-------
-* New ftdi_usb_open_bus_port() open function
-* Use BM/R series baud rate computation for FT230X
-* ftdi_get_error_string() now returns const char*
-* small build fixes and improvements in the python examples
+* Implement tc[io]flush methods & deprecate broken purge_buffers methods
+
+ Please check your code for ftdi_usb_purge_rx_buffer(),
