1 Introduction

1.5 Host Tool Changelog
The host tool’s version can be determined with the ”hw_info” command, or simply running ”nose
--version”.
Note: you can also look at the public git repository’s commit log.

Unreleased, but publicly available. (Also picked up by Homebrew formulae.)
May be referenced as host tool v1.5 in this document.

any problems, but could
•

Bug fixes
•
Skip possibly old data when starting capture
•
Fix description of some hw_info fields
•
Fix undefined behavior in USB error handling path
New features

1.5.2 Host tool v1.4 (60a3f48, windows build 66)
Potential incompatibilities and problems
• Change auto-exit behavior (should be mostly the same for most users, but use with scripting might
be affected)
