Release Notes for Kvaser CanKing
                      ================================


New features and fixed problems in version 5.0 (Released 6-JUN-2009)
===========================================================================

* The "universal page" dialog (used to send an arbitrary CAN message)
  now allows for selecting the CAN channel.

* The CAN controller window now has a button that will set the same
  parameters in all other CAN windows too.

* Fixed bug when displaying the sampling point - when the channel was on
  bus there was a one-off error in the calculations.

* Included a four-channel template analogous to the two-channel
  template.

* The history window now takes the global hexadecimal/decimal preference
  into account when displaying its data.

* Improved error message when selecting both exclusive and "no init"
  mode for a CAN channel.

* Fixed bug where the filters for messages with 29-bit CAN identifiers
  didn't work as expected.

* CAN Controller window: 
  o   Added error counters display & various other tweaks. 
  o   If "no init" mode is selected, read and display the prevailing bus
      parameters.

* This release REQUIRES CANLIB 3.9.

* This is a major new release. The internals have undergone a large
  restructuring which hopefully will result in a program with much
  better performance.

* Much old stuff of questionable value has been removed. If your
  favorite feature is missing, please don't hesitate to tell us.

* The DLL formatter is now included, see Samples\formatter_dll

* The simple J1939 identifier formatter is back, on popular demand.

* The Traffic generator has an autostart option.

* Fixed problem where Clear in Output window raised an exception.
  Support for mouse wheel. Default setting for max number of lines now
  8k instead of 4k.

* Timed transmission: Fixed problem wher repeated sending of messages
  from the history list took one "tick" too long every loop; plus other
  tweaks.

* Save as Template now works and is no longer a hidden option.
  User's templates are now stored in the user's application data
  directory and showed on a special tab, "My Templates"

* History list now shows dec/hex depending on global setting.
  Support for W(akeup), E(rror), and N(err) message flags.

* CAN Controller window.
  o   option for "no init access".  
  o   If "no init" mode is selected, the bus parameter selection
      part is disabled.  
  o   Repaired Clear button. 
  o   Added Tx in addition to the Rx counters for CAN messages.
  o   Display bit rates as bps, not kpbs, to avoid issues with the
      decimal separator; and same for the SJW.  
  o   The filters now work again (compared to earlier 5.x betas). 
  o   If the CAN interface doesn't support silent mode, force driver
      mode to normal. 
  o   If CAN bus transmissions fail, a message is now written
      to the system text window.

* Added generic text window for system messages.

* General face lift. Application is now properly "themed."

* Numerous small bugs have been fixed.

* Application has been tested on Windows Vista without issues.

* Again, CANLIB 3.9 is now REQUIRED.
