Version 4.0.7-beta1
-------------
- [all] Fix baud rate parsing in serialport-terminal thanks to @radio-miskovice for reporting it!
- [windows] Refactor `SerialPort.list` to be a lot smaller and pickup vendorId, productId and locationId thanks to @zensey for #877!

Version 4.0.6
-------------
- [all] Upgrade nan to fix compile issues on some platforms thanks to @thom-nic
- [all] Upgrade debug and node-pre-gyp

- [all] Fix memory leak during opening a port

Version 4.0.4
-------------
- Add precompiled binaries for node 7

Version 4.0.3
-------------
- Switch to the lie promise library as it's smaller and mimics nodejs's promise closer
- Fix a bug that prevented reopening a port after an open error

Version 4.0.2
-------------
- [unix] Fix a bug when we'd crash when pausing during a read

Version 4.0.1
-------------
 - [linux] Do not replace the native Promise when it is available thanks to @zewish for the fix

Version 4.0.0
-------------
 - Requiring `serialport` now returns the SerialPort constructor function instead of a factory object. `SerialPort.SerialPort` is now depreciated.
 - `SerialPort` constructor now throws on argument errors immediately.
 - `.write(writeCallback)` now only calls it's callback once after the entire write operation, it used to be called for each write cycle and return the bytes written. This reduces the number of callbacks by hundreds of thousands over a megabyte at low bandwidth.
 - Disconnections now always attempt to close the port, and you'll always get a `close` event after a `disconnect` event
 - All callbacks are called in the context of the port, `this` now equals the port.
 - Removed `openImmediately` from the constructor's api, the functionality is now named `autoOpen` on the options object.
 - Removed extraneous flow control settings from the `flowControl` option, use the specific options to set these flags now.
 - Removed undocumented callbacks from the options object `disconnectedCallback` and `dataCallback`
 - Renamed `serialportlist` to `serialport-list`
 - Renamed `serialportterm` to `serialport-term`
 - Added a contributors guide
 - Added our first Arduino required integration tests
 - [unix] `.drain` and `.set` now properly report errors
 - [unix] Ports are now locked by default with the new `lock` options matches windows default behavior
 - [windows] `.update()` now supports windows for changing baud rates
 - [windows] Fixed a bug where we weren't properly opening ports (provides better support virtual com ports too) thanks to @RogerHardiman
 - [windows] known issue `lock: false` doesn't work (no change in behavior)

Version 3.1.2
-------------
 - Documentation around "Illegal Instruction" errors
 - Resolve some ambiguities around publishing that was causing some issues on some versions and platforms of npm and node
 - [linux] bug fix in `.list()` where we weren't filtering out non block devices that are named like serial ports
 - [unix] Better unix error messages
 - [unix] Refactor `setBaudrate` for Unix making it easier for custom baudRate support
 - [unix] Update now has less memory leaks, documentation and better error messages
 - [windows] Better error messages for opening ports

Version 3.1.1
-------------
 - fix an issue with bundled deps for node-pre-gyp on npm

Version 3.1.0
-------------

Version 3.0.1
-------------
 - Change from BlueBird to es6-promise to save 9.5MB from the package size (19M -> 9.5) and 130k bundle size (186.1kb -> 55.2kb)
 - Experimental node 6 support

Version 3.0.0
-------------
- `close` and `disconnect` events no longer call `removeAllListeners` and removes your event listeners. This was particularly bad for the `error` event. This is the only change and if you didn't have a special code to deal with this behavior you should probably upgrade from v2.1.2

Version 2.1.2
-------------
- Start bundling node-pre-gyp but upgrade it to the latest as the previous version doesn't install

Version 2.1.1
-------------
- `.list` errors are consistent across platforms and no longer has blocking `statSync` calls
- Stop bundling node-pre-gyp to prevent issues when it's already installed
- Internal restructuring

Version 2.1.0
-------------
- Major refactor, bug fixes and docs improvements thanks to @ecksun, @fivdi, @gfcittolin, @jacobrosenthal, @mhart, @nebrius, @pabigot, @paulkaplan, @reconbot, @rodovich, @rwaldron, @sayanee, @tigoe and everyone who reported and helped debug issues!
- Fix binary paths to confirm with modern standards
- Integration tests on CI's that support it or for the folks at home with an arduino handy
- Upgrade to nan-2.2.1 for memory leak fixes and node 6 compatibility (still not supported)
- Confirm nw.js and electron compatibility
- Make the outpout of `.list` consistent between platforms and docs
- Define ambiguous flow control flags and document them
- Fix support systems who provide 0 as a valid file descriptor
- Fix race conditions when opening and closing ports that led to errors while reading and writing while closing or opening the port.
- [unix] Fix a double open bug on unix that would cause opening and closing ports repetitively to error.
- [unix] Listing serialports on linux now include more ports (including bluetooth devices eg. `/dev/rfcommXX`) and have less bugs in the output
- [windows] Remove deprecated BuildCommDCB for windows 10 support
- [windows] Fix a memory leak on windows
- [windows] Fix a 100% cpu and possible hang bug when ports were disconnected on windows.

Version 2.0.3
-------------
- Move node-pre-gyp binaries away from Amazon S3 to Github Releases page
- Fix for missing node-pre-gyp binaries, especially for windows users, since the 2.0.0 refactor which forced windows users to build from source -- generally failing due to lack of dependencies
- Unix port listing moved away from udev which was not available on all platforms, to whitelisting ttyS ttyACM ttyUSB ttyAMA devices, see #610

Version 2.0.2
-------------
- Cleanup minor Unix gcc warnings, Thanks @rwaldron

Version 2.0.1

For those affected users looking to utilize serialport 2.x.x and Node 4 see https://github.com/fivdi/onoff/wiki/Node.js-v4-and-native-addons
