Dear users of the IgH EtherCAT master,

some of you are already using the RTDM interface in the default
branch. I did a complete revision of the code and transparently
integrated it to the stable-1.5 branch. To use it, just configure with
- --enable-rtdm and link to the ethercat_rtdm library. I'd like to thank
Mr. Benner and Mr. Foot for their basic work. Moreover I'd like to
mention George Broz from Moog Inc., California, who made the revision
and integration possible.

Some of you might have noticed, that I also merged the redundancy
branch into stable-1.5, so that the operation with 2 Ethernet devices
per master is also possible now. There are a few API extensions
regarding this, for more information, see the section "Changed since
1.5" in the header file include/ecrt.h.

For questions and other feedback, please post to the etherlab-users
mailing list.

Kind regards and happy coding,
Florian Pose
