List of recent changes:

ioblixser.device/ioblix12ser.device
37.20:
  - errors from the UART were never really evaluated by the driver, because the
    evaluation took place at a completely wrong place. So if you should get
    framing errors, your request was aborted with NO error! Evil! Thanks to
    Chris Hodges for helping me finding that bug.



ioblixpar.device/ioblix12par.device
37.20:
  - some IOBlix1200P modules seem to have some problems with their interrupts
    (in fact some interrupts can be lost), so the driver will ask the chip for
    interrupts from time to time while printing "by hand".
  - somehow I completely swapped the initilization of the chip for PPF and ECP
    modes. Maybe this caused some troubles for some people. I must have been
    VERY overnighted :(
  - it is now possible to set SPP (simple parallel port) mode. This mode doesn't
    use the chip's FIFOs and is NOT interrupt-driven.



ioblixzip.device/ioblix12zip.device
37.20:
  - TD_GETGEOMETRY failed if no disk was inserted. This is fixed now. The driver
    will return the geometry of a 100MB disk in this case, no matter what kind
    of drive you are using. This also made the automounter going mad and open
    the driver thousands of times without closing it.



ioblixether.device
37.20:
  - in case of an S2_OFFLINE command the S2EVENT_OFFLINE event requests will
    now be returned before any outstanding requests are aborted.



IOBlix-Handler
37.20:
  - just a revision bump



SetupIOBlix
37.20:
  - SetupIOBlix caused system freezes while checking the hardware and if the
    USB stack Poseidon was running because of not acknowledged interrupts.
    This is fixed now.
  - QueryIOBlix had still some debugging messages enabled when testing the
    Ethernet module. Nothing really bad, although annoying.
  - AutoMount.demon just checked for version 37.2 of the program AutoMounter,
    but not for newer releases. Blame me for this stupid bug!
  - fixed Enforcer hits during search for ClockPort modules. I forgot to check
    a list for being empty :(. Thanks to Frederic Delacroix for his bug report.
  - Many thanks to Frederic Delacroix <fdelacroix@nordnet.fr> for the french
    translation of ioblix.catalog and the Installer scripts.
