Revision history for Perl extension Device::SerialPort.
0.20 2003-06-12 (Kees)
- fixed some truth bugs found by David Dyck <david.dyck@fluke.com>
- totally rewrote serial bit detection code to use "normal"
perl XS routines. Had to even toss in a "configure" script
to make it really robust.
- jumped up to version 0.20 just because it's just a big change
to the build process. Everything else appears undisturbed, but
I want to give some time for testing it out on other
architectures.
