Re: Question about symbol library updates

 

Up until the conversion to the new library file format, I'm pretty sure
the 5.1.x tags are the same between GitHub and GitLab.  Apparently the
PCIe symbol library was added after the 5.1.9 tag and wont be available
until V6 unless users check out the last commit before the libraries
were converted to the V6 file format.  Maybe one of the library devs can
give you a better answer if this is not satisfactory.

Cheers,

Wayne
