Hello,

I just released a new version 2.4.0 of pcsc-lite.

The major change in this release is that the pcscd daemon process now
runs as a normal user instead of root (when systemd is used).

You must use drivers that configure the reader device access rights so
that a user in the pcscd group can access it for reading and writing.
That is the case for libccid 1.7.0.

Changes:
2.4.0: Ludovic Rousseau
19 October 2025
- Run pcscd under a pcscd user instead of root when using systemd
- Set PIDFile in systemd service file
- Protect contextMapList modifications using a mutex
- meson:

  . respect builtin meson default_library option
  . build and install spy lib & tool only when needed
- UnitaryTests/*.py: fix pylint warnings
- Improve Doxygen documentation
