Finally, we have made another milestone, EazyLink2 V1.0 Beta 3. It has been a long process, especially because the serial port driver on the Z88 (OZ V4.5) has been re-written.This is our third public release after a couple of months of programming & testing. We have upgraded the runtime libraries to use Qt V5.2 and the new officially supported Qt serial port library, which has given 100% transmission stability across out supported platforms for Windows XP+, Mac OS X for Intel CPUs & Linux for Intel CPUs. To fully utilize all features, we recommend to also install the standalone EazyLink popdown V5.2 or OZ V4.5 on your Cambridge Z88, which this desktop client uses to communicate optimally with the Z88.

This release supports 38400 BPS, when used in partner with OZ V4.5 / EazyLink. This is the first time in the history of the Z88 that is it has become possible to utilize this maximum capable speed of the Z88.

We have finally created the Linux installer and executable for 32bit Linux, with great help from of http://magicermine.com/. EazyLink2 now uses Qt 5.2.1 which required new features of the Ermine package tool (bundle all runtime libraries into a single Linux-cross-distribution executable). Thank you, MagicErmine team!

The 32bit Linux Installer has been updated with a better Ermine-based eazylink2 32bit and 64bit portable executable, which means we finally have a 64bit installer for Linux ready.

Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit), Ubuntu 13.10 (64bit) and Linux Mint 17 (64bit, an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS based desktop) have been tested with running the installer and running eazylink2 on 64bit Linux desktops. Again, MagicErmine team was there to assist in making it happen, thank you!

We have tested EazyLink2 on Debian 6 (2010, 32bit), PCLinuxOS (latest 32bit), Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) and Ubuntu 14.04 (32bit).
