitly;
• nfc-relay: Capture ctrl-c for quitting cleanly the relay attack application;
• nfc-relay: exit properly if emulator initialization failed;
• nfc-mfclassic: Add default keys tries;

Changes:

• API: Rename tag_info to nfc_target_info_t;
• API: Rename init_modulation to nfc_modulation_t;
• API: Rename dev_config_option to nfc_device_option_t;
• API: Use NULL instead of INVALID_DEVICE_INFO to know if device is valid;
