    Here is a bit of an update. The current pcsc-lite (1.0 BETA) which will
    be released soon includes the following:

    - Fully tested with multiple readers, cards, all functions, threads,
       NULL pointers, overrun buffers, RATS, over 250 tests in all.

    - Unix domain socket implementation for IPC

    - One common channel and then each application has their own channel
       to the resource manager. The channel is linked with handles so
       another channel cannot perform actions on another application just by
       knowing the handle. The common channel is only for client
       initialization only.

       1 Client sends SYN packet to common channel
       2 Server connects to client at their own port
       3 Server sends ACK packet to client on exclusive channel.

    - Events such as client seg faults are caught at the server and no longer
       handled at the client. Clients register no signals.

    - Each function has been tested significantly.

    - All events are properly working: SCARD_W_REMOVED_CARD,
       SCARD_W_RESET_CARD

    This will be a stable version.

    Regards,
    Dave
