> Bug fixes to this release will start with '3.0.1' through '3.0.n'.

> Version 3.0
>         2015-09-20
>         * Kill RPC backends and rpc.rigd/rpc.rotd
>         * Remove -e|--end-marker option from rigctld and rotctld
>         * Build system updates--remove obsolete macros, autogen.sh now
>                 runs autoreconf to invoke Autotools to bootstrap the build
>                 system, libltdl is installed into the source tree as a part
>                 of the build system bootstrap and is included in the source
>                 tarball, ABI version is set to be compatible with the 1.2
>                 series, all Autotools installed files are copied rather than
>                 symlinked and put in the build-aux directory, building
>                 rigmem and rigmatrix are now user selectable at configure
>                 run time, building static libraries are disabled by default.
>                 Fixed TCL binding installation, fixed Perl binding build so it
>                 is not invoked by 'make dist' and clean up build files.  Cleaned
>                 up bindings builds to occur in alphabetical order.  Use new
>                 ax_pkg_swig macro and update ax_python_devel macro.  Test for
>                 presence of pkg-config before testing for pkg-config use.
>         * Implement new RIT/XIT activation/deactivation through rig_get/set_func()
>         * IC-PCR1500/2500 default write_delay to 0, IC-746/756, IC-PCR8500
>                 fixes, pcr.c, pcr1500.c: Add DSP support.  TNX Paul, KE7ZZ
>         * WinRadio G313 updates.  TNX Julian Campbel
>         * Readline editing and history support added to rigctl interactive
>                 mode.  Implement options for reading and writing history file.
>         * Readline editing and history support added to rotctl interactive
>                 mode.  Implement options for reading and writing history file.
>         * A new manual draft written in Texinfo added.  Both GNU Info and single
>                 HTML files are built and distributed, requires makeinfo.
>         * Android build system support.  See android/README.android.  Android
>                 Makefile fragments are included in source tarballs.
>         * Monolithic library, thanks to Remi Chateauneu for the majority of
>                 the work!  This allows enabling of a single static library so
>                 static libs are enabled by default.  Removes dependency on libltdl.
>         * Fixes to easycomm, TNX Steve AI4QR.
>         * Fixes to port handling allowing PTT and CAT on the same port.  TNX
>                 Bill, G4WJS.
>         * New Peaberry models V1 and V2 added to kit backend.  TNX ON8VQ
>                 and R2AEE.
>         * New IC-7100 model.  TNX Martin, CT1IQI.
>         * Use AC_CHECK_LIB macro to search for libusb rather than rely on
>             pkg-config.  Preserve environment variables LIBUSB_CFLAGS and
>             LIBUSB_LIBS as user precious variables.  Two features,
>             --with-xml-support and --enable-usrp still rely on pkg-config so
>             only invoke pkg-config when either or both of these features are
>             selected.  Only the Winradio g313 model uses libdl so test for it
>             only when Winradio backend is enabled.
>         * New IC-M700PRO, IC-M710, IC-M802.
>         * New Icom ID-5100 model.
>         * New rotor, cnctrk by KI4SBL
>         * Many backend fixes and updates from many contributors (see Git
>           log for complete details).
> 
> Also all work from 1.2.15.3 and prior releases.

> 
> TODO:
> 
> Continue to improve the documentation.  This includes completing the
> included manual and migrating content from the old MediaWiki format to
> the Markdown format now used by SourceForge.net.  Target: ongoing.
> 
> Due to the apparent lack of a libusb package for Windows 64 bit, trial
> builds of the current Hamlib for W64 lack support for the USB backends.
> The project should transition these backends to the newer libusb 1.0
> series.  Target: 3.1.
> 
> Continue to accept support for new radios and devices and improvement to
> existing radios and devices.  Hamlib has a large list of contributors
> and development relies on testing and code contributions from owners of
> the many varied radios, rotors, and whatever else Hamlib may come to
> support in the future.

> 
> The Hamlib Group offers their sincere thanks for everyone whose work has
