-The OpenOCD 0.2.0 source archive release includes numerous improvements
-that were made since the initial 0.1.0 source archive release. Many
-contributors helped make this release a great success, and the community
-of developers and maintainers look forward to any response.
-
-In addition to the list of changes below, countless bug fixing and
-cleaning was performed across the tree. Various TCL command parameters
-must past stricter value checks, and many more error conditions have
-been handled correctly. These efforts helped to make the 0.2.0 release
-more stable and robust, though some changes may expose latent bugs in
-your existing configuration scripts.
-
-This release does not maintain backward compatibility in all respects,
-so some target or configuration scripts may need to be updated. In some
-cases, you may also see warnings; resolve those, because they indicate
-commands that will be removed in the future.
-
-The following areas of OpenOCD functionality changed in this release:
+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD
+source archive release.
JTAG Layer:
-- Improves modularity: core, TCL, driver commands, and interface have
- been separated, encapsulated, and documented for developers. Mostly.
-- Improves JTAG TAP transition tables:
- * Makes TAP paths variable length, rather than being fixed at 7 steps.
- * Fixes problems with some targets that did not like longer paths.
