May 18th, 2013· The obsolete and unused 'direct' parameter was removed.
· The program no longer recurses into main() when an unknown algorithm is selected.
· A bug in the handling of hexstrings in Python3 was fixed.
· The input to the CRC routines can now be bytes or strings.
· The symbol table was reorganised. qm.py was updated.
January 5th, 2013· Adds the experimental bitwise-expression generator target.
· Allows you to specify the --include option multiple times.
· Completely revisited and reworked documentation.
· Allows you to abbreviate the names of the algorithms.
· Minor documentation changes.
October 22nd, 2012· This version improves Python3 compatibility. pycrc now requires Python 2.6 or later.
· A wrong "check" value of the crc-64-jones model has been fixed.
· sprintf() is now used for C89 code instead of snprintf().
· The regression test script has been rewritten in Python.
February 14th, 2012· It adds the CRC models crc-12-3gpp, crc-16-genibus, crc-32-bzip2, and crc-64-xz.
· It fixes some bad-looking generated C code, and cleans up some mistakes in the man page and some inefficient code in the CRC code generator.
December 9th, 2011· This release fixes a few smaller issues in the code generator.
· It no longer includes stdint.h for C89/ANSI code, removes an unused variable missed in the last version, and fixes a bug with C89 code for 64-bit CRCs.
February 14th, 2011· Substituted the deprecated function atoi() with int(). Closes issue 3136566. Thanks to Tony Smith.
· Updated the documentation with a Windows-style call of the python interpreter.
· Fixed a few coding style issues found by pylint and pychecker.
October 22nd, 2010· This version fixes a minor bug in the command line parsing of the generated main function.
· The python code uses integer division for Python3 compatibility.
· A complete rewrite of the internal macro language and code generator.
March 29th, 2010· The table-driven algorithm can handle widths that are not byte-aligned as well as widths less than 8.
· Removed half-baken and confusing --direct option. Closes issue 2938846.
· Code clean-up; the generated C code should no more generate warnings about unused variables.
January 25th, 2010· Set xmodem parameters equal to zmodem params.
· Changed the xor-in value of the crc-64-jones model.
· Added crc-16-modbus model. Closes issue 2896611.
· pycrc now writes a warning message if an even polynom is used.
· Fix for unused variable argv. Closes issue 2893224. Thanks to Marko von Oppen.
October 26th, 2009· The crc-64-jones model was added.
· crc-32mpeg was renamed to crc-32-mpeg.
October 1st, 2009· This release fixes a bug that caused the Python table-driven code to not be evaluated at all.
April 6th, 2009· added crc-32mpeg model. Thanks to Thomas Edwards.
February 28th, 2009· This release adds a --direct option. Now it is possible to select 'direct' and 'not direct' versions of the algorithm.
· It adds a --check-hexstring option. With this option, it is possible to check a hexadecimal number on-the-fly. This closes issue 2545183.
· A check has been added for extra arguments on the command line. Previously, additional arguments were silently ignored. This closes issue 2545185.
December 12th, 2008· The code should run on both Python 2.x and 3.0.
· A bug that gave wrong results on x64 platforms was fixed.
· A bug that raised an exception when an unknown model was selected was fixed.
