VSCP & Friends Version 1.0.0.43 – Neon
\n=============================================================================

This is the 1.0.0 Neon release of VSCP & Friends.<\/p>\n

———————————————————————————————–
\n(If you don’t want to read a lot of text but rather want to test as soon as possible go here
\nhttp:\/\/www.vscp.org\/docs\/vscpd\/doku.php?id=setting_up_the_system_on_windows) NOW.
\n———————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n

It been quite some time now since the last official release of VSCP & Friends for Windows, but here it is
\nagain, the free and open source framework for M2M and IoT. The software package has worked well for many
\nyears now on all Linux flavours including Raspberry Pi boards, BeagleBone boards and on all other
\nsmall boards, as well as on most larger systems out there.<\/p>\n

If you have come this far, that is to install VSCP & Friends, you probably already know what VSCP is. If
\nyou don’t you may want to take a look at this series of slides
\nhttp:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/keHedman\/2014-01-33087344 or have a look at some of the other documents at
\nhttp:\/\/vscp.org\/docs.php<\/p>\n

So what is new for VSCP & Friends in this release.<\/p>\n

NEW COMMUNICATION ENGINE
\n————————
\nThe communication engine is now entirely new and rewritten from scratch. Faster, better and more secure and
\nit even take less space than before.<\/p>\n

SECURITY
\n——–
\nHost related security based on IP-address and password protection has been available since the first release
\nof VSCP & Friends. Now SSL is added as an option on all interfaces. Together making this system one of the most
\nsecure IoT\/M2M solutions available.<\/p>\n

WEB SERVER
\n———-
\nThe system mow have a full web server with a built in administrative interface for VSCP. You can reach it
\nat the reserved address http:\/\/yourhost:your-port\/vscp (typically http:\/\/localhost:8080\/vscp on a newly
\nfreshly installed system). The web-server can, as any other web-server, let a browser fetch pages you
\nput on the servers file system, run cgi-script, secure with SSL and provide everything else you expect
\nfrom a full blown web server. You can read about the powerful configuration options available here
\nhttp:\/\/www.vscp.org\/docs\/vscpd\/doku.php?id=configuring_the_vscp_daemon#webserver<\/p>\n

WEB SOCKET INTERFACE
\n——————–
\nWe have long wanted to create a flexible way to make user interfaces for VSCP & Friends and
\nit’s not until HTML5 and websockets came around that this has been possible to realize. But now we have a
\nstate of the art HTML5 websocket interface on the VSCP daemon. This means you can build rich live web
\ninterfaces with widgets for such things as temperature display or buttons for control. Each widget becomes
\nits own light client. If you can build a web-page you can build a simple or an advanced control user
\ninterface. A JavaScript library helps in creating controls and displaying and getting a widget working on
\na page is usually a matter of just one line of JavaScript code.<\/p>\n

REST interface
\n————–
\nThere now is now a secure and stable REST interface that client can use to reach VSCP functionality. This
\nmeans that the VSCP system is easy to reach from any client that can handle a REST interface.<\/p>\n

TCP\/IP interface
\n—————-
\nThe tcp\/ip is available as before and now has the new communication engine. It can be used by hardware and
\nsoftware clients to perform various VSCP tasks and from this version SSL support is added as an extra
\nsecurity to the hots and password security that has been available before.<\/p>\n

TABLES
\n——
\nTables is a way to build either static (round-robin) or dynamic (ever growing) databases within the
\nVSCP daemon itself without the need for an external database engine. The collected data can then be
\nprocessed or shown in diagrams or tables. As measurements in VSCP is specified for the SI standard they
\nall can be handled and displayed in the same easy way.<\/p>\n

HELPER LIB
\n———-
\nThe helper-dll is now complete and makes it easy to interface the different interfaces of VSCP & Friends
\nand decode\/code data from any programming language which can open a standard c library. That is most
\nprogramming systems. The dll\/dl is available for Linux and Windows.<\/p>\n

VSCP WORKS
\n———-
\nVSCP-Works now can update firmware using the generic algorithm as well. Sample firmware for
\nAVR processors is available. It also have support for Level II and can read and write multi page and
\ndecision matrix of remote devices. It can also handle abstractions from the MDF specification from the
\ndevice and therefore configure devices on the highest user level. This is still tool for developers and
\nwe expect many of it’s user friendly parts to be moved or be doubled in the web-interface.
\nDRIVERS
\n——-
\nA level II TCP\/IP link driver has been added. With this driver it is possible to connect to other daemons
\non other remote machines and\/or on smaller boards with a simple TCP\/IP interface. The connection will be
\nheld up by the daemon even if it falls.<\/p>\n

A level II socketcan driver and a Level I socketcan driver has been added. So now all CAN devices that
\nhave socketcan support (most) is supported by VSCP.<\/p>\n

A level II logger is added to the level I logger which can help in debugging you system. This logger also
\ncan log events for later user friendly inspection in VSCP works.<\/p>\n

A level II MQTT subscribe\/publish driver has been added to make it possible to use this popular IBM
\nprotocol to send VSCP events over a topic-channel. As MQTT is available on many, many platforms this
\nextends the reach for VSCP & Friends to.<\/p>\n

A level II raw Ethernet driver has been added. This driver makes it possible to send raw ethernet VSCP
\nframes instead of IP frames and therefore build clients that does not have to implement a full TCP\/IP
\nstack on them and also has no need for being setup with an IP-address etc and thus works when started up.
\nA temperature sensor or a switch hooked up to a local Ethernet just don’t need the space taken up by the
\nTCP\/IP stack.<\/p>\n

A level II LM-sensors driver has been added which makes it possible to monitor the health
\n(temperature\/voltage\/rpm of fans) of a mainboard and CPU’s and the disks on a remote machine.<\/p>\n

And then there are the old Level I drivers. can232, xap, lirc and others.<\/p>\n

And then it is lot, and lot and lot and lot of small things fixed and added everywhere.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
