Add support for Windows 8 and Server 2012 and REMOVED support for Vista. 2. Assign COMx names for compound Edgeports (EP/4, EP/8, EP/16) in order at device install time and improve FriendlyName to show external unit-relative port numbers instead of internal port numbers. Example (port 5 of an EdgePort/8): v5.30 FriendlyName = EdgePort [44871896-2] Serial Port - 1 (COM7) v5.70 FriendlyName = EdgePort [V44871896] Serial Port - 5 (COM7) 3. Re-Implement modem enumeration for EdgePort as well as RapidPort. It was removed because it mistook certain POS devices for serial mouses. However, unlike the implementations in previous versions, modem enumeration is disabled by default at install time, but can be enabled via the config utility. 4. The Self-extracting zip file, in addition to extracting files to the "c:\edgeport drivers" folder, now installs the drivers in the Driver Store in all operatings systems from Windows 7 and above. In earlier OS's it installs them in the default c:\windows\inf folder. EdgePorts and RapidPorts require no user intervention to install. 5. EdgePort did not properly enumerate when attached to a USB 3.0 Host Controller resulting in BSOD. Fixed. 6. EdgePort Config Util uninstaller did not remove RapidPort modems. Fixed. v5.30 1. Add support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. 2. Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 drivers are available via Windows Update 3. Drivers for all other Microsoft Operating Systems will no longer be available via Windows Update. 4. Fix problem with performing immediate reads with a full RX buffer. KNOWN ISSUES: 1. When a user changes the COMx assignment of an EdgePort serial port through the EdgePort Configuration Utility, the change is not automatically reflected in the Device Manager. As a work-around you can right click on the port (in Device Manager) and select Disable. Then right-click again on the port and select Enable. This will be fixed in the next release.
