Release Notes for the 6.01 SMA Decoders\par
1. New decoders added featuring Stepper Motor support, Dual motor and audio play, and dual motor and triggered audio play\par
\par
2. Long addressing for mobile and accessory decoders added with CV 29 specification\par
\par
3. Several minor bug fixes and testing for the new NmraDcc library version supporting more platforms including the Teensy\par
\par
4. Overall timing control for the dual motor control was improved. Timing for the audio decoders may be marginally compatible with servo timing for many functions simultaneously in use. \par
\par
5. Overall timing for slow servo transitions has been re-treaked to match the new library version performance.\par
\par

Release Notes for the 5.1 SMA Decoder Examples\par
\par
1. Automatic servo attachment and detachment has been implemented for all\par
   servo control functions. When a servo has stopped at the end of its traverse, \par
   it will be "detached" by the software. This has been demonstrated \par
   to reduce power consumption greatly and reduce servo "chatter."\par
\par
2. Several bug fixes including all reported bugs as of May 2016\par
\par
3. In the fully conficurable verions. all 17 pins now can be configured for any of 6 functions\par
   Config 0=On/Off,1=Blink,2=Servo,3=DBL LED Blink,4=variable Pulse ,5=fade on\par
\par
4. Servo timing has a timing modifier added for extra slow servo traverse\par
   #define servo_slowdown  3   //servo loop counter limit\par
   Can be set from 0 to 255  -- the higher the number the slower the traverse\par
\par
5. Software has been restructured to support new NmraDcc library releases \par
   including the NmraDcc-MicroBahner library version.\par
\par
