The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[2.0.0] - 2020-06-24

Added

• All the fields may now be filled directly from the command-line. Use the -u switch to get the list of all the available fields.
• All the fields are now validated when necessary (previously, only the Area Symbols field was validated).
• PNG images are now supported for logo insertion (extracted from logotools). IP creator may be used to convert a PNG image into a MR image by using the -l and -s switches together.

Changed

• Complete redesign/refactoring of the whole code. Splitting code into many small source files instead of a single makeip.c file.
• Command-line options are now better handled.
• The possibility to use an external IP.TMPL was restored by using the -t switch.
• The embedded IP.TMPL file is now the LiENUS version instead of the original file (which was using the copyrighted AIP library).
• The ip.txt template file was changed a bit: the Hardware ID and Maker ID fields aren't necessary anymore. The Device Info field doesn't need to contains the fake 0000 CRC, only the CD-ROM1/1 value is needed now.

[1.5.0] - 2019-12-10

Added

• Support of command-line arguments to edit the fields of the IP.BIN.
• Support of MR image insertion into the IP.BIN.

Changed

• The IP.TMPL file is now embedded, it no longer depends of the external IP.TMPL file.
• Program is now licensed under the BSD 2-Clause License (previously it wasn't licensed).

[1.0.0] - 2000-09-05

Added

• Initial (unversioned) release.
