Re: [Opensc-announce] OpenSC 0.24.0 release candidate 1

[Jakub J. <jj...@re...>]

Hi all.
the rc2 was just published with dozens of bugfixes since last rc1
(slightly more than we hoped for):

https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/releases/tag/0.24.0-rc2

If you have a minute, please give it a test run and let us know if you
find an issue.

We expect to get the final release out later this month.

Thanks for patience,
Jakub
