Hello.

It was about time again to bundle all changes in dfu-util land
together and make a release out of it. The major changes in this
release is the addition of a DFU suffix manipulation tool and support
for windows binary builds.

Both features have been long standing todo items and its a pleasure to
see this finally falling into place. For details please have a look below.

0.6:
        o Add detach mode (Stefan Schmidt)
        o Check return value on all libusb calls (Tormod Volden)
        o Add DFU suffix manipulation tool (Stefan Schmidt)
        o Port to Windows: (Tormod Volden, some parts based on work from Satz
          Klauer)
          o Port file handling to stdio streams
          o Sleep() macros
          o C99 types
          o Pack structs
        o Detect DfuSe device correctly on big-endian architectures (Tormod
          Volden)
        o Add dfuse progress indication on download (Tormod Volden)
        o Cleanup: gcc pedantic, gcc extension, ... (Tormod Volden)
        o Rely on page size from functional descriptor. Please report if you get
          an error about it.  (Tormod Volden)
        o Add quirk for Maple since it reports wrong DFU version (Tormod Volden)
