New in 1.4.1:
API Changes

New in 1.4.0:
API Changes
* Types

instead)
* Structures
- nfc_device_t now have a boolean bAutoIso14443_4 to keep the locally the

.nbr = NBR_106,
};
- nfc_target_t now contains new nfc_modulation_t instead of

of libnfc API anymore (these features are always available in examples/)
API Changes
* Types
- New nfc_device_option_t value (enum): NDO_AUTO_14443_4, an option to
enable/disable auto-switching to ISO/IEC 14443-4 if device is compliliant
- New nfc_device_option_t value (enum): NDO_EASY_FRAMING, an option to
enable/disable automatic frames encapsulation and chaining

mifare_param_auth, mifare_param_data, mifare_param_value, mifare_param
* Structures
