+
+ * Released as 3.8.0.
+
+ * Filters can now match devices based on partially specified
+ class code and also on the programming interface.
+
+ * Reporting of link speeds, power limits, and virtual function tags
+ has been updated to the current PCIe specification.
+
+ * We decode the Data Object Exchange capability.
+
+ * Bus mapping mode works in non-zero domains.
+
+ * pci_fill_info() can fetch more fields: bridge bases, programming
+ interface, revision, subsystem vendor and device ID, OS driver,
+ and also parent bridge. Internally, the implementation was rewritten,
+ significantly reducing the number of corner cases to be handled.
+
+ * The Windows port was revived and greatly improved by Pali Rohár.
+ It requires less magic to compile. More importantly, it runs on both
+ old and recent Windows systems (see README.Windows for details).
+
+ * Added a new Windows back-end using the cfgmgr32 interface.
+ It does not provide direct access to the configuration space,
+ but basic information about the device is reported via pci_fill_info().
+ For back-ends of this type, we now provide an emulated read-only
+ config space.
+
+ * If the configuration space is not readable for some reason
+ (e.g., the cfgmgr32 back-end, but also badly implemented sleep mode
+ of some devices), lspci prints only information provided by the OS.
+
+ * The Hurd back-end was greatly improved thanks to Joan Lledó.
+
+ * Various minor bug fixes and improvements.
+
+ * We officially require a working C99 compiler. Sorry, MSVC.
+
+ * As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database.
+

directly. This leads to several problems: some devices are invisible, extended
PCIe configuration space is not available, and there are many potential race
conditions. Instead, libpci should use the proper Windows drivers.
