OpenSC 0.9.6 - new version available

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

OpenSC Release 0.9.6 
==================== 
 
We are pleased to announce the availability of OpenSC 0.9.6. 
 
This new releases fixes many small issues found in the last six months. 
The bigger changes are: 
 - you need to have an opensc.conf config file. On Unix this is  
   $(sysconfdir)/opensc.conf depending on your --configure option. 
   Users can have their own config file by setting the OPENSC_CONF 
   evironment variable. On windows either the registry key 
   HKLM\Software\OpenSC\ConfigFile or HKLU\Software\OpenSC\ConfigFile 
   needs to be set and point to your config file. 
 - your config file needs to have a "profile_dir" setting pointing 
   to the installation directory with the "*.profile" files. 
   Under Unix/Linux the configure script will create an etc/opensc.conf 
   file for your with the right directory in it, simply copy it to 
   your $(sysconfdir). 
 - There is a new project "smart card bundle" to create a simple windows 
   installer package containing OpenSSL, OpenSC and Putty with smart card 
   patches, so you can simply download, install, and start using smart cards.
