This release was pushed ahead by the number of new features and new card 
drivers eager for their place in the project,
as well as by the necessity to restore the regular release process.

You are heartily invited to comment/test/use this release.



Also at this time we are migrating the OpenSC project to the new hosting.
Currently:
- the sources of OpenSC sources and its sub-projects are migrated to github 
(thanks to Ludovic);
- mailing-list on sourceforge is ready to substitute the mailing-list on 
opensc-project.org (once more thanks to Ludovic);
- Peter Stuge have to migrate the OpenSC trac & wiki onto one of his platform ;
- sourceforge will replace the file server hosted by opensc-project.org 
(currently the CI service sends the release and 'nightly' packages to both 
sourceforge and opensc-project);
- CI service is currently running for OpenSC/OpenSC github project, but can be 
extended and include the other OpenSC sub-projects.


Currently the github OpenSC/OpenSC contains two branches 'master' and 
'staging', rigorously synchronized between each other.
I guess that we can eliminate the 'staging' branch and use only the 'master' 
one.


The OpenSC wiki pages are largely outdated;
but I think it's reasonable to wait Peter to finish migration of existing trac 
before starting to update it.


Kind regards,
Viktor.
