-FT232BM and FT245BM type chips including the popular bitbang mode.
+libftdi - A library (using libusb) to talk to FTDI's UART/FIFO chips
+including the popular bitbang mode.
+
+The following chips are supported:
+* FT230X
+- FT4232H / FT2232H
+- FT232R  / FT245R
+- FT2232L / FT2232D / FT2232C
+- FT232BM / FT245BM (and the BL/BQ variants)
+- FT8U232AM / FT8U245AM
+
+libftdi requires libusb 1.x.
 
 The AUTHORS file contains a list of all the people
 that made libftdi possible what it is today.
 
-Many thanks to Marek Vavruša for providing
-the initial C++ wrapper implementation.

 Changes
 -------
-* Full C++ wrapper. Needs boost (Marek Vavruša and Intra2net)
-
+* 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
+* ftdi_eeprom / eeprom handling:
+  * New API function: ftdi_eeprom_get_strings()
+  * Fix USE_SERIAL handling for 230X type chips
+  * Make ftdi_read_eeprom_location() endianness independent
+  * Fix flashing of FT245R
