RELEASE NOTES
=============
Silicon Labs Virtual COM Port (VCP) Universal Driver for Windows 10 version 1803 and later, windows 11

Package version: 11.3.0
Release date:    2023-05-26

This package contains a Virtual COM Port Universal driver for Microsoft
Windows 10 version 1803 and later, windows 11 versions of Windows for use with Silicon Labs VCP USB Serial Bridges.  These devices
include the CP2102N, CP2102, CP2103, CP2104, CP2105, CP2108, CP2109.

OS VERSIONS
-----------
This package provides the CP210x VCP driver for the following versions
of Windows:

- Windows 10 version 1803 and later (x64, x86)
- Windows 11    (x64)

CHOOSING VCP DRIVER VERSION
---------------------------
VCP drivers of version 11.1.0 and later are released for Microsoft
Windows 10 version 1803 and later, windows 11 versions of Windows as Universal Drivers.
This means they do not work on older version of Windows
such as Window 7 and 8.1.  You should use this driver if you only need
support for Windows 10 version 1803 and later, windows 11, or you need the Universal driver.  If you require
support on older versions of Windows, you should use the legacy VCP driver
which can be found on the Silicon Labs web site.  The legacy Windows VCP
drivers have version numbers less than 10.0.0.

CONTENTS
--------
The VCP driver package contains the following files and directories:
- silabser.inf -- Driver information file
- SLAB_License_Agreement_VCP_Windows.txt -- Software License
- CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver_ReleaseNotes.txt -- this file

Additional files needed by installer
- silabser.cat
- x64/silabser.sys
- x86/silabser.sys

INSTALLING
----------
The VCP driver is automatically installed by Windows Update for CP210x with
alternate PID values of 0xEA63, 0xEA7A, and 0xEA7B.  These are not default
values.

Otherwise, unzip the .zip file and you will have a directory containing the
driver installer files.

- CP210XFW-747: Add 3 new parallel PIDs one each for the single-, dual- &
  quad-port CP210x devices (to be distributed via Windows Update)
- CP210XFW-741: Fix driver to use correct interface string index for the
  multi-interface CP210x devices (CP2105 & CP2108). Return iProduct string
  for other CP210x devices.
- CP210XFW-713: Add protection against IRP_MJ_CLOSE coming before
  IRP_MJ_CLEANUP. In such case EvtFileCleanup callback was called with 0
  FileObject, causeing a crash. Serenum is suspected of causing this, even
  though there is no proof except that it's present, was introduced recently
  and this crash was never registered before.
- CP210XFW-691: Fixed race between timer activation and request cancelation
  during processing of read rwquests.
- Changed raw WDF read request timer to our wrapper.
- CP210XFW-693: bugfix: WMI command "wmic path Win32_SerialPort get
  Availability^, DeviceID^, Name" is unable to enumerate the port.
- CP210XFW-686: EvtRequestCancel for wait mask IRP crashed because the
  request was already completed. It didn't serialize well with other places
  that can complete it. It looked like XOff IRP may have the same proble. This
  patch is adding an extra check into *all* other EvtRequestCancel functions
  to make sure this doesn't happen again.
- Changed IOCTLs returning polled-cached MDMSTS to explicitly read the
  status. Use reg value DisableHwAccessInModemStatusIoctls to revert this
  new functionality to old behavior.
- Improved debug prints.
- SerialDbgPrintEx used 1K of stack for the string, reduced to 256.
- Resolved many static Code Analysis warnings
- Added accounting for data in chip's TX queue. Added translation of
  COMM_STATUS::ulErrors into SERIAL_EV_BREAK and SERIAL_EV_ERR.
- CP210XFW-549, CP210XFW-536, CP210XFW-546: Generate events for
  IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK from COMM_STATUS::ulErrors. Can be disabled by
  DisableCommStatusPolling reg value.
- Added spinlock around ModemStatus change detection. Refactored modem
  status event signalling to use common function.
- Move passive level functions into the paged section.
- MCUFW-740: Made device close operation wait for chip's Tx queue to empty.
  Added registry settings DisableTxEmptyCheckInClose and
  TxEmptyTimeoutOnCloseInMs.
- Improve control transfer debug prints and clean up code, otherwise no
  functional changes.
- MCUFW-740: Fixed EV_TXEMPTY to account for bytes in chip's Tx queue.
- MCUFW-740: New functions to sync access to comm error storage from
  multiple threads.
- Added DisableTxEmptyCheckInGetCommStatusIoctl reg value.
- Refactor control request I/O. MCUFW-740: Fixed
  IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_COMMSTATUS.
- MCUFW-740: Made device close operation wait for chip's Tx queue to empty.
  Added registry settings DisableTxEmptyCheckInClose and
  TxEmptyTimeoutOnCloseInMs.
- CP210XFW-648: Set a three second timeout on
  WdfUsbTargetDeviceSendControlTransferSynchronously().

- Corrected memory leak that occurs when a device is plugged/unplugged
  rapidly enough to allow driver startup function to fail

******************************************************************************
    RELEASE NOTES FOR 6.5

- Corrected BSOD corner case issue for handling control requests

  of order

******************************************************************************

  requests to the USB device, and the write completion method
- Corrected device removal routine to also undo the COM port naming in the
  registry at removal time instead of when the device is closed after the
  removal.

******************************************************************************
    RELEASE NOTES FOR 6.3a

- Updated to 3.2 DriverInstaller to correct a bug seen when updating from an
  old driver installer version	

******************************************************************************

- Corrected a bug introduced in 6.2 which caused BSOD during surprise removal.
- Corrected a bug found in I/O cancellation corner case

******************************************************************************
    RELEASE NOTES FOR 6.2

- Corrected return value for DeviceIoControl() and other COM API functions
  once the device is removed to properly show ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (0x05)
  instead of ERROR_BAD_COMMAND in GetLastError()
- Corrected bug in DTR/RTS reporting latency seen if you set DTR/RTS and ask
  for it before the device has reported it to the host - now when it is
  written it reads back immediately
- Corrected several USB requests that were improperly defined as device
  requests when they are actually interface requests - this doesn't exhibit
  and bugs in current single interface devices but was changed to be complete
  and correct
- Added support for CP2104 and CP2105 devices	

******************************************************************************
    RELEASE NOTES FOR 6.1

- Corrected a memory leak which could bog the system down after extended use
  of a contiuously opened COM port, and conditionally yield bluescreens on
  certain systems
- Corrected a problem where an IO reqest would sometimes return a busy
  status to user mode, instead the queue is restarted if necessary before
  adding an IO request to the queue
- Corrected a condition which would blue screen on cancelling write request
  that hasn't been fully sent out USB
- Corrected the Capabilites return value, which incorrectly reported that
  timeouts are not supported

  Enumeration is disabled
- Corrected the ability to override Baud Rate and Line Control from the INF
  file

******************************************************************************
