2012-12-16 :: 0.0.4

  • Added support for building a Pi4J .deb installer package for Debian/Raspian Linux distribution. (BETA)
  • Modified NetworkInfo static methods to permit empty array return values when a network property cannot be obtained. Pi4J#3
  • Fixed issue in newer Raspberry Pi 512mb firmware where Pi4J was not compiled against latest wiringPi library and thus not detecting the hardware properly. Pi4J#3

  • Added power controller device interface, base impl, and reference impl
  • Added GpioController.provisionXXXPin methods that allow name to be optional
  • Relocated project downloads location to google code site; github deprecated downloads.
  • Added Google Groups discussion forum to project docs.
  • Added getTag() and setTag() to GpioPin interface and impl.
  • Added TemperatureConversion utility.
  • Added optional blocking argument to GpioPin pulse method to support blocking pulse invocations

2012-10-22 :: 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT

  • Refactored Gpio interfaces to permit extensible GpioProviders for add-on devices.
  • Refactored Gpio interfaces to separate digital, analog, and PWM types of input and output pins.
  • Added support for analog GPIO pins (interfaces, methods and events).
  • Added Olimex AVR-IO-M16 GpioProvider to serve as an example of extending a new GpioProvider for GPIO expansion.
  • Added Olimex AVR-IO-M16 sources for ARV micro-controller.
  • Removed setDirection() from GpioPin; embedded this functionality into existing setMode() method. Eliminating duplication.
  • Removed old test programs from pi4j-core and moved wiringPi examples to pi4j-example project.
  • Added support for I2C communication.
  • Added blink() methods for GPIO pins

2012-09-23 :: 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT

  • Refactored Gpio interface to permit methods using Pin argument to function without requiring a GpioPin to first be provisioned
  • Added OSGi manifest
  • Optimized GPIO interrupt thread handling to only be created if GpioPin listeners or triggers have been registered.
  • Now disabling/stopping GPIO interrupt native thread monitoring if all GpioPin listeners or triggers are unregistered.
  • Added additional convenience methods in GpioPin interface for evaluating state, direction, resistance, mode, etc.
  • There were two Gpio classes; renamed one to GpioController to avoid confusion.
  • Added OSGi service project to export Pi4J GPIO as an OSGi service.

2012-09-19 :: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

  • Initial ALPHA release
