  • Skipping over 4.5.x versions since George Phillips had used that
    point release line for his work.

  • Git repo "cw2dmk" of Tim Mann's work was created by ezrec
    (Jason S. McMullan). Transferred to qbarnes.

  • Switched Linux release binaries to be for 64-bit OSes.

  • Added change from George Phillips for his "join" (-j) feature
    that will join different rereads of the same track and merge
    good sectors.

  • Fixed problem of missing data between index hole detect and read
    started. This should noticably reduce disk read errors and even
    occasionally dropping of entire sectors.

  • Added change to allow cw2dmk tools to function on newer Linux
    releases by enabling PCI I/O space access if disabled.

  • Added change to recognize and skip factory-formatted sides of a
    disk. Controlled with -b option.

  • The subdirectory "cwsdpmi" is now a git sub-module for picking up
    the "cwsdpmi.exe" binary for MS-DOS.

  • Cleaned up and merged multiple makefiles for different environments
    into one. Makes it easier to maintain, build, and cross-build. By
    default, the Makefile will now only build for the native OS. See
    the new file BUILDING.md for further information.

  • Created subdirectory "firmware" for holding firmware related files
    including a LICENSE file. I also received some additional
    documentation from Jens Schoenfeld on programming the MK3 and MK4
    and a file with firmware revision history saved here as
    firmware/Changelog.

  • To be less generic, renamed "testhist" binary to "cwtsthst", still
    keeping to MS-DOS's 8.3 file naming convention.

  • Update code base to be 64-bit clean. Fixed all known problems but
    some may remain.

  • Changed to using semantic versioning for version ID.
