Description Daniel M. Weeks 2017-11-13 21:26:51 UTC 
From the announcement email:

"After 6 years of waiting, a new version of i2c-tools is finally out. It
marks a significant milestone of the project, because we finally got
rid of the huge ugly i2c-dev.h header file full of inline functions
that was interfacing with the kernel, and replaced it with a small
library. This means no more code duplication, no more compiler
warnings, and no more confusion and collision with kernel header files.
Hopefully."

Notable is support for python 3 and this version bump should resolve the long standing bug # 488654.

See also bug # 637416 for new homepage.

Reproducible: Always
