Serial Even Parity setting

mmlink.format( 8, Serial::Even, 1);

This fragment of code compiled with Rev 43 of the mbed library, with Rev 45 I get the error:-

Class "mbed::Serial" has no member "Even"

This seems to be the case for all the Parity setting.

Am I missing something at Rev 45?

Soo, this is still not fixed as I tried everything to set the mode to Parity Even. Nothing worked. Can someone post the code for setting up format(8bit, parityeven, 1 stopbit)? thanks

I' m hitting the same block here 

serial.format( 7, Even, 2);

Wether I use -Even, -even, -ParityEven, -E

I can' t get code to compile without the mentioned error

You dont have to add anything, rename "Even" to "ParityEven". Just a name change. Btw @ mbed people, you need to update documentation of serial class, format function doesnt give those new names.

As part of the complete refactoring of the mbed library we moved the parameter type definitions from the C++ API to the C API. The missing parity enum has been moved from Serial.h to serial_api.h: serial_api.h

You've lost me again, how do I use this serial_api.h, simply adding to my .cpp file still does not get rid of the compiler error.
