Pyserial

--------------------------

- deprecate ``nonblocking()`` method on posix, the port is already in this
mode.

- posix: retry if interrupted in Serial.read

Bugfixes (win32):

- win32: handle errors of GetOverlappedResult in read(), fixes 121

--------------------------
Improvements:

- improve error handling in ``alt://`` handler
- ``socket://`` internally used select, improves timeout behavior
- initial state of RTS/DTR: ignore error when setting on open posix
(support connecting to pty's)
- code style updates
- posix: remove "number_to_device" which is not called anymore
- add cancel_read and cancel_write to win32 and posix implementations

- [87] hexlify: update codec for Python 2
- [100] setPort not implemented
- [101] bug in serial.threaded.Packetizer with easy fix
- [104] rfc2217 and socket: set timeout in create_connection
- [107] miniterm.py fails to exit on failed serial port

Bugfixes (posix):

- [59] fixes for RTS/DTR handling on open
- [77] list_ports_osx: add missing import
- [85] serialposix.py _set_rs485_mode() tries to read non-existing

- list_ports: return name if product is None, fix for 54
- port_publisher: restore some sorting of ports

------------------------
- minor fixes to setup.py (file list), inter_byte_timeout (not stored when
passed to __init__), rfc2217 (behavior of close when open failed),
list_ports (__str__), loop://, renamed ReaderThread
- hwgrep:// added options to pick n'th port, skip busy ports
- miniterm: --ask option added

Bugfixes (posix):

- [26/30] always call tcsettattr on open

--------------------------
- list_ports: add ``vid``, ``pid``, ``serial_number``, ``product``,
``manufacturer`` and ``location`` attribute for USB devices.
- list_ports: update OSX implementation.
- list_ports: Raspberry Pi: internal port is found.
- serial_for_url: fix import (multiple packages in list)
- threaded: added new module implementing a reader thread

--------------------------
- Starting from this release, only Python 2.7 and 3.2 (or newer) are supported.
The source code is compatible to the 2.x and 3.x series without any changes.
The support for earlier Python versions than 2.7 is removed, please refer to
the pyserial-legacy (V2.x) series if older Python versions are a
requirement).
- Development moved to github, update links in docs.
- API changes: properties for ``rts``, ``dtr``, ``cts``, ``dsr``, ``cd``, ``ri``,
``in_waiting`` (instead of get/set functions)
- remove file ``FileLike`` class, add ``read_until`` and ``iread_until`` to
``SerialBase``
- RS485 support changed (``rts_toggle`` removed, added ``serial.rs485`` module
and ``rs485_mode`` property)
- ``socket://`` and ``rfc2217://`` handlers use the IPv6 compatible
``socket.create_connection``
- New URL handler: ``spy:://``.
- URL handlers now require the proper format (``?`` and ``&``) for arguments
instead of ``/`` (e.g. ``rfc2217://localhost:7000?ign_set_control&timeout=5.5``)
- Remove obsolete examples.
- Finish update to BSD license.
- Use setuptools if available, fall back to distutils if unavailable.
