=== 1.7.0 ===
* 2026-08-14 [Release] Driver version 1.7 released. This driver is
             substantially complete but not fully vetted. Some features
	     might not work as expected. A follow-up update is planned.
* 2026-08-11 [Update] Driver now supports the 5102ec. Both cards now passing
             development test. The 5402e passed regression test, and the
	     5102e ran fine on this version. Not tested: Route56 (5104e).
* 2026-07-31 [Update] Driver now supports the 5402ec, with testing to date
             focused on SDLC mode in particular. All modes except External
	     Sync have been exercised and appear to work normally.

* 2025-12-12 [New] Added code to detect the 5402ec (does not load its BARs yet).
             Startup logging now uses product names like "5402ec" instead of PCI
             IDs like 0023, to be more user-friendly.
             Brought over more material from svn i.e. the examples & scripts dirs.

=== 1.6.8 ===
* 2020-10-30 [Driver Bugfix]: Fixed an issue that could cause the device file to
             become corrupt due to Major number conflicts. Kernel versions 2.6.37
             and higher support dynamic allocation of the Major device number so
             this is used in 2.6.37 and above.

             The driver will continue to use a static major number on kernel
             versions 2.6.36 and lower. See comments in the seamacload script
             if you have an older kernel and need a dynamic major device number.

             [Example]: Updated printb function in sample-bisync-framed to
             compile on newer versions of Linux.
