READ ME: Current MASTER status

[doegox]

Hi all Currently, the master is "bleeding edge", maybe a bit more than usual ;) You've basically two options depending which techs you want to address:

• Use the latest release https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/releases/tag/v4.9237

  • HF: ISO14443A, ISO14443B, ISO15693, FELICA

• Use the master branch

  • HF: FeliCa crashes, all others OK.

Keep away from compiling BTADDON

[iceman1001]

Even more bleeding edge than expected.

As of right now, don't compile with BTADDON option on current master.

Curiously, are there any current "outstanding" issues or features pending before a release can be branched?

[tcprst]

We're finishing up with the cliparser for all commands before a release.

[iceman1001]

and having a check on what made BTADDON compiled fw unstable on device. Then its ready for a new release

[iceman1001]

We did much bug fixes from coverity scan & cppchecker since last summer. @mwalker33 et all has tested BTADDON last week and don't find any issues with it. Maybe not a conclusive testing but atleast I am getting comfortable enough for recommend we close this issue about BTADDON.

I am getting comfortable enough for recommend we close this issue about BTADDON.

enough to allow for a new release once cliparser is done?

[iceman1001]

yes

In my tests BTADDON and/or FPC_USART_DEV still have the issues (unusable antennas and UART:: write time-out) on Kali LInux:

[=] Using UART port /dev/ttyACM0
[=] Communicating with PM3 over USB-CDC

Cliparser is now implemented everywhere. Next stop, 14B timings... After that we can prep for a new release.

I am sure there are some minor bugs related to the cliparse changes hiding plain sight.

[iceman1001]

I pushed a fix for 14b timings, so time to weed out show stopper bugs

[iceman1001]

Closing, since we now have a new release and not much feedback about broken functionality.
