+ * Drop the es51922 DMM parser (replaced by the generic es519xx parser).
+ * libsigrok session files:
+ - The libsigrok session file format (for *.sr files) has changed, and the
+ file format 'version' field is bumped to 2. Older libsigrok versions will
+ not be able to handle version 2 files, but new libsigrok versions can
+ handle both version 1 and version 2 files. New libsigrok versions will
+ always write/output version 2 files.
+ - Fix an issue resulting in left-over temporary files (bug #276).
+ - Fix an issue with analog probes (unsupported) in *.sr files (bug #277).

+ * Improved API documentation.
+ * Major API changes (overview):
+ - Change various function/macro names related to the probe->channel rename.
+ - Change various functions due to the new channel group feature.
+ - All enums in the public API now have names (e.g. 'enum sr_mqflag').
+ - The lib no longer defineѕ names with _t suffix (POSIX reserved).
+ - New API calls:
+ - sr_session_dev_list()
+ - sr_session_save_init()
+ - sr_session_append()
+ - sr_config_commit()
+ - sr_output_new()
+ - sr_output_send()
+ - sr_output_free()
+ - Obsoleted and removed API calls:
+ - sr_filter_channels()
+ - 'struct sr_session' is now opaque (contents shouldn't be used directly).
+ - Please see the Doxygen API documentation for further details.
+ * Build system:
+ - Switch to a non-recursive automake setup (fewer files, faster builds).
+ - configure: Clearly mark required and optional libs.
