Hello,

I just released libcacard 2.7.0. It is based on recent work to improve
compatibility with Windows guests (particularly ActivClient drivers)
for smart card sharing using several methods:

 * Implementation of Microsoft PnP applet used for card detection in
Windows
 * Implementation of API to generate unique serial number from
certificates, which is used in the low-level detection structures
 * More verbose debug logs mostly around applet selection
 * Fix of VERIFY APDU semantics to allow check for login status
 * Improved CI with clang targets
 * Use officially documented ATR as it is used as part of the
detection process in Windows.

This release can be found at the following locations:

It is signed with my GPG key:
