The modbus library finds its way into the official repositories Fedora (packaged by Stéphane Raimbault), Debian and Ubuntu (packaged by Ivo De Decker).

Yet another stable release with minor fixes.

libmodbus 3.0.2 (2012-01-16)

After 5 months with GNOME 3.0, I'm really happy with the experience. At the end of work day,
my mind is no more exhausted of windows placement fighting and application finding.

GNOME 3.0 is really stable, except with the Open Source driver on my Radeon 5870 (4 crashes in 2 months).

The day I discovered that Firefox does not behave like Chrome/IE on Ajax redirects, Firefox 7.0 is out with the fix!

PS: a simple request.is_ajax () after a redirect() in Django highlights the problem.

I'm impressed by the activity of the coreutils project (unix commands such as ls, df, etc). At first glance, you might think command line tools are written for good and only few changes are applied to ensure compatibility with the platforms. With several releases a year and new features for each, it's really an active project indeed.

If you expect 'Ctrl + d' wil only remove the first part 'foo_' of 'foo_bar' with the great python-mode, you can make this change to python-mode.el:

- (modify-syntax-entry ?\_ "w" py-mode-syntax-table)
+ (modify-syntax-entry ?\_ "_" py-mode-syntax-table)


A dot zero isn't a dot zero without few problems, so I've released libmodbus v3.0.1 to fix problems with non-recent Linux kernels and other platforms.

libmodbus 3.0.1 (2011-07-18)

OK, the new stable release of libmodbus is finally out! Only 2 years after libmodbus v2.0.3 and 400 commits, I'm happy to release this new version which contains many changes to improve the API and enhance the Modbus protocol conformity. The major features of this release are:

This minor release contains many new features with IPv6 support, documentation (man and HTML), error recovery modes and small API changes. I'm intend to release the version 3.0 so I need feeback from this release even more if you use libmodbus on Windows or MacOS X (check nanosleep support for example).

Travis Atkinson of Com-Pac Filtration and me have worked together to find out why the HMI of Weintek Labs I-Series, with Ethernet, answered only to request sent by the modpoll program (proprietary software).
