RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox version 4.04 (stable)

    * New features:
          o Support for new sensors:
                + LEGO NXT 2.0 Color (see OpenNXT2Color, GetNXT2Color)
                + HiTechnic Color V2 (see OpenColor, GetColor)
                + HiTechnic EOPD (see OpenEOPD, CalibrateEOPD, GetEOPD)
    * Bugfixes:
          o Fixed a bug (timeout too small) in GetSound that caused data to be 0 for 200ms after opening the sensor
          o Fixed a bug that limited the maximum TachoLimit for NXTMotor to 99999 instead of 999999
    * Improvements / changes:
          o Recommended LEGO firmware is now version 1.28 or better
          o Updated MotorControl to current version 2.2 (recompiled with new compiler for better stability)
          o Added warnings for analog sensor Get-functions in case data do not become valid
          o Increased time out periods in analog sensor Get-functions
          o Toolbox optimization is not necessary anymore since MATLAB Release 2010a (version 7.10 and newer), added version check to OptimizeToolboxPerformance
          o Added some clarifactions to documentation about Bluetooth for serial port devices on Mac OS
          o Minor documentation updates (fixed typos and some broken links)
    * Known bugs and limitations:
          o USB connections on Windows 64bit systems can be problematic, this depends on MATLAB and the Fantom driver. As workaround a 32bit version of MATLAB is recommended.
          o Trying to open USB handles on Linux with no NXT connected but old handles still open can rarely lead to MATLAB crashing. Using COM_CloseNXT prevents this.
          o Mixing methods from the NXTMotor class and the function DirectMotorCommand can lead to warnings or other problems.
          o System functions, especially I/O Map Module functions, do not work with USB-connections in Windows (they do work with Bluetooth on Windows, and with both USB and BT on Linux).
