installed, older edition of CANLIB SDK. You should install into a new
directory, or uninstall the old version.
In contrast, the driver package may be installed over an old
installation of the drivers.
NOTE! If the Kvaser Eagle is reported as a "Kvaser Eagle Prototype",
you need to uninstall the old driver package and then reinstall the
new one.

* J2534 driver: Fixed problem where messages with extended identifiers were not
correctly reported.
* J2534 driver: Sometimes, when stopping a periodic CAN transmission, a corrupt
message would be written to a buffer causing further transmission to stop.
* J2534 driver: Fixed bug where segmented messages could only be sent if they
matched the first flow control filter.
* J2534 driver: Fixed bug where transmission of both standard and extended ids
were possible although only one of them were selected.
* J2534 driver: It's no longer possible to send segmented periodic messages,
which the standard prohibits.
* J2534 driver: Fixed crash when too long periodic messages were sent.
* J2534 driver: Fixed bug where the reception of an iso15765 message with fewer
data bytes than 8 caused the ISO15765_PADDDING_ERROR to be reported in a
separate message. Now it's set in the received message instead.
* kvrlib: Changed size of kvrDeviceInfo struct in kvrlib.h.
* kvrlib: Added CAN traffic encryption if requested by remote device (Kvaser
BlackBird). This is configured in the device via XML settings and the password
is also set in kvrlib via kvrDiscoverySetEncryptionKey().
* kvrlib: The device configuration uses XML format version 2.0, see
"Specification of the Kvaser BlackBird XML Format" for details.
* kvrlib: Renamed kvrAddressType_[ALL|BROADCAST|STORED] to
kvrAddressTypeFlag_XXX.
* kvrlib: Added functions for handling the service; kvrServiceQuery(),

* Added new ioctls for diagnostics of remote devices;
canIOCTL_GET_BUS_TYPE, canIOCTL_GET_CHANNEL_QUALITY,
canIOCTL_GET_ROUNDTRIP_TIME and
canIOCTL_GET_TIME_SINCE_LAST_SEEN.
These are also availible in canGetChanneldata();

restrictive ACL, thus preventing unprivileged users to use the CAN
drivers. This happened when running the installation package on a machine
where the drivers were already installed, without uninstalling them first.
* Added WM__CANLIB style notification on buson/off change, when the
physical channel is taken on/off bus.
* SDK: Documentation facelift.
* Support libraries for Microsoft .NET framework didn't make it into this

* Added support for 00581-5 Kvaser Memorator Professional CB
* Added two new ioctls, canIOCTL_SET_ERROR_FRAMES_REPORTING and
canIOCTL_SET_LOCAL_TXECHO.
* "Resource filtering" for lapcan is no longer the default.
This facilitates installation on e.g. Dell E6410 laptops where the
driver wouldn't find free I/O space or other resources.
* Improvements in the driver for COTI (CANopen Testing Interface).
Fixed Problems in V4.3a (Release 2-MAR-2011)
======================================================================
* Fixed problem where installed DLLs and other system files got an
overly restrictive ACL, thus preventing unprivileged users to use the
CAN drivers. This happened when running the installation package on a
machine where the drivers were already installed, without uninstalling
them first.
New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.3 (Release 25-NOV-2010)
======================================================================
* Tentative support for Kvaser Eagle. Details may still change.
* Support for Kvaser Memorator R SemiPro and Kvaser USBcan R.
* A library for reading CANdb files is included. See the sample code
in Samples\candb. API documentation is in the CANLIB help file.

See http://www.can-cia.de/index.php?id=conformance for more information.
* 64-bit versions of linlib.dll and j1587lib.dll are included.
* Users of Dell Latitude 6410 laptops together with LAPcan might need to
run PcmciaIrqRouteToPciController.reg and lapcan_resource_filter.js.
* Fixed a bug where canReadSpecific would leave a "ghost message" in the
queue. Further calls to canRead would return canERR_NOMSG but when
reading the queue level, 1 would be returned.
* canlibCLSNET.dll: when using canIoCtl to get the EAN number, the DLL
now returns an unsigned 64-bit integer that contains the EAN,
BCD-coded in a hex string. Earlier version always returned an error
code.
* filo_setparam_userdata.exe: Fixed hex number parsing bug for
the -data argument.
* kcanl.sys: Fixed missing "break" that would cause the autotransmit
buffers to misbehave if the user parameters were read.
New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.2 (Release 15-OCT-2009)
======================================================================
* This driver version is needed to use Kvaser Memorator Light.
* linlib.dll now exports the linGetCanHandle, linSetupIllegalMessage
and linSetupLIN APIs properly (without "name mangling")
New Features and Fixed Problems in V4.1a (Release 1-JUN-2009)
======================================================================
* IMPORTANT for Kvaser Blackbird setup program: In this release
changes were made that will require at least firmware 1.9.950. 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)

This caused problems with the proxy driver that Kvaser BlackBird uses.
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.

======================================================================
* 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.
