avreal v1.28r10 (Sun 2012-04-29) has been released.

• Error in EEPROM size for ATmega328, ATmega328P — fixed.
• Alias for ATtiny84A added.

avreal v1.28r9 (Tue 2011-12-20) has been released.

• FT232H MPSSE mode support added.
• Delays processing in Windows version changed: lower CPU load for -k/-K switches.
• Resynchronisation method changed for all microcontrollers.
  Resync process started with one attempt of RESET pulse method then continued with SCK pulse method.
  More about synchronisation.

avreal beta-version 1.28r9b1 with FT232H support has been released.
Please, test it.

avreal v.1.28r8 and older ones were built for FreeBSD 6.4.
avreal1.28r8 was rebuilt for FreeBSD 8.2 then tested and uploaded to avreal download page.

All future versions will be built for FreeBSD 8.2 only.

avreal v1.28r8 (Sat 2011-08-13) has been released.

• Raw binary file support is added.
  Binary files are denoted by :bin: prefix in file name.
• -r switch behavior is changed.
  -r+ forces writing full memory content into output file (“old” behavior of -r).
  When -r is used, rows which contain only FF bytes in data field will not be written into :ihex: output file. FF-only tail will not be written into :bin: file.

avreal v1.28r7 (Sun 2011-02-27) has been released.

• -v+ processing error — fixed.

-v+ switch (-v switch with + modifier) is incorrectly processed by avreal versions from 1.28r2 to 1.28r6.
avreal checks for 0xFF all memory locations instead of ones unused in HEX-file.
That way avreal stops work after verification and rejects subsequent operations, for example, fuse write command.

-v switch without modifier is processed properly so it is recommended to use it.
The bug is not critical. Bugfix will be later.

The bug has been fixed in version 1.28r7.

avreal v1.28r6 (Sun 2011-01-09) has been released.

• ATmega325A and ATmega329A are added.
• Aliases for “A”-versions are added:

      ATmega165A, ATmega645A, ATmega6450A
      ATmega169A, ATmega329PA, ATmega649A, ATmega6490A

• avreal/Linux64, FT2232* and FT4232H-based adapters:
  Library named libftd2xx.so.0 instead of previously used libftd2xx.so is loaded for FTDI chips support.
  This allows installation both old (required for avreal) and new library versions, for example libftd2xx.so.0.4.16 and libftd2xx.so.1.0.0.
  Read more about libftd2xx.so.1.0.0 problems in 64-bit Linux.
• -k/-K switch now has two forms with different avreal stages execution order.

At the beginning of december FTDI gave us a small gift — a new version 1.0.0 of libftd2xx.so library. But avreal/Linux 64 bit doesn’t work with the library. I will check avreal code later. I have placed previous version 0.4.16 of libftd2xx.so with which avreal works properly, on the download page.

avreal v1.28r5 (Tue 2010-10-12) has been released.

• Synchronisation lost after verification for FT2232/FT4232-based adapters — fixed.
• ATmega128RFA1 added
