v0.11.2 - 2023-01-16

Changed

  • Relax muontrap dependency requirement

v0.11.1 - 2022-05-02

Changed

  • :vintage_net v0.12.0 or later is required

v0.11.0 - 2022-02-25

Added

v0.10.4 - 2022-02-16

Fixed

  • Fixed dropped pppd notifications to Elixir when using Nerves systems with glibc v2.33 and later. This affects Nerves toolchains with version numbers v1.4.2 and later.

v0.10.3

  • Changes
    • Allow muontrap v1.0.0 to be used

v0.10.2

  • Changes
    • Support vintage_net v0.11.x as well.

v0.10.1

  • Bug fixes
    • vintage_net v0.10.4 had a fix to route setup to remove a DHCP renewal hiccup and a routing API change that only affected this project. This updates to the new API to remove a deprecation warning. That also means that at least vintage_net v0.10.4 is required now and the deps force this.

v0.10.0

This release contains no code changes. It only updates the vintage_net dependency to allow vintage_net v0.10.0 to be used.

v0.9.2

  • New features

    • Huawei E3372 support - Thanks to Hans Pagh for contributing his implementation.

  • Bug fixes

    • Handle more types of CREG responses. This should reduce warnings from the CellMonitor code

v0.9.1

  • New features
    • Support non-default tty paths for Quectel modems

v0.9.0

  • New features
    • Add initial support for using the VintageNet.PowerManagerto manage the power to cellular modems. This allows VintageNet to power on and off a modem as needed and if it becomes unresponsive. To use this, you will need to provide an implementation of VintageNet.PowerManager that can control the GPIO (or whatever) connections that enable power and can send appropriate UART commands to power off. This only has been tested with Quectel BG96 and EC25 modems, but should be applicable to all modems.
    • Synchronize with vintage_net v0.9.0's networking program path API update

v0.8.0

(Skipping version numbers to make the version match vintage_net for ease of remembering which versions are compatible.)

  • New features

    • Add :chatscript_additions option to the modem configuration to support arbitrary chatscript lines so that application-specific customizations don't require you to make a custom modem. Of course, if you have an option of general interest, please continue to make PRs.
    • Support vintage_net v0.8.0's required_ifnames API update. This cleans up some modem detection for non-usb_modswitch modems. If you have a fork of this project, you'll need to update it. See commit 06456c3bc/PR #66 for how the supported modems were changed.

  • Bug fixes

    • Cleaned up handling of PPP disconnections. Amazingly, OTP supervision could recover some of this, but the logs were really ugly and more work was done than needed.

v0.2.3

  • Updates
    • Allow muontrap v0.6.0 to be used since the breaking change doesn't affect vintage_net_mobile
    • Force vintage_net v0.7.9 or later to pull in PPP IP address fix

v0.2.2

  • New features
    • Added a "monitor" for reporting a SIM card's ICCID and IMSI. These are useful for debugging issues with service providers. Currently this is only available on the BG96, but can easily be added to other modems as testing permits.

v0.2.1

This release has improvements and bug fixes throughout, but primarily for the Quectel EC25 (LTE Cat 4 modem) and Quectel BG96 (LTE Cat M1/NB1 modem)

  • New features
    • Network connection stats for the EC25 and BG96 modems. This lets you see how the modem connected (GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc) and to which cell tower (cell id, lac, mcc, mnc). This is useful for debug and geolocation.
    • Improved signal strength reporting. The reports are now in ASU (arbitrary strength units), dBm, and bars. Bars ranges from 0 bars (no connection) to 4 bars (strong signal) similar to a cell phone

v0.2.0

This release has significant changes to the configuration API and VintageNetMobile.Modem behaviour. No migration from the old version is supported. We don't expect to majorly change the API in future releases. Updates will be more incremental. The plan is to add configuration migrations so that devices in the field can continue to work between vintage_net_mobile updates.

To upgrade, find the module documentation for your modem. There will be a configuration example that should look familiar.

v0.1.2

  • Bug fix
    • Prevent VintageNet from trying to run ppp before a modem is ready.

v0.1.1

v0.1.0

Initial vintage_net_mobile release.
