22. Release Notes
22.1. Known problems
 The UART does not support odd or even parity, only no parity is supported.
 Flow control: RTS may fail to de-assert quickly enough for some high speed CPUs to
correctly stop sending data bytes. For high speed transfers at baudrates > 460800, it is best to
limit RX data to the maximum Ethernet frame (1460 bytes) and have a protocol to
acknowledge data is received by the remote host.
22.2. Current Firmware features and fixes
As of ver 2.30 10/26/2011
Firmware fixes and features:
1. Added support for incorrect WPA modes, namely WAPv1 with AES encryption and WPAv2 with TKIP
encryption.
2. Added support for WEP shared mode
3. Increased FTP filename size to 64 bytes
4. Added a new reboot register in Adhoc parameters. This register is reserved for future development and should not
be used. Please leave it to default values.
5. Added a new debug register in the system parameters. This register is reserved for future development and
should not be used. Please leave it to default values.
As of ver 2.27 09/08/11
Firmware fixes and features:
1. Added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) push button mode
2. Added support for WEP64 encryption
3. Added support for backup IP address
4. Added a new TCPMODE register to control TCP connect timers, force DNS and remote configuration
5. Added new bit in uart mode register (bit 5) in which replaces the <2.23>\r\n in console with the replace character
6. Fixed the FTP file “put” mode so it over rides HTTP mode. In ver 2.23 if HTTP protocol is set and/or option
format is set, extra data would be added to FTP put file data. This has been fixed in ver 2.28.
7. Fixed a bug where if the TCP_CLIENT mode is set, the module would randomly attempt outgoing connections.
8. Fixed a bug in FTP data write mode whereby sometimes the *OPEN* status string came back over the uart before
the file transfer was actually ready. This fix also improves the speed of FTP open in write mode, such that the
*OPEN* will be faster.
