+ * - The RingBuff library code has been replaced in the XPLAINBridge, Benito and USBtoSerial projects with an ultra lightweight
+ * ring buffer to help improve the reliability of the projects
+ * - The EEPROM stream read/write functions now use eeprom_update_byte() instead of eeprom_write_byte(), so that only
+ * changed bytes are written to EEPROM to preserve its lifespan
+ * - Changed over the AVRISP-MKII and TemperatureDataLogger projects to use eeprom_update_byte() when writing non-volatile
+ * parameters to EEPROM to preserve its lifespan
+ * - Removed unused line encoding data and control requests from the CDC Bootloader code, to save space
+ * - Renamed SERIAL_STREAM_ASSERT() macro to STDOUT_ASSERT()
+ * - The USB_Device_IsRemoteWakeupSent() and USB_Device_IsUSBSuspended() macros have been deleted, as they are now obsolete
+ * - Rewrote the implementation of the SwapEndian_16() and SwapEndian_32() functions so that they compile down in most instances to
+ * minimal loads and stores rather than complicated shifts
+ * - The software UART in the XPLAINBridge has been largely altered to try to improve upon its performance and reliability
+ * - The USBtoSerial and Benito projects now flushes received data via a flush timer, so that several bytes can be transmitted at once
+ * - Removed the automated checking of event names in the demo, project and bootloader makefiles due to inconsistancies between the
+ * behaviour of the command line tools used to perform the check on each platform
+ * - Internal USB driver source files renamed and moved to ease future possible architecture ports
+ * - All internal pseudo-function macros have been converted to true inline functions for type-safety and readability
