=================
General new features:
- Single official Opal Kelly driver used now that works on all Windows platforms (XP/Vista/7+32/64 bit).
	*The user must uninstall the old drivers manually, then install the new drivers.
	*You no longer need okFrontPanel32.dll and okFrontPanel64.dll - just okFrontPanel.dll.

- Added digital leak, which replaces leak calibration.
- Added system monitor functions.
- Autocomp can do digital leak and artifact removal now.

Changed/new structs:
- TECELLA_HW_PROPS: nslots field added.
- TECELLA_SYSTEM_MONITOR_RESULT: new
- TECELLA_ERRNUM: added TECELLA_ERR_DEVICE_CONTENTION error.

Changed function signatures / functionality:

- tecella_sw_filter_set_box: a convenience function for setting a simple box filter.
- tecella_sw_filter_set_lanczos: a convenience function for setting a lanczos filter.
- tecella_acquire_read_f: same as tecella_acquire_read_d, but for floats.

Extra notes about this release:
1) We upgraded to the official Opal Kelly Driver that works for all Windows platforms.
Why: Previous versions relied on a beta driver for 64-bit versions.
How this affects you:
a) You have to remove the old driver and install the new driver.
b) To uninstall the old driver, you may have to manually go to the device manager and select "delete the driver software for this device" when uninstalling the device.
c) Your application only needs okFrontPanel.dll instead of okFrontPanel32.dll and okFrontPanel64.dll.

2) Added digital leak compensation, which replaces leak calibration.
Why: Leak calibration (zeroing the offset after auto analog leak) was a hack and digital leak is the more general solution. Digital leak compensation allows for a more continuous leak compensation when used in conjunction with analog leak compensation. Analog leak compensation is still needed, however, to improve the dynamic range of the amplifier.
How this affects you:
a) When running auto leak, you should always use analog leak in conjunction with digital leak.
b) After running auto leak, use tecella_chan_get_digital_leak to get the amount of leak being compensated digitally.

3) Added system monitor functions.
Why: These functions allow you to monitor the voltages of the amplifier which will help diagnose a problematic system.
How this affects you:
a) When you want to add diagnostic functionality, you can implement the calls to tecella_system_monitor_run/get.

4) Autocomp can do digital leak and artifact removal now.
Why: For digital leak, see (3). We added artifact removal to tecella_auto_comp because it is basically free to perform simultaneously with any other compensation.
Pitfalls: Compared to a stand-alone artifact removal via tecella_auto_artifact_update, it may not be as accurate if you simultaneously auto comp cfast/clsow. Results are still pretty good, though.
How this affects you:
a) The call signature of tecella_auto_comp has changed.
b) You should consider setting use_digital_capacitance to true whenever you can (for example during every auto leak), since it's free.

5) Added filtering API
Why: Allows you to specify a low pass filter, which is useful for reducing noise when using a lower sampling rate.
How this affects you:
a) If you use a sample period multiplier of N, you should call tecella_sw_filter_set_box() with width = N before starting acquisition.
b) Alternatively, you may specify your own filter.

6) TECELLA_ERR_DEVICE_CONTENTION error if an acquisition, autocomp, or vcmd change overlaps.
Why: Device contention bugs are difficult to debug at the application level, so the API tries to fail early if it detects device contention.
How this affects you:
a) The following functions may now return TECELLA_ERR_DEVICE_CONTENTION: tecella_acquire_start, tecella_acquire_start_stimulus, tecella_stimulus_set, tecella_chan_set_stimulus, tecella_auto_comp, tecella_auto_artifact_update, tecella_auto_offset, tecella_auto_calibrate, tecella_auto_scale.

7) New dll requiriment: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.
Why: Dynamically linking this library supports throwing exceptions across DLL boundaries. Static linking of this library does not.
How this affects you:
a) You must include libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll with your application.
b) You may now throw exceptions from your callback functions and they should properly unwind the stack even as they go through the TecellaAmp.dll.



v0.117.1
=================
- Keep track of individual stimuli for TECELLA_ERR_DEVICE_CONTENTION.

v0.117.0

- Removes 1s delay when programing stimulus for some models of Apollo.

v0.116.1
=================
- Auto compensation with leak is clamped to within valid values.
- Fixes a bug where pairing up amplifiers would crash when running ZAP.

v0.116.0
=================
- tecella_auto_artifact_update() takes in t_hold and t_step arguments and uses t_step to determine for how long artifact removal should work.
- Added tecella_auto_artifact_decay_start(), that allows a user to specify when artifact removal should start decaying to prevent a sudden step if the artifact removal length is not long enough.
- Fixed a few bugs with amplifier pairing.

v0.115.0
=================
- Added preliminary support for pairing amplifiers together to make them look like a single amplifier.
- Added support for amplifiers that can be reconfigured on the fly.  tecella_user_config_get() tecella_user_config_set().
- Removed support for changing between voltage/current clamp, since no amplifiers support it.
- Fix bug where data could be lost as it's read from the amplifier.
- Fix small probability of hang when stopping acquisition.
- TECELLA_HW_PROPS added two new feilds: user_config_count, user_config_name.
- Fix a few bugs where enabling/disabling channels wouldn't work right.
- Fix "r6025 pure virtual function call" bug that shows up intermittently under heavy load with multiple threads.

v0.114.0
=================
- tecella_auto_comp takes a new parameter, under_comp_coefficient, to give the user control over how much capacitance should be over/under compensated.
- Added a new function, tecella_auto_artifact_get_capacitance, that returns the equivalent capacitance of the artifact removal.

v0.113.1
=================
- Fix bug in autocomp algorithm.

v0.113.0
=================
- Accidentally changed serial_number field of hw_props in v0.112.0 to char from wchar_t.  Changed it back to wchar_t.
- Fixes Zap for old Tritons.

v0.112.0
=================
- Adds an enumeration interface that allows the user to work with multiple amplifiers simultaneously.
- The second argument to tecella_initialize() is now a device index instead of a model type.  Using the TECELLA_HW_MODEL_AUTO_DETECT value as the index should still have the same effect.

v0.111.11
=================
- tecella_auto_comp with leak works with rseries enabled again. (Fixed Rleak>Rseries restrictions used during autocomp.)

v0.111.10
=================
- Artifact removal is now only disabled during tecella_auto_comp() if a cfast/cslow is used.
- Fixes bug where auto leak calibration would be unstable (infinity).
- The auto calibrate leak no longer keeps the baseline at 0 for all values of leak:
	1)The baseline will be 0 for the leak value calculated by tecella_auto_comp.
	2)The baseline will be the orignal value if leak is set back to zero.
	3)All other values of leak will linearly interpolate the baseline between 1 and 2.

- Fixes bug in previous version that would result in incorrect leak calibration.

v0.111.8
=================
- A new restriction is enforced that requires Rleak>Rseries.
	This restriction is taken into account automatically during tecella_auto_comp.
	If the user breaks this restriction, an error will be returned.
- Fpga would not be reset if firware was deteceted during initialization.  Fpga is now reset just in case.

v0.111.7
=================
- Add new TritonPlus configuration.

v0.111.6
=================
- Programming the firmware would produce spurious stimulus pulses, so the firmware is only programmed on the first initialization after power-up instead of on every initialization.
- The source now defaults to NONE instead of HEAD after initialization, so that the user may specify a holding voltage instead before HEAD is selected.
- Removed the serial number dependency for some TritonPlus configs.

v0.111.5
=================
- Special case a single TritonPlus amplifier with a different leak range.

v0.111.4

=================
- When tecella_finalize is called, the vcmds are now put into a state that shouldn't oscillate during the next call to tecella_initialize.
- Add 1s delays after changing JP during tecella_auto_offset to allow the response to settle.


v0.107.0
=================
- !!Binary interface change!! - Add "iterations" argument to tecella_auto_comp().
- Re-enable rseries properly after tecella_auto_comp().
- Disable leak during tecella_auto_offset().
- Fix rounding error on register bounds checking.

v0.105.1
=================
- Added tecella_debug() that logs API function calls + arguments to a file.
- More robust bounds checking / error detecting / vcmd validation.
- Change bit file search back to the old way:
	- Looks in executable directory instead of working directory.
- Fix sample notifications that broke in v0.105.0.
- Make hardware initialization a little faster.
- When setting registers values, the values are now rounded to the nearest valid value instead of truncated a lower value.


v0.105.0
=================
- !!WARNING!!: Your program will crash if you call tecella_auto_offset() using the old argument list.
- Binary interface change to accomodate the following:
- tecella_auto_offset() now performs automatic JP calculation.
	ie: tecella_auto_offset() compensates for EXTERNAL offsets by offseting the stimulus.
- tecella_auto_calibrate() performs the same function as the old tecella_auto_offset()
	ie: tecella_auto_calibrate() compensates for INTERNAL offsets by offseting the measured current.

v0.104.11
=================
- Stimuli with more than ~2^32 samples would acquire incorrect amount of data or crash.  Limit extended to ~2^64 samples.

- Fixed bug on TritonPlus where graph looks filtered after enabling rseries.
- Acquisition stops automatically if no data is present on WallE.
- Beta support for 64-bit Vista added.
	- okFrontPanel32.dll and okFrontPanel64.dll must be used instead of okFrontPanel.dll.

	-Note: The user must now set the holding voltage explicitly using tecella_stimulus_set_hold(), instead of relying on the first/last segment of the vcmd.
	-Note: Minimum segment count is still 3 due to hardware/firmware limitations.
-Stimulus notifications from internal API acquisitions are no longer reported.
-First call to tecella_stimulus_start() failed in previous version.  Now fixed.
-Fixed stimulus notifications for Triton and Triton Plus.
-Enhancements to Artifact removal.


v0.104.0
=================
Support for stimulus only channels added via tecella_utlility_set_stimulus(_).

Timestamp functionality implemented and is now a 64 bit unsigned integer (unsigned long long).

tecella_chan_set*() and tecella_stimulus_set() functions queue their commands and return immediately instead of blocking until the request is complete.

Added stimulus notification callback (TECELLA_STIMULUS_CB), which is guaranteed to be called before notification of samples in acquire callback.

Gain labels (from tecella_get_gain_label()) now reflect actual feedback resistor values of the connected hardware.

Auto offset and auto scale are not run during initialization any more and should be called manually after tecella_initialize().

Fixed bug where maximum reported stimulus segment was incorrect.

Fixed bug where tecella_auto* functions would not work if user acquired with a sample period other than 50us.

Fixed bug where sample counts for ramp/delta/repeat segments were incorrect.

Fixed bug where sample count returned by tecella_stimulus_sample_count did not match actual number of samples returned.


v0.103.0
=================
Ramp and delta segments fully supported.
Autocomp on a vcmd while acquiring on others works now.
Fixed various bugs that were notifying the API user of internal data.
TecellaTLC split off into a separate dll to fix 2GB limit.
	-Compiled by gcc instead of msvc, so please notify us of any incompatibilities.
Fix invalid memory access if acquiring when a vcmd has not been set.
Interface for timestamping data added (but not implemented).
Interface for signaling last sample added (but not implemented).
Numerous memory leaks patched.

v0.102.3
=================
When programming a vcmd, tecella_stimulus_set takes in two integers (step_count and repeat_count) instead of an int and a bool (iterations and loop).
	Be careful, as old code will still compile but will likely be invalid!
Added initial support for delta and ramp stimulus types.
	Known bugs, to be fixed:
	A stimulus with a delta segment is limited to 3 segments.
	A stimulus cannot have both a delta and a ramp segment.
Added initial support for artifact removal, which digitally compensates for any imperfections in the analog compensation (calculated by tecella_autocomp or otherwise.)
	Known bugs, to be fixed: Doesn't work all the time with async stimuli.
	Known limitations: Does not work for delta and ramp segments.
"Invalid argument" error code added.

v0.102.2
=================
Automatic gain calibration done during initialization.
Function added to specify the stimulus value on the fly.  (See tecella_stimulus_set_hold.)
Fixed sample period specification - it can now be any multiple of 50e-6 seconds.
Added utility dac interface.  (See tecella_utility_dac_set.)
Changed error codes.


v0.102.0
=================
Better async vcmd support:
	Individual stimuli can be stopped.
	More options to only acquire while a vcmd is playing.
	Frame size reduced from 1 second to ~10us for reduced latency.
Auto Compensation
	Works for Richmond and TritonPlus now.
	More options added to specify test pulse amplitude and which compensations to use.
	Note: support for autcompensation while acquiring is not supported yet.
Revamped error reporting:
	Initialization failures returned.
	SW buffer overflow.
Rounding errors fixed for tecella_get_stimulus().
Simple holding voltage can be specified with tecella_stimulus_set_hold() instead of having to programming a vcmd.
tecella_stimulus_zap() works now.
Polarity of vcmd/acquisition fixed for several products.
Capture bit removed from stimuls segment.

v0.101.5
=================
Support added for Jet.
Autodetect support added for initialization.

v0.101.4
=================
Bessel filter channel selection works properly now.

v0.101.3
=================
Preliminary multi/async vcmd support for hardware that supports it.

v0.101.2
=================
This is our first full release for which we expect the API to remain fairly consistent.

A new acquisition scheme has been implemented that doesn't block the calling thread.

Known issues, that will be fixed in the future:
	-Changing the channel settings can be a little slow.
	-Other than tecella_initialize(), error reporting isn't very robust.
	-Zap is not yet implemented.
	-Auto-detect of the model of the connected device doesn't work.
