Hi all,

v0.17
=====
After quiet period, the neard user-space counterpart of Linux kernel NFC
stack, gets a new release - v0.17.

The release includes several fixes (including potential security fixes)
and improvements, plus few new features.

Source code release:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git/tag/?h=v0.17
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git/snapshot/neard-0.17.tar.gz

Few notes on new names and maintainers
======================================
The neard package was previously maintained Samuel Ortiz and Marcel
Holtmann, which were also main contributors. Last years Mark Greer was
looking after neard. I joined in 2021, both as a maintainer of Linux
kernel NFC stack and the neard.

The project development still happens via linux-nfc mailing list but
also got a second home on GitHub:
https://github.com/linux-nfc/neard

Under GitHub I set up also Continuous Integration:
https://github.com/linux-nfc/neard/actions

Feel free join and hack via both channels.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
