This file lists notable changes in each release. For the full history of all
changes, see ChangeLog.
2018-07-15: v0.8.2 release
* Drivers:
- Add USB ID for TNP Nano USB Fingerprint Reader
- Fix UPEKTS enrollment never finishing on some devices
* Library:
- Fix fp_get_pollfds() retval type, a small ABI change
- Downgrade fatal errors to run-time warnings, as a number of drivers
used to throw silent errors and we made them fatal. Those will now
be visible warnings, hopefully helping with fixing them.
2018-06-12: v0.8.1 release
- Brown paperbag release to install the udev rules file in the correct
directory if the udev pkg-config file doesn't have a trailing slash

* Library:
- Fix a number of memory and file descriptor leaks and warnings
- Make NSS (and URU4000) driver optional
- Fix assembling of frames for non-reverse and non reverse stripes
- Split internal private header to clarify drivers API
- Simplify logging system, now all the builds can be used to output
debug information
- Mark fp_dscv_print functions as deprecated
