- Users may consult the ```y_serial_dev.py``` module itself for detailed
documentation. That single file is the latest and all you need for
execution, see HOWTO http://yserial.sourceforge.net
It's been five years since the last release -- v060 was rock-solid stable. For the latest release, we can certify that it works under Python 2.7.8 and IPython 2.3.0. We changed the default database db0 for the development version to work under /tmp, and the encoding of the source code is now officially utf-8. Nice to see that our work has been useful in IPython notebooks and clusters.
Over the last five years, there has been a dramatic shift to git as a primary tool for version control, and to GitHub as a community development site -- thus we have decided to drop Mercurial-hg for version control.
The yserial repository at GitHub formerly was a hg mirror, but henceforth it will become the primary development site. (The hg-git extension, maintained by durin42, was used to create the mirror.) Mercurial is obviously not supported at GitHub, but our repository is easy to clone using a generic hg command.
- Annotated TAGS will adopt the following semantic versioning form:
vN.mm.b where N= major, mm= minor, b= bugfix numbers, e.g. v0.60.1
The development style using Mercurial version control is discussed in the docs/02-hg-dev-stable-branch.html [deleted as of 2015-04-19]. There are two branches in the repo: default and stable. The default branch is for non-bug development, while the stable branch is for bug fixes.
Recorded TAGS will generally take the semantic versioning form: vNmm.b where N= major, mm= minor, b= bugfix numbers, e.g. v060.1
Our primary development repository has shifted from SourceForge to Bitbucket, please see https://bitbucket.org/rsvp/yserial
We will continue to use Mercurial-hg for version control, however, using the hg-git extension we will maintain a mirror at GitHub.

Development site during this period was SourceForge, please see http://sourceforge.net/projects/yserial/
Coding began there with v018 on 2009-09-06.
Thanks very much for participating in this project. We appreciate your collaboration in developing our code.
