### End changelog

This means, that the devices:
* REINER SCT cyberJack RFID standard EN
* REINER SCT cyberJack wave HUN
and
* REINER SCT cyberJack RFID komfort FON
are not supported in the current version of Debian.

The device REINER SCT cyberJack RFID komfort FON device is for users with
disabilities.
As of now, all three devices are not supported by Debian 12 because this
package is out of date.

You should also read bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1010675
It might be related to this bug #1010675, because the new upstream version
ships as .bz2 file and in the other
bug report has someone mentioned, that the old uscan filter does only search
for .tar.gz files.
But this is definitely not a minor bug, like the this other bug report claims,
when you can't use these new three devices.

The devices
* REINER SCT cyberJack wave HUN
and
* REINER SCT cyberJack RFID komfort FON
got a patch in upstream on Fri, 01 Oct 2021. Debian stable was released in June
10, 2023.

So it's high time that the new version is added to Debian SID and a Debian
backport version for Debian 12 or an update with the next Debian 12 point
release is added. After all, this is about driver support and support for new
hardware.
