NEW FEATURES
============
1. Escalation C-031007-40570 - XPort - 2 & 4 Wire 485 Support and
   Escalation C-040209-45177 - XPort - Wants RS485 Support 
Support for RS422/RS485 has been added. The RS485 interface mode selection is provided in the 
setup menu, under Channel 1 configuration settings, same as in other Cobox products that support
RS485. There is an additional selection available on the configurable pins for the RS485 TX 
enable signal, as well as a selection through the Setup Menu, under the "Expert" settings, to 
set the active level of the RS485 TX enable signal. 

2. Escalation C-030627-37270 - XPort - Wants the ability to set HTTP port
   Escalation C-031215-43375 - UDS10 - Wants to change default port number web server listens 
   Escalation C-040510-48812 - XPort - Needs to be able to change the web server port number
There is an additional option available through the Setup Menu, under the "Expert" settings,
to configure the HTTP port number. Valid range is from 1 - 65535. A default value of 80 will
be used unless configured otherwise.

3. Escalation C-030717-37892 - XPort - Wants to be able to change email port number on XPort
There is an additional option available through the Setup Menu, under the "Expert" settings,
to configure the SMTP port number. Valid range is from 1 - 65535. A default value of 25 will
be used unless configured otherwise.

4. Firmware Download on the XPort-485 uses its own "Destination filename", which is "X3" 
(for all x485*.rom). Only firmware upgrades of this same type are accepted.

5. Disable Monitor Mode entry during reboot (only) 
There is an additional option available through the Setup Menu, under the "Expert" settings,
to disable the Monitor Mode only during the startup sequence. The prevents all entries into 
Monitor Mode except thru 'xxx' followed by 'M'. All other Monitor Mode entry sequences, 
e.g. 'zzz' and 'yyy', are blocked during startup. 

6. Setup Mode changes 
- Different Device Server information displayed, before the prompt to enter Setup Mode. 
  In the software information line that indicates which version is currently loaded, for 
  XPort-485 the text displayed is "XPT485". An additional line is displayed that indicates
  the current version of the AES library included in the build. 

- Some minor text display changes in the "Change Setup:" options.

7. Support for the SCR scheme to distinguish software features. 


=========
BUG FIXES
=========
1. Escalation C-040210-45266 - XPort/UDS100/10-With C1 & Port Pass Enabled Data Will Not 
   Transfer in either direction .
The check for a port password has been changed so that it does not apply to active 
outgoing connections.                                                                  

2. Escalation C-040308-46373: XPort/UDS- Reboots When Data Flowing Thru Serial On Bootup  
Changes have been made to the serial driver to clear out characters received erroneously while
the serial port was being initialized, and always check/clear receive errors. 

3. Escalation C-040330-47220: XPort-CoBox in General - Reboots With CTRL B On Startup
Change has been made so that even if the unit falsely prompts to enter setup mode, because of 
application's streaming serial data at various speeds, the unit will no longer reboot if
a <CR> is not received following the prompt. 

4. Escalation C-040426-48294 - MO11AA002-01-'C' Transmitted To Port 1 W/Port 2 Con Mode 13 
This has been fixed. Now if connect mode 13 is used on a given port, when a connection is 
established, the 'C' gets sent to the corresponding port, instead of always port 1.

5. Bug 1219: Bug in SETPAR.C 
The test for second channel in SShoChan function wasn't working properly. This test has been
fixed so that the "channel disabled" is determined correctly (i.e. only applies to channel 2)

6. Bug 1220: AutoIP - Default Gateway Issues 
If the gateway address was configured when AutoIP was used, then subsequent messages sent over
the network would be routed to the gateway. This has been corrected such that when using
AutoIP to obtain an address, the configured gateway address will be ignored when a network 
message is sent.

7. Changes in the EX PHY programming to accommodate operation at low temperatures.
