+From 20020524 on, see the ChangeLog file.
+
+The project is now hosted on http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/uisp/ .
+
+Changes in uisp-20020524:
+ - add (GPL) copyright notices to all files, as required before the project
+ can be added to savannah.gnu.org (again, thanks to Theodore A. Roth)
+ - add preliminary ATmega8515 and ATmega162 support (untested, not yet
+ supported by pavr/stk500, just added signature bytes to the list)
+ - add a few items to the TODO list :)
+
+Changes in uisp-20020420:
+ - add preliminary ATtiny26 and ATmega32 support (untested, not yet
+ supported by pavr/stk500)
+ - another parallel port programmer (MAXI - http://www.invtech.com.au/),
+ thanks to Hamish Moffatt <hamish@cloud.net.au>
+ - fix upload/verify of >64K srec/ihex files,
+ fix STK500 swapped signature bytes, and
+ support case-insensitive AVR device names,
+ thanks to Theodore A. Roth <troth@openavr.org>
+ - ATtiny15 has a calibration byte, too (was not in an older version of
+ the datasheet), thanks to Alexander Popov <sasho@vip.orbitel.bg>
+
+Changes in uisp-20020303:
+ - add support for fuse bits with avr910/pavr programmers, and fix NULL
+ pointer segfaults with no -dprog, thanks to Bryce Denney <bryce@tlw.com>
+
+Changes in uisp-20011025:
+ - DASA2 (aka PonyProg interface) fixes (thanks to Uwe Bonnes):
+ AVR RESET# = inverted TXD (so sending BREAK resets the AVR)
+ -dinvert=sck,miso,mosi,reset (invert each specified line)
+ -dt_reset=N (reset inactive high time in microseconds)
+ - add S2/S3 record support necessary for ATmega103 (thanks to Uwe Bonnes)
+ - add ATmega64 to the device table (untested)
+ - read/write ATmega64/128 extended fuse bits (untested, no pavr support yet)
+ - tested on ATmega323 (thanks to Lars Thore W. Aarrestad <ltwa@atmel.com>
+ for sending me samples)
+
+Changes in uisp-20011006:
+ - add ATmega103-old back (bad sig bytes), these chips still exist :)
+ - comment out free(argv_ok) to work around a segfault
+
+Changes in uisp-20010909:
+ - add preliminary ATmega8/ATmega16/ATmega128 support based on recently
+ released datasheets (not tested, no extended fuse bits, no pavr yet)
+ - add support for yet another parallel port cable (DT006)
+ - include pavr firmware source (hacked a little by me) as part of uisp
+ (should also work in existing old "Atmel low cost" programmers after
+ 1200 -> 2313 upgrade, assuming the original 1200 was in a socket...)
+
+Changes in uisp-20010818:
+ - clear O_NONBLOCK flag with fcntl() instead of re-opening serial ports
+ (failed with "Permission denied" on Cygwin, reported by Jason Kyle)
+ - enable direct serial support only if TIOCMGET is defined, remove dummy
+ TIOCM* defines added for Cygwin port
+
+Changes in uisp-20010813:
+ - STK500 support (not yet complete, reverse-engineered communication
+ protocol), thanks to Daniel Berntsson <danbe628@student.liu.se>
+ - Win9x/ME/NT/2K (Cygwin) port (needs the giveio.sys driver for direct
+ I/O port access), thanks to Dean Ferreyra <dferreyra@igc.org>
+
+Changes in uisp-20010805:
+ - fix recent termios changes (forgot to clear CRTSCTS and set VMIN, VTIME),
+ also now set termios modes for dasa, dasa2 (still untested)
+ - rename ATmega32 to ATmega323 (now that the official datasheet is out)
+ - accept -dprog=pavr (for now as alias for -dprog=avr910, but may include
+ more features in the future, see http://avr.jpk.co.nz/pavr/pavr.html)
+
+Changes in uisp-20010715:
+ - rename AVR3 to FBPRG (-dprog=fbprg), as it seems that smartcard
+ development boards might have illegal uses in some countries ;)
+ - fix avr910 page write for ATmega163 (please test ATmega103 too!)
+ - save/restore termios modes on serial ports, please test
+ - change -datmel to -dprog=avr910
+ - uisp --help now prints to stdout, not stderr
+ - change #include <string> to #include <string.h>
+ - #include <string.h> in Terminal.C
+ - fix -dspeed handling in Serial.C
+
+Changes in uisp-20010701:
+ - fix compile with g++ 3.0
+ - fix Programming Enable error message after 32 retries
+ - add yet another parallel port interface (FBPRG/AVR3)
+ - more about --download of=file in uisp --help
+
+Changes in uisp-20010616:
+ - hopefully fix serial support (can't test), broken by my 20010211 -dpart
+ changes, in code common to both serial and parallel modes that use
+ different AVR device names :(
+ - CHANGES -> CHANGES.old, README -> CHANGES, TODO
+ - document FBPRG interface (not yet supported), and possible new design
+ using tables to make adding these new cables easier, in DAPA.C comments
+
+Changes in uisp-20010501:
+ - direct serial support: -dlpt=/dev/ttyS0 -dprog=dasa (or dasa2, see help)
+ warning: completely untested, might or might not work
+ - incompatible change: programmer type (for all these dummy parallel and
+ serial programmers) is specified with -dprog=... (-dstk200 etc. is gone)
+ - more portability changes (please test especially on non-x86 Linux and
+ FreeBSD, and send me patches if I broke something...)
+ - fix AT90S2323 signature byte (0x02 not 0x04)
+ - increase SCK delay (4us to 5us) for devices with slow RC oscillators
+ - don't skip 0xFF for page write
+ - fix a few typos
+ - remove OLD_DELAY_LOOP
+ - longer timeout for -datmel (500ms -> 1s)
+
+Changes in uisp-20010211:
+ - now available from http://www.amelek.gda.pl/avr/uisp/ and
+ officially maintained by me (many thanks to Uros for all previous work)
+ - device type can be specified if auto-detection fails, necessary for
+ AT90S1200 and other parts with erased signature bytes: -dpart=at90s1200
+ - assume -dno-retry -dno-poll for AT90S1200 (data polling should work
+ according to the datasheet, but bug reports indicate it doesn't, and
+ 1K of program memory doesn't take that long to write anyway...)
+ - support for yet another AVR ISP parallel port cable (not tested),
+ based on information from http://www.bsdhome.com/avrprog/
+ - FreeBSD support (not tested, uncomment -DHAVE_PPI in the Makefile
+ and tell me if it works, or send me a patch if it doesn't :)
+
+Changes in uisp-20001216:
+ - ATmega163 now supported, and tested (many thanks to Odd Jostein Svendsli
+ of Atmel Norway for help - sending me two samples of these new chips)
+ - reading Flash and EEPROM contents to a srec file (--download of=file)
+ - read/write fuse bits and boot lock bits, read calibration byte (use
+ --segment=fuse, address 0 = fuse low, 1 = fuse high, 2 = calibration,
+ 3 = lock bits: 1 1 BLB12 BLB11 BLB02 BLB01 LB2 LB1)
+ - data polling with page write, if supported by device
+ - added timer{add,sub,cmp} macros for systems that don't have them
+ - security fix, drop privileges before opening the serial device too
+ (warning: installation setuid root still not recommended, these are
+ just random fixes, and not a complete review for security holes;
+ using ppdev instead of direct I/O is highly recommended)
+
+Changes in uisp-20001125:
+ - fix a bug where erasing a locked device (not possible to identify)
+ might fail, now always wait 200 ms for chip erase
+ - add support for "Atmel AVR ISP" parallel port cable
+ - various cleanups (duplicated code to report statistics, etc.)
+
+Changes in uisp-20001118:
+ - make it possible to compile without direct I/O port access for non-PC
+ architectures, but still allow parallel port access via /dev/parportX
+ (Linux ppdev driver)
+ - include the latest ppdev driver (kernel patch) for Linux 2.2.17
+ - security: drop privileges before opening /dev/parportX (only matters
+ if accidentally installed setuid root - still not recommended!)
+ - data polling statistics reworked: min/avg/max ms/byte (so you can
+ compare them with datasheet specs - maybe it helps in detecting chips
+ that were programmed too many times)
+ - fix a longstanding bug in data polling that caused random programming
+ failures (could be worked around by specifying longer t_wd_flash -
+ no, that really wasn't the chips failing :)
+ - update write timing specs from the current datasheets (flash 8ms -> 4ms
+ for most chips, programs a bit faster - now that the above bug is gone)
+ - add more device codes for "Atmel low cost" (serial port) programmer
+ (still looking for updated avr910.asm - it must exist somewhere, as
+ avrprog.exe from AVR Studio claims to support all devices...)
+ - started work on fuse bits (not finished yet), will be needed for
+ ATmega163 (internal RC oscillator enabled by default)
+
+Changes in uisp-20001014:
+ - fix some stupid bugs (SCK delay, writing lock bits)
+ - avoid "invalid parameter" errors for -dt_wd_flash etc. if device locked
+ - updated help and version information
+
+Changes in uisp-20000930:
+ - compiles with g++ 2.95.2 (tested on Debian 2.2), does not depend on
+ kernel header files for parallel port bit definitions
+ - as in PonyProg, support for the "ppdev" Linux driver (included in
+ pre-2.4.0 kernels, available separately for 2.2.x - please bug Alan
+ to add it to 2.2.18 :), as well as the old direct I/O port access
+ (works with any kernel, but requires root privileges)
+ - more reliable delays on very fast machines, using gettimeofday()
+ (programming may be very slow on <=486 but should work otherwise)
+ - support for more new devices, such as ATmega161 (not tested)
+ - support for programming lock bits with --lock option (currently
+ only both at the same time, and no ATmega161 BLBxx bits yet)
+ - when not programming, try to disable (PS/2) parallel port data outputs -
+ this may allow cheap cables (no 74HC244 inside) to work if the ISP pins
+ are also used for other things (not tested)
+ - removed endian_bug backwards compatibility, various other cleanups
