   8  *
   9  *  Below is migration information for updating existing projects based on previous versions of the LUFA library
  10  *  to the next version released. It does not indicate all new additions to the library in each version change, only
  11  *  areas relevant to making older projects compatible with the API changes of each new release.
  12  *
  13  * \section Sec_MigrationXXXXXX Migrating from 090401 to XXXXXX
  14  *
  15  *  <b>All</b>
  16  *    - The ButtLoadTag.h header has been removed, as it was never used for its intended purpose. Projects should either remove all
  17  *      BUTTLOADTAG elements, or download and extract ButtLoadTag.h header from the ButtLoad project.
  18  *    - The Drivers/AT90USBXXX directory has been renamed to Drivers/Peripheral.
  19  *    - The Serial_Stream driver has been renamed to SerialStream to remain consistent with the rest of the library naming scheme.
  20  *
  21  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
  22  *    - Most demos, bootloaders and applications have had significant changes from previous versions. Applications built off of any
  23  *      library demos should update to the latest versions.
  24  *
  25  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
  26  *    - The Endpoint_ClearCurrentBank() macro has been removed, and is now replaced with the Endpoint_ClearIN(), Endpoint_ClearOUT()
  27  *      macros. See Endpoint.h documentation for more details on the new endpoint management macros.
  28  *    - The Endpoint_ReadWriteAllowed() macro has been renamed to Endpoint_IsReadWriteAllowed() to be more consistent with the rest of
  29  *      the API naming scheme.
  30  *    - The Endpoint_IsSetupINReady() and Endpoint_IsSetupOutReceived() macros have been renamed to Endpoint_IsINReady() and
  31  *      Endpoint_IsOUTReceived() respectively.
  32  *    - The Endpoint_IsSetupReceived() macro has been renamed to Endpoint_IsSETUPReceived().
  33  *    - The Endpoint_ClearSetupReceived() macro has been renamed to Endpoint_ClearSETUP().
  34  *    - All endpoint read/write/discard aliases which did not have an explicitly endianness specifier (such as Endpoint_Read_Word()) have
  35  *      been removed for clarity. Existing projects should use the "_LE" suffix on such calls to use the explicit Little Endian versions.
  36  *    - The USB_UnhandledControlPacket event no longer has any parameters. User code should no longer attempt to read in the remainder of
  37  *      the Control Request header as all Control Request header data is now preloaded by the library and made available in the
  38  *      USB_ControlRequest structure.
  39  *
  40  *  <b>Host Mode</b>
  41  *    - The USB_Host_SendControlRequest() function no longer automatically selects the Control pipe (pipe 0) to allow it to be used on
  42  *      other control type pipes. Care should be taken to ensure that the Control pipe is always selected before the function is called
  43  *      in existing projects where the Control pipe is to be operated on.
  44  *    - The USB Host management task now saves and restores the currently selected pipe before and after the task runs. Projects no longer
  45  *      need to manage this manually when calling the USB management task.
  46  *    - The Pipe_ClearCurrentBank() macro has been removed, and is now replaced with the Pipe_ClearIN(), Pipe_ClearOUT() macros. See
  47  *      Pipe.h documentation for more details on the new pipe management macros.
  48  *    - The Pipe_ReadWriteAllowed() macro has been renamed to Pipe_IsReadWriteAllowed() to be more consistent with the rest of the API
  49  *      naming scheme.
  50  *    - The Pipe_IsSetupINReceived() and Pipe_IsOutReady() macros have been renamed to Pipe_IsINReceived() and Pipe_IsOUTReady()
  51  *      respectively.
  52  *    - The new Pipe_ClearSETUP() macro should be used to send SETUP transactions, rather than the previous Pipe_ClearSetupOUT() macro.
  53  *    - The Pipe_IsSetupSent() macro has been renamed to Pipe_IsSETUPSent().
  54  *    - The Pipe_ClearSetupSent() macro is no longer applicable and should be removed.
  55  *    - All pipe read/write/discard aliases which did not have an explicitly endianness specifier (such as Pipe_Read_Word()) have
  56  *      been removed for clarity. Existing projects should use the "_LE" suffix on such calls to use the explicit Little Endian versions.
  57  *    - The Host_IsResetBusDone() macro has been renamed to Host_IsBusResetComplete().
  58  *    - The Pipe_Ignore_Word() and Pipe_Ignore_DWord() functions have been renamed to Pipe_Discard_Word() and Pipe_Discard_DWord() to remain
  59  *      consistent with the rest of the pipe API.
  60  *    - It is no longer needed to manually include the headers from LUFA/Drivers/USB/Class, as they are now included along with the rest
  61  *      of the USB headers when LUFA/Drivers/USB/USB.h is included.
  62  *    - Functions in the ConfigDescriptor.h header file no longer have "Host_" as part of their names.
  63  *    - The ProcessHIDReport() has been renamed to USB_ProcessHIDReport(), GetReportItemInfo() has been renamed to USB_GetHIDReportItemInfo()
  64  *      and SetReportItemInfo() has been renamed to USB_GetHIDReportItemInfo().
  65  *    - The values of the DSearch_Return_ErrorCodes_t and DSearch_Comp_Return_ErrorCodes_t enums have had their respective "Descriptor_Search"
  66  *      and "Descriptor_Search_Comp" prefixes changed to all caps.
  67  *    - The USB_HostRequest global has been renamed to USB_ControlRequest, and is used in Device mode also. The USB_Host_Request_Header_t
  68  *      structure type has been renamed to USB_Request_Header_t.
  69  *
  70  * \section Sec_Migration090401 Migrating from 090209 to 090401
  71  *
  72  *  <b>All</b>
  73  *    - LUFA projects must now give the raw input clock frequency (before any prescaling) as a compile time constant "F_CLOCK",
  74  *      defined in the project makefile and passed to the compiler via the -D switch.
  75  *    - The makefile EEPROM programming targets for FLIP and dfu-programmer no longer program in the FLASH data in addition to the
  76  *      EEPROM data into the device. If both are to be programmed, both the EEPROM and FLASH programming targets must be called.
  77  *    - As the avr-libc macro has been corrected in recent avr-libc distributions, the SetSystemClockPrescaler() macro has been removed.
  78  *      Include <avr/power.h> and call clock_prescale_set(clock_div_1); instead on recent avr-libc distributions.
  79  *
  80  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
  81  *    - The USBtoSerial demo now discards all data when not connected to a host, rather than buffering it for later transmission.
  82  *    - Most demos, bootloaders and applications have had their control request handling code corrected, to properly send the status
  83  *      stage in all handled requests. If you are using code based off one of the library demos, bootloaders or applications, you should
  84  *      update to the latest revisions.
  85  *
  86  *  <b>Non-USB Library Components</b>
  87  *    - The ATTR_ALWAYSINLINE function attribute macro has been renamed to ATTR_ALWAYS_INLINE.
  88  *    - Custom board Dataflash drivers now require the implementation of Dataflash_SelectChipFromPage() and Dataflash_SendAddressBytes().
  89  *
  90  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
  91  *    - The NO_CLEARSET_FEATURE_REQUEST compile time token has been renamed to FEATURELESS_CONTROL_ONLY_DEVICE, and its function expanded
  92  *      to also remove parts of the Get Status chapter 9 request to further reduce code usage. On all applications currently using the
  93  *      NO_CLEARSET_FEATURE_REQUEST compile time token, it can be replaced with the FEATURELESS_CONTROL_ONLY_DEVICE token with no further
  94  *      modifications required.
  95  *
  96  *
  97  * \section Sec_Migration090209 Migrating from 081217 to 090209
  98  *
  99  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
 100  *    - The ENDPOINT_MAX_ENDPOINTS constant has been renamed to the more appropriate name of ENDPOINT_TOTAL_ENDPOINTS.
 101  *    - The USB_STREAM_TIMEOUT_MS stream timeout default period has been extended to 100ms. This can be overridden in the user
 102  *      makefile if desired to restore the previous 50ms timeout.
 103  *
 104  *  <b>Host Mode</b>
 105  *    - The PIPE_MAX_ENDPOINTS constant has been renamed to the more appropriate name of PIPE_TOTAL_ENDPOINTS.
 106  *    - The USB_STREAM_TIMEOUT_MS stream timeout default period has been extended to 100ms. This can be overridden in the user
 107  *      makefile if desired to restore the previous 50ms timeout.
 108  *    - The USB_DeviceEnumerationFailed event now contains a second "SubErrorCode" parameter, giving the error code of the function
 109  *      which failed.
 110  *    - The HID_PARSE_Sucessful enum member constant has been corrected to HID_PARSE_Successful.
 111  *
 112  *  <b>Non-USB Library Components</b>
 113  *    - The previous SPI_SendByte() functionality is now located in SPI_TransferByte(). SPI_SendByte() now discards the return byte
 114  *      for speed, to compliment the new SPI_ReceiveByte() function. If two-way SPI transfers are required, calls to SPI_SendByte()
 115  *      should be changed to SPI_TransferByte().
 116  *    - The serial driver now sets the Tx line as an output explicitly, and enables the pullup of the Rx line.
 117  *    - The Serial_Init() and SerialStream_Init() functions now take a second DoubleSpeed parameter, which indicates if the USART
 118  *      should be initialized in double speed mode - useful in some circumstances for attaining baud rates not usually possible at
 119  *      the given AVR clock speed.
 120  *
 121  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 122  *    - Most library demos have been enhanced and/or had errors corrected. All users of all demos should upgrade their codebase to
 123  *      the latest demo versions.
 124  *
 125  *
 126  * \section Sec_Migration171208 Migrating from V1.5.3 to 081217
 127  *
 128  *  <b>All</b>
 129  *    - The MyUSB project name has been changed to LUFA (Lightweight Framework for USB AVRs). All references to MyUSB, including macro names,
 130  *      have been changed to LUFA.
 131  *
 132  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 133  *    - The ReconfigureUSART() routine in the USBtoSerial demo was not being called after new line encoding
 134  *      parameters were set by the host. Projects built on the USBtoSerial code should update to the latest version.
 135  *    - The HID Parser now supports multiple report (on a single endpoint) HID devices. The MouseHostWithParser and
 136  *      KeyboardHostWithPaser demos use the updated API functions to function correctly on such devices. Projects
 137  *      built on either "WithParser" demo should update to the latest code.
 138  *    - The RNDIS demo TCP stack has been modified so that connections can be properly closed. It is still not
 139  *      recommended that the MyUSB RNDIS demo TCP/IP stack be used for anything other than demonstration purposes,
 140  *      as it is neither a full nor a standards compliant implementation.
 141  *
 142  *  <b>Non-USB Library Components</b>
 143  *    - The Serial_IsCharRecieved() macro has been changed to the correct spelling of Serial_IsCharReceived() in Serial.h.
 144  *
 145  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
 146  *    - The MANUAL_PLL_CONTROL compile time token has been removed, and replaced with a USB_OPT_MANUAL_PLL mask
 147  *      to be used in the Options parameter of the USB_Init() function.
 148  *    - Calling USB_Init() now forces a complete USB interface reset and enumeration, even if the USB interface is
 149  *      currently initialized.
 150  *    - Interrupts are now disabled when processing control requests, to avoid problems with interrupts causing the library
 151  *      or user request processing code to exceed the strict USB timing requirements on control transfers.
 152  *    - The USB Reset event now resets and disables all device endpoints. If user code depends on endpoints remaining configured
 153  *      after a Reset event, it should be altered to explicitly re-initialize all user endpoints.
 154  *    - The prototype for the GetDescriptor function has been changed, as the return value was redundant. The function now
 155  *      returns the size of the descriptor, rather than passing it back via a parameter, or returns NO_DESCRIPTOR if the specified
 156  *      descriptor does not exist.
 157  *    - The NO_DESCRIPTOR_STRING macro has been renamed NO_DESCRIPTOR, and is now also used as a possible return value for the
 158  *      GetDescriptor function.
 159  *
 160  *  <b>Host Mode</b>
 161  *    - The MANUAL_PLL_CONTROL compile time token has been removed, and replaced with a USB_OPT_MANUAL_PLL mask
 162  *      to be used in the Options parameter of the USB_Init() function.
 163  *    - The HID report parser now supports multiple Report IDs. The HID report parser GetReportItemInfo() and
 164  *      SetReportItemInfo() routines now return a boolean, set if the requested report item was located in the
 165  *      current report. If sending a report to a multi-report device, the first byte of the report is automatically
 166  *      set to the report ID of the given report item.
 167  *    - Calling USB_Init() now forces a complete USB interface reset and enumeration, even if the USB interface is
 168  *      currently initialized.
 169  *
 170  *
 171  * \section Sec_Migration152 Migrating from V1.5.2 to V1.5.3
 172  *
 173  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 174  *    - Previously, all demos contained a serial number string descriptor, filled with all zeros. A serial number
 175  *      string is required in Mass Storage devices, or devices which are to retain settings when moved between
 176  *      ports on a machine. As people were not changing the serial number value, this was causing conflicts and so
 177  *      the serial number descriptor has been removed from all but the Mass Storage demo, which requires it.
 178  *    - The AudioOut and AudioIn demos did not previously silence their endpoints when the host has deactivated
 179  *      them. Projects built upon either demo should upgrade to the latest code.
 180  *    - The FEATURE_ENDPOINT macro has been renamed FEATURE_ENDPOINT_HALT, and is now correctly documented.
 181  *    - The MassStoreHost demo contained errors which caused it to lock up randomly on certain devices. Projects built
 182  *      on the MassStoreDemo code should update to the latest version.
 183  *    - The Interrupt type endpoint in the CDC based demos previously had a polling interval of 0x02, which caused
 184  *      problems on some Linux systems. This has been changed to 0xFF, projects built on the CDC demos should upgrade
 185  *      to the latest code.
 186  *    - The HID keyboard and mouse demos were not previously boot mode compatible. To enable boot mode support, projects
 187  *      built on the keyboard or mouse demos (or derivatives) should upgrade to the latest code.
 188  *    - The Mass Storage demo was not previously standards compliant. Projects built on the Mass Storage demo should
 189  *      upgrade to the latest code.
 190  *    - The USART was not being reconfigured after the host sent new encoding settings in the USBtoSerial demo. This was
 191  *      previously discovered and fixed, but the change was lost. Projects built on the USBtoSerial demo should update
 192  *      to the latest code.
 193  *
 194  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
 195  *    - The endpoint non-control stream functions now have a default timeout of 50ms between packets in the stream.
 196  *      If this timeout is exceeded, the function returns the new ENDPOINT_RWSTREAM_ERROR_Timeout error value. The
 197  *      timeout value can be overridden by defining the USB_STREAM_TIMEOUT_MS in the project makefile to the desired
 198  *      timeout duration in ms.
 199  *    - Rather than returning fixed values, the flags indicating if the device has Remote Wakeup currently enabled
 200  *      and/or is self-powered are now accessed and set through the new USB_RemoteWakeupEnabled and
 201  *      USB_CurrentlySelfPowered macros. See the DevChapter9.h documentation for more details.
 202  *    - All endpoint stream functions now require an extra Callback function parameter. Existing code may be updated
 203  *      to either supply NO_STREAM_CALLBACK as the extra parameter, or disable stream callbacks altogether by passing
 204  *      the token NO_STREAM_CALLBACKS to the compiler using the -D switch.
 205  *
 206  *  <b>Host Mode</b>
 207  *    - The pipe non-control stream functions now have a default timeout of 50ms between packets in the stream.
 208  *      If this timeout is exceeded, the function returns the new PIPE_RWSTREAM_ERROR_Timeout error value. The
 209  *      timeout value can be overridden by defining the USB_STREAM_TIMEOUT_MS in the project makefile to the desired
 210  *      timeout duration in ms.
 211  *    - CollectionPath_t has been renamed to HID_CollectionPath_t to be more in line with the other HID parser structures.
 212  *    - All pipe stream functions now require an extra Callback function parameter. Existing code may be updated
 213  *      to either supply NO_STREAM_CALLBACK as the extra parameter, or disable stream callbacks altogether by passing
 214  *      the token NO_STREAM_CALLBACKS to the compiler using the -D switch.
 215  *
 216  *
 217  * \section Sec_Migration151 Migrating from V1.5.1 to V1.5.2
 218  *
 219  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 220  *    - The RNDIS demo application has been updated so that it is functional on Linux under earlier implementations
 221  *      of the RNDIS specification, which had non-standard behaviour. Projects built upon the demo should upgrade
 222  *      to the latest code.
 223  *    - The DFU class bootloader has had several bugs corrected in this release. It is recommended that where
 224  *      possible any existing devices upgrade to the latest bootloader code.
 225  *
 226  *
 227  * \section Sec_Migration150 Migrating from V1.5.0 to V1.5.1
 228  *
 229  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 230  *    - The USBtoSerial demo was broken in the 1.5.0 release, due to incorrect register polling in place of the
 231  *      global "Transmitting" flag. The change has been reverted in this release. Projects built upon the demo
 232  *      should upgrade to the latest code.
 233  *    - The HID class demos did not implement the mandatory GetReport HID class request. Projects built upon the HID
 234  *      demos should upgrade to the latest code.
 235  *    - The HID class demos incorrectly reported themselves as boot-protocol enabled HID devices in their descriptors.
 236  *      Projects built upon the HID demos should upgrade to the latest code.
 237  *    - The MIDI device demo had incorrect AudioStreaming interface descriptors. Projects built upon the MIDI demo
 238  *      should upgrade to the latest code.
 239  *    - The AudioOut demo did not correctly tristate the speaker pins when USB was disconnected, wasting power.
 240  *      Projects built upon the AudioOut demo should upgrade to the latest code.
 241  *
 242  *
 243  * \section Sec_Migration141 Migrating from V1.4.1 to V1.5.0
 244  *
 245  *  <b>Library Demos</b>
 246  *    - Previous versions of the library demos had incorrectly encoded BCD version numbers in the descriptors. To
 247  *      avoid such mistakes in the future, the VERSION_BCD macro has been added to StdDescriptors.h. Existing
 248  *      projects should at least manually correct the BCD version numbers, or preferably update the descriptors to
 249  *      encode the version number in BCD format using the new macro.
 250  *    - The mandatory GetReport class-specific request was accidentally omitted from previous versions of the demos
 251  *      based on the Human Interface Device (HID) class. This has been corrected, and any user projects based on the
 252  *      HID demos should also be updated accordingly.
 253  *    - The CDC demos now correctly send an empty packet directly after a full packet, to end the transmission.
 254  *      Failure to do this on projects which always or frequently send full packets will cause buffering issues on
 255  *      the host OS. All CDC user projects are advised to update their transmission routines in the same manner as
 256  *      the library CDC demos.
 257  *    - The previous interrupt-driven Endpoint/Pipe demos did not properly save and restore the currently selected
 258  *      Endpoint/Pipe when the ISR fired. This has been corrected - user projects based on the interrupt driven
 259  *      demos should also update to properly save and restore the selected Endpoint/Pipe.
 260  *
 261  *  <b>Non-USB Library Components</b>
 262  *    - The Atomic.h and ISRMacro.h header files in MyUSB/Common have been removed, as the library is now only
 263  *      compatible with avr-libc library versions newer than the time before the functionality of the deleted
 264  *      headers was available.
 265  *
 266  *  <b>Device Mode</b>
 267  *    - The GetDescriptor function (see StdDescriptors.h) now has a new prototype, with altered parameter names and
 268  *      functions. Existing projects will need to update the GetDescriptor implementation to reflect the new API.
 269  *      The previously split Type and Index parameters are now passed as the original wValue parameter to the
 270  *      function, to make way for the USB specification wIndex parameter which is <i>not</i> the same as the
 271  *      previous Index parameter.
 272  *    - The USB_UnhandledControlPacket event (see Events.h) now has new parameter names, to be in line with the
 273  *      official USB specification. Existing code will need to be altered to use the new parameter names.
 274  *    - The USB_CreateEndpoints event (see Events.h) has been renamed to USB_ConfigurationChanged, which is more
 275  *      appropriate. It fires in an identical manner to the previously named event, thus the only change to be made
 276  *      is the event name itself in the user project.
 277  *    - The USB_Descriptor_Language_t structure no longer exists in StdDescriptors.h, as this was a
 278  *      pseudo-descriptor modelled on the string descriptor. It is replaced by the true USB_Descriptor_String_t type
 279  *      descriptor as indicated in the USB specification, thus all device code must be updated accordingly.
 280  *    - The names of several Endpoint macros have been changed to be more consistent with the rest of the library,
 281  *      with no implementation changes. This means that existing code can be altered to use the new macro names
 282  *      with no other considerations required. See Endpoint.h for the new macro names.
 283  *    - The previous version of the MassStorage demo had an incorrect value in the SCSI_Request_Sense_Response_t
 284  *      structure named SenseData in SCSI.c which caused some problems with some hosts. User projects based on this
 285  *      demo should correct the structure value to maintain compatibility across multiple OS platforms.
 286  *    - By default, the descriptor structures use the official USB specification names for the elements. Previous
 287  *      versions of the library used non-standard (but more verbose) names, which are still usable in the current
 288  *      and future releases when the correct compile time option is enabled. See the StdDescriptors.h file
 289  *      documentation for more details.
 290  *
 291  *  <b>Host Mode</b>
 292  *    - The USB_Host_Request_Header_t structure in HostChapter9.h (used for issuing control requests) has had its
 293  *      members renamed to the official USB specification names for requests. Existing code will need to be updated
 294  *      to use the new names.
 295  *    - The names of several Pipe macros have been changed to be more consistent with the rest of the library,
 296  *      with no implementation changes. This means that existing code can be altered to use the new macro names
 297  *      with no other considerations required. See Pipe.h for the new macro names.
 298  *    - By default, the descriptor structures use the official USB specification names for the elements. Previous
 299  *      versions of the library used non-standard (but more verbose) names, which are still usable in the current
 300  *      and future releases when the correct compile time option is enabled. See the StdDescriptors.h file
 301  *      documentation for more details.
 302  *    - The names of the macros in Host.h for controlling the SOF generation have been renamed, see the Host.h
 303  *      module documentation for the new macro names.
 304  *
 305  *  <b>Dual Role Mode</b>
 306  *    - The OTG.h header file has been corrected so that the macros now perform their stated functions. Any existing
 307  *      projects using custom headers to fix the broken OTG header should now be altered to once again use the OTG
 308  *      header inside the library.
 309  *    - The USB_DeviceEnumerationComplete event (see Events.h) now also fires in Device mode, when the host has
 310  *      finished enumerating the device. Projects relying on the event only firing in Host mode should be updated
 311  *      so that the event action only occurs when the USB_Mode global is set to USB_MODE_HOST.
