 The operations that are supported are:
 
 - Port enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system).
+- Obtaining port metadata (USB device information, Bluetooth address, etc).
 - Opening and closing ports.
 - Setting port parameters (baud rate, parity, etc).
 - Reading, writing and flushing data.

 If you know how to enumerate available ports on another OS, please submit a bug
 with this information, or better still a patch implementing it.
 
-Future
-======
-
-Future versions will add additional API calls for obtaining metadata about a
-port, e.g. for USB devices the USB VID and PID of the underlying device.

 Dependencies
 ============
 
-On Linux, libudev is required. On other systems no other libraries are required.
-
-The libudev dependency could be eliminated in favour of direct sysfs queries at
-the cost of some brevity. This is not currently a priority but if you feel like
-doing this feel free to submit a patch.
+No other libraries are required.
