v0.5.3

Bug fixes and several enhancements:

• Added support for advanced Gen2 target filtering
• Added reader.enable_stats() to retrieve statistics while asynchronous reading (thanks to @HanYangZhao)
• Added constructor antenna and protocol parameters for operations not using the read-plan
• Added tag.timestamp property
• Added reader.get_software_version() (thanks to @HanYangZhao)
• Added support for new regions: JP2,JP3,HK,VN,BD,TH,AR (thanks @HanYangZhao)
• Fixed MercuryAPI download location
• Fixed build issues on Mac (thanks to @Moebe1)

v0.5.2

Minor enhancements:

• Ability to specify EPC filter for read operations
• Added get_serial() to retrieve reader serial number

v0.5.1

Bugfixes and API consistency improvements. Also:

• Added tag memory read/write functions
• Modified arguments of the write() function to make filter (epc_target) optional

v0.5.0

Bug fixes and major enhancements. Added many new functions for:

• Read/write power control (thanks to @josheb)
• Antenna multiplexing (thanks to @mmigliavacca)
• Hop table and hop time manupulation
• GPIO handling
• Gen2 extensions (thanks to @DanWehr)

Many thanks to all contributors and bug reporters!

v0.4.1

Bug fixes.

v0.4

• Extended set_read_plan to read the "reserved", "epc", "tid" and/or "user" memory bank
• Added get_temperature, get_power_range, get_antennas, get_read_powers and set_read_powers functions (thanks to @Carbaz)

v0.3

Bug fixes.

v0.2

• Introduced start_reading and stop_reading for asynchronous reading.
• read now returns the TagReadData object instead of a tuple. This breaks compatibility with release v0.1, but enables support for much more tag attributes.
• set_read_plan has an optional read_power parameter.
• Compiles with both Python 2x and Python 3.x.
• Fixes several memory leaks.

v0.1

Initial release capable of reading RFID tags.
