take slightly longer than the previous erase timeout. (DLL version 1.04).

- Improved switch from initial baud rate to high-speed communications mode.

- Added half-duplex communications option.

Version 1.20
------------

- Added a Command Line/DOS version of Flash Magic for running Flash Magic from
IDEs, Batch Files, etc.

Version 1.10
------------

- Added support for the XA-G49 (DLL version 1.03).

- Added Tasking and Raisonance Checksum demo projects for the XA-G49 and reoganized
the demo projects into 8051 and XA folders.

- If the registry key does not exist when an attempt is made to read the advanced
options from it, then it is now automatically created.

- Ensured that when using high speed comms a baud rate with an error of less than
3% but is simply too fast for the device, is not selected. For example a timer 2
reload value of 65534. A baud rate that high appears to cause problems for the 66x
BootROM.

Version 1.03
------------

- If the registry key does not exist when the first attempt is made to read the
main settings from it, then it is now automatically created.

Version 1.02
------------

- DLL version 1.01 - now ignores any non-8-bit compatible records in Intel HEX
Files (i.e. only records 00H and 01H are used)
- Added error messages if there is an error reading previous settings.

Version 1.01
------------

- If Start is clicked and no options/hex file have been selected in steps 2, 3 or

4, then Flash Magic will now generate an error message, rather than get stuck in an
infinate loop with the main window items disabled.

Version 1.00
------------

- Display memory window now only allows selection of 16k blocks that exist on the
selected device.

- Uninstaller removes registry entry for FlashMagic.

- Registry entries are now ignored if one or more entries are missing.
- Added a PDF manual - accessable from the Start Menu.

Version 0.10 beta

-----------------

- Added the Embedded Systems Academy logo to the help about window.

- Added the ability to erase flash without having to deselect everything else in
the main window - choose Erase Flash from the ISP menu.

- Changed the support Email address in the help about window to the real one.

- Removed the Connect and Disconnect buttons. Every ISP operation now includes an
automatic and transparent connect before the operation and an automatic and
transparent disconnect after the operation, greatly simplifying the use of
FlashMagic. Note that FlashMagic can still be left running while other applications
access the COM port.

- Replaced warning messages generated when selection is made to program a security

bit on a Rx+ device, with a Yes/No confirmation when the Start button is clicked.

Version 0.06 beta

-----------------

- Added the ability to view the contents of Flash memory - choose Display Flash
Memory from the ISP menu.

Version 0.05 beta

-----------------

- Rewrote internet functions in EmbeddedHints to ensure EmbeddedHints will work

regardless of whether wininet.dll, rasapi32.dll and wsock32.dll is installed on the
machine or not

- Optimized background thread in EmbeddedHints to only check for an internet

connection if it is time to try and get more hints rather than once a second

- Modified EmbeddedHints so default hints and previously downloaded hints are shown
if no internet connection detected.

- Modified EmbeddedHints so that new hints are fetched when a hint is clicked on,
if it is time to get new hints.

Version 0.04 beta

-----------------

- Modified EmbeddedHints so that the Hints fail to start if wininet.dll is not

present, rather than FlashMagic failing to start.

Version 0.03 beta

-----------------

- Changed the default EmbeddedHints

- Added "for Philips Semiconductors" to the Splash screen and Help About window

- Increased the Splash Screen delay to 4 seconds

- Added author's names to the Help About window

Version 0.02 beta

-----------------

- The text "COM Port:", "Baud Rate:", "Oscillator Freq. (MHz):", "Device" and "Hex
File:" were not being enabled and disabled with the other controls in their
sections. This is now fixed.

- Changed the "Verify" option to read "Verify After Programming"

- Moved the "Advanced Options" menu item from the ISP menu to a new Options menu

- Added "Reset" to the Options menu. Selecting it resets the main window and
advanced options window

- Fixed bug in EmbeddedHints: if a downloaded hint has the same ID as a hint

currently in use, the original hint was not replaced, so two copies of the same
hint were shown in the application.

- Adjusted spacing of the lines in the EmbeddedHints so the bottom line does not
look crushed.

Version 0.01 beta

-----------------

- The first beta version.

Known Issues
------------

- There are no known issues in this version.

Notes
-----

- It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that if using Windows95 or NT4, and baud rates higher
than 19200, either verification is performed after programming the device or the
checksums features is used. These versions of Windows appear to have reliability
problems above that baud rate, and while Flash Magic retries failed commands, if a
programming command fails in a certain way, incorrect data may be programmed.
