Changes since libnserial-1.1.1

libnserial

Use the prepared debian packages for Ubuntu, or compile and install it yourself for other linux distributions.

You should use libnserial version 1.1.2. Only using the newer version will bring all available fixes. Older versions may work but may also only bring limited functionality.
