Older Blackbird firmware will not work. Also note that old configurations can not be read into the setup program. You must recreate the configurations. * Kvaser Blackbird setup program: New channel selection user interface. The "automatic" choice is now replaced by "Search all channels". * Kvaser Blackbird setup program: Added China as a regulatory domain. * Kvaser BlackBird: communication protocol slightly changed to improve both latency and throughput. * (General) Fixed bug where the value returned by canIOCTL_GET_TIMER_SCALE was wrong unless it was first set by a call to canIOCTL_SET_TIMER_SCALE. (#1693) * (General) Fixed problem where the length of the outstanding transmit queue was incorrectly calculated, causing an overflow after sending more than 10240 messages without calling any other API than canWrite. (#1380) * Support for OEM products 00527-3, 00536-5 and 00541-9. New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.1 (Release 5-MAR-2009) ====================================================================== * Support for Kvaser Memorator Light and several new Kvaser Leaf types. * Kvaser Blackbird: The setup tool now allows for using WPA2 when connecting to access points configured for both WPA and WPA2. New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.0e (Release 14-NOV-2008) ====================================================================== * All PCI boards: Fixed a problem that prevented computer shutdown at certain occasion. The computer would just ignore shutdown, hang, or even crash during a regular system shutdown.

New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.0c (Release 8-JUL-2008) ====================================================================== * Compared to 4.0b, this release contains no changes visible to the end users - only changes to certain manufacturing software are made. New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.0b (Release 27-MAY-2008) ====================================================================== * Kvaser BlackBird support: Fixed a problem with Kvaser Network Setup and the enumeration service (used for Kvaser BlackBird) where a registry key sometimes got a too restrictive protection. This caused the Network Setup to fail updating the list of BlackBirds on the network and that would prohibit connections from the service to the BlackBird. * Kvaser BlackBird support: Kvaser Network Setup will now issue an error message if the registry keys we just mentioned cannot be written. * canlib32.dll: Added a missing DeleteCriticalSection when the DLL unloads to balance the InitCriticalSection which is called when the DLL initializes. * RP1210 support: Added GetLastErrorMsg and ReadDetailedVersion calls. Added BlackBird support. * canlib32NET.dll, canlibCLSNET.dll: Added a strong name to the assembly. * Kvaser BlackBird support: the parameter setter program now allows access to the built-in web server to be configured. New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.0a (Release 20-APR-2008) ====================================================================== * Added support for Kvaser BlackBird. * Fixed bug in canWaitForEvent that happened in 64-bit Windows only, although it was probably present also in Win32 * J2534 library: 1. Implemented timestamps for TxDone-indications. 2. Implemented ExtraDataIndex for all messages and indications. 3. Return correct value of read messages when reading fails. * SDK: Added J1699/3 test application from Sourceforge; see samples/J1699 Added a fix in VerifyBatteryVoltage so it can handle the case when READ_VBATT isn't supported. * Restored support for PCIcan/PCIcanx with Kone transceivers. New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.0 (Release 2-FEB-2008) ====================================================================== * Kvaser Leaf, OEM versions: Fixed a BSOD in the driver when a certain third party software (for whiteboards) was installed on the same machine. * SDK: Several small documentation improvements * RP1210: Support for changing the baud rate on the ClientConnect call. * RP1210: Added the ability to remove the "Serial=" in the DeviceParams line of a Device Block. If a serial number is not provided in this line, the first channel that matches the hardware type and the required “Chan=” value is assigned to the device id. * RP1210: Added the ability to define a baud rate on the DeviceParams line of the Device Block. This allows legacy rp1210A code to use a baud rate other than 250. * RP1210: Updated the INI file to have comments and match the latest RP1210B specification. * For RP1210B please note: ReadDetailedVersion(), GetLastErrorMsg(), Set Broadcast List command are yet not supported * J1587: The library functions j1587WriteMessageWait() and j1587ReadMessageWait() are rewritten to avoid losing incomming messages on a channel used for both reading and writing. * The J1587 library has a new implementation that is more robust and should eliminate the certain timeout errors seen in the previous release. * Corrected typo in INF files that could cause the PCI104 to get wrong driver when installed.
