WDM CAN Driver for Windows 7**/8**/10/11

(c) 1997 - 2024 by esd electronics gmbh

Release notes for the WDM based CAN driver supporting Windows 7/8/10/11 (32-/64-Bit) and
Windows Server 2008/2012 (32-/64-Bit). The driver releases are organized as packages. A package
contains the driver itself, driver related libraries and files for the driver configuration. The package
release version is coupled with the version of the device driver. A detailed list which hardware is
supported by a WDM driver and a table which files get installed with a driver package can be found at
the end of this document.

** Microsoft ended the support to allow in-house cross-signing of device driver code. For
this reason it is no longer possible for esd to release new or updated device drivers for
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 based systems starting with driver package V2.8.0
!

Revision History
Summarized below are the the improvements, changes and fixes between different package releases in
reverse chronological order. If a change affects a complete driver family the family name according to
the table above is used to refer to the hardware. Changes which are considered to be very important
are highlighted.

Package content
The tables below are an overview which version of the binaries is distributed in a released driver
package. As driver packages for the different CAN driver families are not released at the same time it is
possible that a package with a newer release date contains a newer version of a library. In that case the
version is written in the table below as x.y.[a|b] to indicate that one package was released with version
x.y.a and another package with x.y.b of the library. A package might also be re-released with the
unchanged device driver and just updated libraries.

Known Issues
All 3.x driver and the CAN-USB/Mini driver do not support any system sleep mode. Since Windows
Vista a driver can no longer prevent the change to a low power mode by itself so the system
administrator has to make sure that the system is configured in a way which prevent such a power
state. For the same reason it is necessary to disable the Hybrid Shutdown which was introduced with
Windows 8.
