v3.0.0

Version 3.0.0 Release Notes

New Features:

• Added support for building and running the project on Linux and Windows platforms
• Introduced new build scripts (ras_build_linux.sh, ras_build.bat) and test scripts (ras_test_linux.sh, ras_test.bat) for cross-platform compatibility
• Implemented a manage script to streamline project tasks such as building, testing, and running simulations
• Enhanced the simulation script (ras_simulation.py) to include verbose output and display the average BER for each simulation scenario
• Added a new section in the README file to provide a mathematical analysis of the simulation results

Enhancements:

• Updated the project dependencies and created a requirements.txt file for easy installation
• Improved the project directory structure by adding a new images/ directory in the docs/ folder
• Refined the simulation models (ras_model.py, ofdm_model.py, mimo_model.py) to support different channel types and modulation schemes
• Optimized the C code implementation in ras.c for better performance and error handling

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with the Python simulation results not being captured correctly in the C code
• Addressed compilation errors and warnings in the ras.c and ras_python_interface.h files
• Resolved test failures related to the Python simulation integration

Other Changes:

• Updated the README file with detailed instructions for building and running the project on different platforms
• Added a "Contributing" section to the README file to provide guidelines for project contributions
• Improved code documentation and comments for better readability and maintainability

v2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 Release Notes

New Features:

• Added simulation models for MIMO, OFDM, and RAS channels
• Implemented various modulation schemes (QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) in the simulations
• Introduced a simulation script (ras_simulation.py) to evaluate the modem performance under different channel conditions and modulation schemes
• Calculated and plotted the average Bit Error Rate (BER) for each simulation scenario

Enhancements:

• Restructured the project directory to better organize the simulation code
• Added a new simulations/ directory to hold the simulation models and scripts
• Updated the documentation with a Simulation Results Report (docs/simulation_results_report.md) to analyze the simulation outcomes

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug in the UART driver implementation (code/driver/uart.c)
• Addressed an issue with test case failure in the RAS layer test suite (code/test/ras_test.c)

Other Changes:

• Updated the README file with information about the new simulation features and directory structure
• Added package initialization file (__init__.py) for the simulations package
