Added support for ethernet versions of RFXCOM devices, without the need for a COM port redirector.

Security messages (X10, Visonic etc) no longer blocked if reported value is unchanged.

Added support for the RFXMitter, a new transmitter from RFXCOM that is much faster and can transmit more formats.

Previous transmitters translated X10 commands internally and attempted to send them in all enabled protocols. Now the protocol is set in the xPL message, with the translation handled by xPLRFX. Each message is now only transmitted in the specified protocol, with no delays due to sending in other formats.

Moving the burden of translation from the transmitter to xPLRFX has also freed up space in the transmitter to allow more protocols to be supported.

Fixed a bug that was blocking Oregon THN132N messages

It's been some time coming, but today saw "first light" with the new xPL Z-Wave driver and Mi Casa Verde USB Z-Wave controller successfully switching lamps on and off. The next steps are to integrate the new driver into xPLZWave in place of the old ControlThink SDK, and then hook up the remaining Z-Wave functionality.

Fixed a bug that was blocking Oregon GR101 scale messages.

Two major projects are planned for this year:

• xPLMPC - an xPL wrapper for the excellent Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC), enabling movies to be launched and played entirely under xPL control.
• The xPLZWave revision. A completely freeware solution for Z-Wave and xPL. The Z-Wave driver for this project is currently coded and working with the old ACT Z-Wave interface, but is waiting for technical information from Mi Casa Verde to enable support for their Z-Stick too.
