-Release Notes for linux-gpib-4.3.0
+Release Notes for linux-gpib-4.3.4
 ----------------------------------
 
-Changes since the linux-gpib-4.2.0 release
+Changes since the linux-gpib-4.3.3 release
 
-	- Removed kernel package build dependency on autoconf.  It now
-	  only uses a Makefile and the standard linux kernel build
-	  tool chain. See the installation instructions in
-	  linux-gpib-kernel-4.3.0/INSTALL
+	New GPIO bitbang driver for Raspberry Pi from Marcello Carla'
 
-	- Noted in docs that gpib.conf will be in the sysconfdir,
-          which isn't always /etc/ depending on configuration.
-          The configured directory is now printed in configure output. 
+	Updated lpvo_usb_gpib to use usb directly from Marcello Carla'
 
-	- Added NI PCIe-GPIB to supported hardware matrix.
+	Better support for detecting listeners with ibln
 
-	- Added ibrsv2, which can be used to avoid spurious service
-          requests that ibrsv is prone to. Currently only
-          implemented for fmh_gpib and tnt4882.
+	New example programme findlisteners.c
 
-	- Added support for IbcHSCableLength in ibconfig which is needed
-          to enable high speed noninterlocked handshaking (a.k.a.  HS488).
+	Various changes for new kernel and autoconf versions
 
-	- Added support for selecting hardware by sysfs device path
-          or serial number.
-
-	- Removed obsolete hotplug usermaps.
-
-	- Fixed and refactored udev rules and related scripts.
-
-	- Improved multi-board initialisation scripts.
-
-	- Made ibln and FindLstn address the board as talker,
-          to work around problems caused by transceivers preventing
-          the NDAC line from being read accurately.
-
-	- A number of other fixes as well as patches from the
-          community. See Changelog entries from r1764 for more
-          details.
+	See ChangeLog since [r1912] for bug fixes and other changes.
 
-Note: As the udev rules were changed and refactored in this release it
-      necessary to remove any pre 4.3.0 gpib udev rules files in
-      /etc/udev/rules.d/ before installing linux-gpib-user-4.3.0.
+Note: If you have any pre 4.3.0 gpib udev rules files in
+      /etc/udev/rules.d/ please remove them before installing
+      linux-gpib-user-4.3.4.
+
       The files to remove are:
-      	   99-agilent_82357a.rules
+	   99-agilent_82357a.rules
 	   99-gpib-generic.rules
 	   99-ni_usb_gpib.rules
