    19  * '''Requires use of new WARPXilnet library 3.02.a'''
    20   * As always, upgrade your edk_user_repository via svn before trying to re-compile the ref design hardware or software.
     19 * '''Requires use of WARPXilnet library 3.02.a'''
    2120
    22  * Added support for broadcast write-only commands via a wl_node subclass called [source:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_node_group.m wl_node_group].
    23  * Updated Ethernet processing - reduced both transmit and receive processing times
    24    * Updated Ethernet A interface from AXI FIFO to AXI DMA
    25  * Updated [wiki:WARPLab/FPGAArchitecture/WARPLAB_7_2_0 FPGA HW design]
    26    * Added axi_v6_ddrx core to WARP v3 ref design for access to DDR3 SO-DIMM (limited to 1GB address space)
     21 * '''Improved Read IQ / Write IQ performance by over 10x''' with a new Transport layer: [source:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_transport_eth_udp_mex.m wl_transport_eth_udp_mex].
     22   * This uses the MATLAB EXecutable format, or MEX.  To compile the transport for your platform, please refer to the [wiki:WARPLab/MEX MEX Compilation Guide].
     23   * To see the performance improvements, please refer to the [wiki:WARPLab/Benchmarks benchmarks]
     24 * Updated [wiki:WARPLab/FPGAArchitecture/WARPLAB_7_3_0 FPGA HW design]
     25   * Updated the WARPLab Buffers core (w3_warplab_buffers_axiw_v2_03_a) which moved the memories outside of the core for the Read / Write IQ samples
     26     * Allowed for the use of the DMA for sample transfers vs memcpy
    2727   * Updated bus architecture to improve performance
    28  * Updated Trigger Manager to reduce input delay jitter.  '''Adds 1 additional cycle of latency to all Trigger Manager debug inputs.'''
    29    * Updated [wiki:../Examples/8x2Array 8x2 Multi-node Array] example to reflect additional latency
    30  * Added additional mode to wl_ver:
    31    * Ability to pass a string as an argument to wl_ver.  Will issue a warning if the current framework is newer than the version.  Will issue an error if the current framework is older than the version.
    32    * Ability to pass a node object as an argument to wl_ver.  Will issue an error if version does not match.
     28 * Added [wiki:WARPLab/Reference/Utility#wl_benchmark wl_benchmark] utility
     29   * Allows user to do performance testing of Read IQ / Write IQ on their system
    3330 * Fixed bugs:
    34    * Added global initialization back to wl_initNodes
    35    * Updated 'output_config_delay' command in the Trigger Manager to print the actual delay configured in the hardware
    36    * Removed print statement in ifc_init()
    37    * Fixed issue in EEPROM code described in this [http://warpproject.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=8569#p8569 forum post]
     31   * Addressed WARPLab 7.2.0 issue where there were checksum mismatches in Write IQ which would revert the Transport to "slow write" and reduce performance.
     32
     33 * NOTE:
     34   * PNET will be deprecated in the WARPLab 7.4.0 release.  Please use the new wl_mex_udp_transport instead.
