   *   - Updated the AVRISP-MKII Clone programmer project to be compatible with the latest version of AVR Studio (version 5.1)
   *   - Changed the AVRISP-MKII Clone programmer project to report a fixed 3.3V VTARGET voltage on USB AVRs lacking an ADC instead of 5V to prevent
   *     warnings in AVR Studio 5.1 when programming XMEGA devices
+  *   - Allow serial strings to be generated on the older AVR8 devices which do not explicitly state they contain unique values in the datasheet,
+  *     as this appears to be implemented in hardware
   *
   *  <b>Fixed:</b>
