Version 0.2 of the SHARK beta AV drivers are now available. This version
includes several bug fixes, simplifies installation on non-standard
directory trees, etc. More importantly, versions are available for both
the 19980407 and the 19981224 arm32 snapshots.
AV is available at:
For 19980407 source trees (original SHARK distribution):
ftp://ftp.talix.com/pub/av/av-0.2-netbsd/19980407.tar.gz
For 19981224 source trees (latest arm32 distribution):
ftp://ftp.talix.com/pub/av/av-0.2-netbsd/19981224.tar.gz
Note that the major device number has been changed due to the inclusion of
additional device drivers in newer NetBSD distributions.
As always, comments/suggestions/feedback are appreciated!
Cheers!

Changes from V0.1 to V0.2:
- Updated sources for better compatibility with multiple
versions of NetBSD.
- Fixed several minor source bugs discovered as a result of
using EGCS.
- Major device number changed in MAKEDEV.patch install script
due to other new devices in NetBSD.
- Changed install script for sys-relative addressing, instead of
sys's parent directory, for less reliance on user's directory
structure.
- Corrected a problem with some versions of NetBSD which could
cause microtime() errors in the kernel log when attaching the
IR device.
- Eliminated spurious IR transmit-underrun events which were
creating unnecessary interrupt overhead.
- Changed tar filename version encoding to more familar format.
