pySerial v3.0.a0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-09-22 // over 8 years ago
    • 🚀 Starting from this release, only Python 2.7 and 3.2 (or newer) are supported. The source code is compatible to the 2.x and 3.x series without any changes. The support for earlier Python versions than 2.7 is removed, please refer to the pyserial-legacy (V2.x) series if older Python versions are a requirement).
    • ⚡️ Development moved to github, update links in docs.
    • API changes: properties for rts, dtr, cts, dsr, cd, ri, in_waiting (instead of get/set functions)
    • remove file FileLike class, add read_until and iread_until to SerialBase
    • 🚚 RS485 support changed (rts_toggle removed, added serial.rs485 module and rs485_mode property)
    • socket:// and rfc2217:// handlers use the IPv6 compatible socket.create_connection
    • 🆕 New URL handler: spy:://.
    • URL handlers now require the proper format (? and &) for arguments instead of / (e.g. rfc2217://localhost:7000?ign_set_control&timeout=5.5)
