  • This increases performance, esp. when debugging on Android.

2.1.4.20080808

• added CPhidgetSBC and CPhidgetSBCManager to the c library - these interfaces are hidden from users and meant to be used internally (for now).
• CPhidgetManager_open no longer blocks to send out initial attach events. These initial events are sent from the CentralThread context like all other attach events.
• fixed CThread_wait_on_event on Linux

• added names to some arguments in phidget21.h
• fixes to the webservice for initial state stuff - now it behaves almost like non-webservice, with guaranteed initial events, but we don't guarantee initial state in the attach event yet. Min/Max, Num motors, inputs, etc. are all guaranteed in the attach handler.
• Finalized support for Phidget Stepper

2.1.3.20080402

• Fixed windows BUG - Device Type was showing up wrong
