What's new in jSSC 2.6.0

Jun 3, 2013
  • Fixes:
  • Important! Fixed bug in MacOS X native readBytes() method
  • Important! Fixed bug with garbage reading on Linux, MacOSX, Solaris, cause of incorrect using of VMIN and VTIME. Now "read" methods works correctly and are blocking like in Windows
  • Important! Fixed error with garbage reading in Windows using jSSC after another application used serial port. To prevent this effect COMMTIMEOUTS structure zeroing added to setParams() method
  • Important! The port handle now stored in variable of type "long" instead of "int", to prevent potential problems with type conversions on Win64
  • Fixed MacOS X 10.8 bug with native lib loading (.dylib -> .jnilib)
  • Fixed Linux error with exclusive access to serial port (TIOCEXCL). TIOCNXCL added to closePort() method for clearing exclusive access
  • Fixed Windows native lib port name concatenation error
  • Fixed native lib extraction path if user home is read only, in this situation lib will be extracted to tmp folder
  • Null port name fix. If try to invoke method openPort() for SerialPort(null) object, exception TYPE_NULL_NOT_PERMITTED will be thrown
  • Enabled TIOCEXCL support in Solaris
  • Additions:
  • Added ARM Soft & Hard float support (Tested of Raspberry Pi with Oracle JDK(6-7-8))
  • Added ttyACM, ttyAMA, rfcomm to Linux RegExp and tty.usbmodem to MacOS X RegExp
  • Added precompiled RegExp's for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X for more faster port listing
  • Added private common for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X method getUnixBasedPortNames() for listing serial ports
  • Rewrited comparator for sorting port names. Now it's a common comparator for Windows, Linux, Solaris and MacOS X
  • Added some syntax sugar to SerialPortList class, for changing search path, RegExp and comparator
  • Added timeouts for read operations and SerialPortTimeoutException class for catching timeout exceptions
  • Added JSSC_NO_TIOCEXCL JVM property for disable using of exclusive access to serial port
  • Added termios(_nix) and DCB(Windows) structure cheking on port opening, it helps separate real serial devices from others
  • Added "ERR_" constants into SerialNativeInterface
  • Added new exception TYPE_INCORRECT_SERIAL_PORT
  • Added new exception TYPE_PERMISSION_DENIED. It can be very useful for _nix based system if user have no permissions for using serial device
