API changes
| Changed Function | Comments |
|---|---|
| ddca_set_sleep_multiplier | allow 0 as valid value, return -1.0 for invalid value |
| ddca_set_default_sleep_multiplier | allow 0 as valid value, return -1.0 for invalid value |
| ddca_enable_force_slave_address | re-enabled |
| ddca_is_force_slave_address_enabled | re-enabled |
Notes:
- ddca_enable_force_slave_address() affects only the i2c-dev write()/read() interface, not the ioctl() interface.
- The use of 0 as a sleep-multiplier value is very unlikely to work. It is permitted to allow for some unexpected API use.
Miscellaneous
- Write additional error and trace messages to system log. (Whether any messages are actually written to the system log is controlled by configure options --enable-syslog, --disable-syslog. The default is --enable-syslog.
