Always use nfc_initiator_transceive_bytes(). If you where using advanced
features and already relying on nfc_initiator_transceive_bytes(), then your
code has to be updated to unset the NDO_EASY_FRAMING option. See an example of
such a change in the libfreefare's repository:

Updates issue 106
Status: Feedback
Romuald: I am not sure about the option enum values. I took 0x02 thinking it
would not hurt but am not really sure about that because I can see many 'holes'
in the sequence.
- Define two sets of DE<FOOBAR> macros: the first one for 'generic' errors
which could be encountered regardless of the NFC device the library is acting
with (0xX000), and ont set for device-dependant errors (0x0X00).
- Make some more functions accept a nfc_device_t* as first argument to have
access to the iLastError;
- Reset errors when entering public API functions;
- Save errors when applicable;
- Distinguish system-level errors (e.g. I/O error) and operational errors (the
PCD returns an unexpected value);
- Minor tweaks.

New review:

Summary: Review the error-handling code.
Branch: /branches/libnfc-error-handling
For this development, a strong emphasis has been set on making changes that
will not go through our way on the way to libnfc-1.6+. For this reason, some
constructs are not natural (e.g. error codes defined in two different places),
please keep this in mind when reviewing.
Avoid redundant code in PN53x usb and uart drivers. Since it makes sense to
report errors at the nfc_device_t level, pass it directly to
pn53x_transceive().
Programs using the libnfc MAY use pn53x_transceive() to communicate with a NFC
device, and SHALL not use anymore pnd->pdc->transceive(). Code in the library
itself SHOULD avoid calling pnd->pdc->transceive(), so such construct have been
updated accordingly.
Within the ongoing effort to improve the NFC devices abstraction, and now that
pn53x_transceive() does not fail when it reads a response that has no
status-code, do not call directly pnd->pdc->transceive() from nfc.c. In a
mid-term future this will be changed again, and calling pn53x_transceive() from
nfc.c will be forbiden, in favor of colling some pnd->transceive() function,
but that's another part of the story.
Of course, it changes the API one more and it's not going to be the last time
in this branch.
New issue
Summary: Provide a target listing function
Labels: Milestone-1.4.x
Libnfc lacks of target listing function. Actually, applications or libraries based on libnfc have to wrote their own listing function which can provide side effect if two or more of theses libraries are used together in the same application. Plus, some kind of problem could appears during listing multiples targets (i.e. collisions) and this problem should be solved in libnfc (i.e. using NFC chip capabilities), not in applications based on libnfc.
- New API functions: nfc_strerror(), nfc_strerror_r() and nfc_perror();
- Drivers now have a reference to chips callback methods;
- Rename -pn53x_err2string to pn53x_strerror and add it to pn53x_callbacks_list.
- New API function append_iso14443a_crc();
- Add a PRINT_HEX macro for driver debugging (replaces print_hex function from bitutils.c);
- Move bit-mirroring related functions to libnfc/mirror-subr.[hc];
- Move iso14443 related functions to libnfc/iso14443-subr.c;
- Move libnfc/bitutils.c hex-dumping code to examples/nfc-utils.c;
- Replace calls to swap_endian32() and swap_endian64() functions with calls to bswap32() and bswap64 provided by endian.h.
And while I am here:
- Fix the DBG macro so that it does not throw warning at compile time.
