We are glad to announce today a new release of Open NFC: 4.3.1 r0 (build 11634).

This new release includes the following Editions:

• Core Edition
• SDK Edition (previously called PC Edition)
• Linux Edition
• NFC HAL for MicroRead Edition
• Android Edition
• and Android Add-on Edition.

For a complete description of what is included in each Edition, please refer to the website (http://www.open-nfc.org) and the contents of the Release Notes included in each package.

The following are the main changes:

• The Core, SDK and Linux Edition now include the Java wrapper and the API to use Open NFC in this environment.
• The stack is now fully compliant with the SIM Alliance API release 1.2. The Security Stack feature has evolved accordingly.
• The stack is now fully 64-bit compliant in all editions.
• The NFC HAL for MicroRead includes new Loader (7-OR-0A) and Firmware (7.14A) versions.
• The Linux Edition now includes an example i2c native driver for the MicroRead.
• The pre-built binaries for Win32 now include the traces activated by default.
• Android Edition now builds against Android 2.3.5. Older releases are no longer supported.

A number of cleanups have been performed in the contents of the different Editions; new components have been added while other components have been removed; we encourage you to browse inside the different archives even if you are already familiar with the previous releases to get an overview of all the changes. As usual, the Release Notes of each archive should be a good starting point.

We hope you will enjoy this new release. Please report your question / problems to the project new mailing-list: Open-NFC-Help@lists.sourceforge.net

You may have noticed also that the website (http://open-nfc.org) has been updated a few days ago. Please send your comments to the project mailing-list, if you have any, to help us improve this site.

Thanks!
The Open NFC team.

We are proud to release the version 4.3 of the Open NFC Core stack today.

The main features of this new release are:

• New Security Stack to protect access to the Secure Element(s)
• Improved P2P mode.
• Updated Bluetooth pairing support.
• Improved Felica support, including multiple cards support.
• New formats support: Infineon my-d cards, B Prime cards, Kovio.
• … and a long list of bug fixed.

You can find the complete list of changes in the Release Notes document included in the archive.

Warning: Because of the new features listed above,  the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) interface had to be changed. The new Open NFC cannot be used with older lower-layer implementations. It means in particular that:

1. If you are using a MicroRead NFC controler, Open NFC 4.3 requires a firmware version of at least 7.13, and loader at least 7.09. The stack cannot be used with an older firmware (it will give a NO FIRMWARE error state when attempted). Note that the reverse is also not possible (newer firmware with older stack).
2. If you are using the NFC Simulator tool provided in the Core Edition, you must use the simulator provided with your version of Open NFC, since the interface version also has changed in the simulator.
   

The files can be downloaded from Sourceforge server. Click here for more information.

Support questions should be directed to the new project’s mailing-list: open-nfc-help@lists.sourceforge.net

Thanks!
