Change Log for EDT PCI DV Software/Driver Package
V6.x.x ChangeLog
=================================================
(For Linux device drivers, see also CHANGELOG_LINUX.txt and README.lnx.pkg.reqs)
Version Notes
* NOTE: Windows Versions 5.x are the new WDF drivers, designed for Win XP/32,
Vista/32&64 Win7/32&64. Always use a 5.x driver for Vista or Win7/8/10 or
any new installation
* Linux Versions 5.x use our updated package build and support the latest
Linux kernels
BE SURE you are using the correct driver for your operating system version:
* If you have applications built with XP/32 using 4.x packages, install the
matching 4.x driver package
* For new installations, or any installation where third-party software is or
can be recompiled/re-linked with newer EDT libs, use the latest 5.x package

may not. Either way, the ‘C’ library interface is strongly recommended
over direct IOCTL calls. If you are upgrading and don’t have a new manual,
then there will probably be some new routines that aren’t in your manual.
You can download a new manual from the EDT web site or just peruse the
library files (libpdv.c, libedt.c) and example programs (mainly take.c).
– pdv_open function prototype modified to accept just “pdv”, NULL or
INTERFACE (a #define in the header file) as first arg, unit number as
second arg, e.g. “pdv_open(NULL, 0)”. Old way will still works however
(“/dev/pdvN”). PDV_LOCKDEV arg no longer applies, and will be ignored if
specified.
– Several cameras added, including Hitachi KP-F100 and Kodak MEGAPLUS ES310.
