Contributors

This release we had 2 new contributors - @ryandesign & @mynameistroy - for a total of 5 contributors this release - Thanks everyone!

Expanded SCSI support

• This release added support for the following new commands, Test Unit Ready, Read Defect Data, Lock/Unlock Cache, PreFetch, Prevent Allow Removal.
• Fixed a bug that reported multiple LUNs when none present.
• Added additional Sense responses.
• More speed, timing, and performance improvements

These fixes should improve and fix many issues users had on non-mac systems.

XCVR Hardware in mainline

Patches to build the transceiver versions of BlueSCSI are now in main and bins will be provided each release.

Support for a new clone, the APM32F103C8T6 and Overclocking.

We got our hands on a new chip that is a clone of the STM32F1 - the APM32F1. It works great, except it does not seem to work at the stock 72MHz - only at 96 or 128MHz. bins will be provided for those speeds.

If you'd like to try your hand at overclocking you can flash 96/128MHz to your existing STM32F1 and get speeds of around 1.8MB/sec read, 1.6MB/sec write - not bad! While we've been testing and found no issue - overclock at your own risk.

And a lot more
