Pre-release of 3.3.3

[Brian Thorne]

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to tag python-can v3.3.3, now would be a great time to try the latest pre-release and open any issues. I'd like to hear from people using Raspberry Pi, Windows, and Python 2 to ensure everything is working before releasing.

Get the preview with:

pip install python-can==3.3.3a2

This is the last planned release for Python 2 and includes many backports of changes and fixes from the Python 3 only 4.x development branch.

The changelog may change slightly once I've tagged the final release but currently includes:

* #798 Backport caching msg.data value in neovi interface

* #796 Fix Vector CANlib treatment of empty app name

* #771 Handle empty CSV file

* #740 Exclude test packages from distribution.

* #713 RTR crash fix in canutils log reader parsing RTR frames.

* #701 Skip J1939 messages in ASC Reader.

* #690 Exposes a configuration option to allow the CAN message player to send error frames

(and sets the default to not send error frames).

* #638 Fixes the semantics provided by periodic tasks in SocketCAN interface.

* #628 Avoid padding CAN_FD_MESSAGE_64 objects to 4 bytes.

* #617 Fixes the broken CANalyst-II interface.

* #605 Socketcan BCM status fix.

cheers,

Brian
