HoRNDIS 9.0

Version 9.0 of HoRNDIS has the following changes:

• HoRNDIS's USB implementation has been rewritten to use the new APIs for OS X El Capitan and above, which should improve compatibility with newer versions of OS X.
• HoRNDIS uses a better buffer allocation strategy, which should improve performance on devices like Pixel 2.
• HoRNDIS's internal versioning has been updated to behave more like "normal" Apple system components (i.e., "9.0", rather than "rel9", and development builds in the interim were "9.0d1", etc.).
• Support for older versions of OS X has been removed. The latest version of HoRNDIS that supports OS X 10.10 and older is Rel8.

The changes in this release were developed by Mikhail Iakhiaev (@mikhailai); Mikhail has also graciously volunteered to serve as maintainer for HoRNDIS going forward. Thanks, Mikhail!

HoRNDIS rel8

Rel8 of HoRNDIS has the following improvements:

• Adds support to work around the broken USB stack in OS X 10.11 and OS X 10.12 (issue #42). Some devices continue to experience connectivity issues with OS X 10.11. Users are encouraged to file additional issues for individual devices that do not work, if the issue can be localized to a specific type of device (i.e., if the driver is known to be working for other devices on the same system).

Thanks to David Ryskalczyk (@d235j) for his help in developing a workaround for Xcode functionality regressions in building for older versions of OS X.

Please note that the GPG key used to sign this version of HoRNDIS has been rotated. The new key is signed by the old key.

HoRNDIS rel7

Rel7 of HoRNDIS has the following improvements:

• Adds support for OS X 10.10 (issue #26). This fix involves a workaround for an issue with an unknown root cause; it has been found to solve the issue on the author's computer, but could benefit from additional testing. Please file bugs if you find issues.
• Fixes regression in which unsigned kext was no longer installed (issue #27).
• Binary release is now compiled with a production version of Xcode.

Thanks to David Ryskalczyk (@d235j) for his help in tracking down the issues with OS X 10.10.
