serial

Changed

• Split implementation into multiple crates:
  • serial-core contains core abstractions.
  • serial-unix provides Unix implementation.
  • serial-windows provides Windows implementation.
  • serial provides cross-platform interface.
• Renamed serial::posix module to serial::unix.

Removed

• Removed implementation of Default for PortSettings.

Fixed

• Fixed bugs in the Windows implementation that did not reset parity, binary, or DTR control settings.

Fixed

• (#16) Added missing Send implementation for Windows COM ports.
• (#18) Fixed bug to allow opening non-standard Windows COM ports by name.
• (#27) Added missing Debug implementation for Unix TTY port settings.

Added

• Added support for OpenBSD.
• (#10) Added support for OS-specific baud rates for termios-based serial ports.
• (#10) Added BaudRate::from_speed() constructor.

Changed

• Upgraded libc dependency to v0.2.

Added

• Added support for FreeBSD.

Changed

• Replaced dependence on time crate with std::time.
• Minimum supported version of Rust is now 1.3.0.

Added

• (#7) Added SystemPort type alias for native serial port type.

Added

• Added SerialDevice trait as implementation trait for new serial port types. All types that implement SerialDevice will automatically implement SerialPort.
• Added new ErrorKind variant: NoDevice.

Changed

• Changed reconfigure() method to be object-safe and moved from SerialPortExt to SerialPort.
• Changed return type of serial::open() from io::Result to serial::Result.
• Improved usefulness of errors returned by many methods by explicitly handling system error codes and using system error descriptions.

Removed

• Removed methods from SerialPort trait that required knowledge of the port's Settings type. Removed methods are read_settings() and write_settings(). They are still available via SerialDevice.
• Removed SerialPortExt trait.

Fixed

• (#4) Made SerialPort usable as a trait object. SerialPort objects can now be boxed as Box<SerialPort>.

Added

• Added support for control signals to SerialPort trait. RTS and DTR control signals are settable. CTS, DSR, RI, and CD signals are readable.
• Implemented control signals for Unix TTY devices.
• Implemented control signals for Windows COM ports.

Fixed

• (#5) Fixed bug that kept PTY devices created with socat locked after closing device.

Added

• When opening Unix TTY ports, they are now locked for exclusive access with TIOCEXL ioctl.

Added

• Added support for stable release channel.
• Added serial::Error type to represent errors.
• Added SerialPort::configure() method to configure port directly from a PortSettings object.
• Implemented AsRawFd for Unix TTY ports.
• Implemented AsRawHandle for Windows COM ports.

Changed

• Renamed SerialPort::settings() to SerialPort::read_settings().
• Renamed SerialPort::apply_settings() to SerialPort::write_settings().
• Changed io::Result return types to serial::Result.
• Returning serial::Result from SerialPort::set_timeout() to allow function to perform I/O.
• Changed return type of SerialPortSettings getter methods to Option<T>, so undetermined settings can be represented as None.
• Changed return type of SerialPortSettings::set_baud_rate() to serial::Result to allow the method to return an error for unsupported baud rates.

Removed

• Removed uncommon baud rates: 50, 75, 134, 150, 200, 1800, and 230400 (still available with BaudOther).

Added

• Added support for Windows COM ports.
• Added cross-platform function serial::open() for opening system serial ports.

Changed

• Return io::Result from SerialPort::settings().

Changed

• Replaced use of built-in libc crate with libc package from crates.io.
• (#1) Replaced use of unstable std::time module with time package from crates.io.

Fixed

• Updated to support Rust 1.0.0-beta compiler.

Fixed

• Updated to support latest Rust nightly compiler.

Changed

• Migrated to new std::io module form std::old_io.

Fixed

• Updated to support latest Rust nightly compiler.

Added

• Basic support for Unix TTY devices.
