[hpsdr] Openhpsdr-u - Protocol 1 - Wireshark plug-in version 0.4.0 released.

[Matthew J Wolf]

With Wireshark releasing a new major version, 3.x, it was time to update
my OpenHPSDR protocol 1 plug-in. Then after receiving a Hermes-Lite2 and
the protocol being updated it a second update to the plug-in  was needed.

You can get the newest version 0.4.0 from my github account at:
https://github.com/matthew-wolf-n4mtt/openhpsdr-u/releases

Here is a list of what is new since the public notice:

Version 0.4.0
  - Protocol version 1.60 changes.
   -- Added "C0 Type" for "2ND Alex, Firmware Envelope Gain"
  - Renamed preference for Hermes-Lite to a preference for Hermes-Lite1
  - Added a preference to display the Hermes-Lite2 additions and changes
to the
    protocol.
  - Added support for undefined "C0 Types".
  - Length of "C0 Types" corrected. The way the "C0 Types" are listed in the
    protocol document was the source of my confusion.
    -- End point 2 changed from 8 bit numbers to 7 bit numbers.
    -- End point 4 changed from 8 bit numbers to 5 bit numbers.
  - Included decimal number in the display of "C0 Types".
  - Added a preference to display the Hermes-Lite2 additions and changes
to the
    protocol.
  - Opinion: Hermes-Lite2 addition of RQST and ACK creates a new
protocol that
             is not compatible with the "standard" protocol. The length of
             critical fields are changed. It is bad practice of have a
             field have multiple lengths. End point 2 "C0 type" is changed
             to 6 bits. End point 6 "C0 type" is changed to 4 bits. When ACK
             is high end point 6 "C0 type" is 6 bits because the "Dot" and
             "Dash" bits are removed and reassigned to "C0 Type". The
             Hermes-Lite2 protocol specification refers to the "C0 Type"
as the
             word memory map and or addresses. The standard protocol
             specification refers to the "C0 Type" as bits in
             "the first C&C byte(C0)".

Version: 0.3.1
  - Due to issue with the Microsoft Windows build. The "-"
    in the source file system names has been replaced with "_".``

Version: 0.3.0
  - Wireshark version 3.0.1
  - Candidate for first release.
  - Changed source name from "hpsdr_u" to "openhpsdr-u". New name is the
same
     format as the OpenHPSDR Ethernet plug-in , openhpsdr-e.
  - Changed Heuristic dissector short_name from "hpsdr_u_udp" to
"openhpsdr-u".
  - Added references for Protocol 1 to text strings.
    -- New Heuristic dissector display_name: "OpenHPSDR USB - P1 - USB
in UDP"
    -- New Name: "OpenHPSDR USB Over IP - Protocol 1"
    -- New Short Name: "HPSDR-USB_P1"
    -- No change to Abbreviation: "hpsdr-u"
  - Added a preference to display the Hermes-Lite changes to Command and
    Control.
