Annotated Snippet

Sat Dec 30 21:30 2000 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.0-20001230
	- Initial release of SYM-2.

Mon Jan 08 21:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.1-20010108
	- Change a couple of defines containing ncr or NCR by their 
	  equivalent containing sym or SYM instead.

Sun Jan 14 22:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.2-20010114
	- Fix a couple of printfs:
	  * Add the target number to the display of transfer parameters.
	  * Make the display of TCQ and queue depth clearer.

Wed Jan 17 23:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.3-20010117
	- Wrong residual values were returned in some situations.
	  This broke cdrecord with linux-2.4.0, for example.

Sat Jan 20 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.4-20010120
	- Add year 2001 to Copyright.
	- A tiny bug in the dma memory freeing path has been fixed.
	  (Driver unload failed with a bad address reference).

Wed Jan 24 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.5-20010124
	- Make the driver work under Linux-2.4.x when statically linked 
	  with the kernel.
	- Check against memory allocation failure for SCRIPTZ and add the 
	  missing free of this memory on instance detach.
	- Check against GPIO3 pulled low for HVD controllers (driver did 
	  just the opposite).
	  Misdetection of BUS mode was triggered on module reload only, 
	  since BIOS settings were trusted instead on first load.

Wed Feb 7 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.6-20010207
	- Call pci_enable_device() as wished by kernel maintainers.
	- Change the sym_queue_scsiio() interface.
	  This is intended to simplify portability.
	- Move the code intended to deal with the downloading of SCRIPTS
	  from SCRIPTS :) in the patch method (was wrongly placed in 
	  the SCRIPTS setup method).
	- Add a missing cpu_to_scr()  (np->abort_tbl.addr)
	- Remove a wrong cpu_to_scr() (np->targtbl_ba)
	- Cleanup a bit the PPR failure recovery code.

Sat Mar 3 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	- Add option SYM_OPT_ANNOUNCE_TRANSFER_RATE and move the 
	  corresponding code to file sym_misc.c.
	  Also move the code that sniffes INQUIRY to sym_misc.c.
	  This allows to share the corresponding code with NetBSD 
	  without polluating the core driver source (sym_hipd.c).
	- Add optional code that handles IO timeouts from the driver.
	  (not used under Linux, but required for NetBSD)
	- Do not assume any longer that PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are
	  defined at compile time, as at least NetBSD uses variables 
	  in memory for that.
	- Refine a work-around for the C1010-33 that consists in 
	  disabling internal LOAD/STORE. Was applied up to revision 1.
	  Is now only applied to revision 0.
	- Some code reorganisations due to code moves between files.

Tues Apr 10 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
	* version sym-2.1.9-20010412
	- Reset 53C896 and 53C1010 chip according to the manual.
	  (i.e.: set the ABRT bit in ISTAT if SCRIPTS are running)
	- Set #LUN in request sense only if scsi version <= 2 and
