changes since 0.9.5:

==User interface changes==
* The -p/--programmer parameter is now mandatory for all operations that access \ 
the programmer/chip.
*: Previously there was a default programmer selected at build time. This was \ 
convenient for most users, but created a danger for others that increased with \ 
the number of platforms and programmers supported, namely that they get used to \ 
a default programmer that later changes when they use another binary. It is very \ 
easy to brick a mainboard in case you do not notice you are writing its firmware \ 
instead of a device attached to an external programmer. The disadvantage is of \ 
course that many users have now to add '''-p internal''' to the command line \ 
when they want to do ''the obvious'' and flash their mainboards.
* It is now possible to let flashrom create log files directly (by using the new \ 
-o/--output option).
* flashrom now checks for duplicate -i/--image arguments (which are used \ 
together with layout files).

==New major user-visible features==
* Programmer support:
** new driver ''ponyprog'' for hardware similar to SI Prog
** native SPI AAI write support to the Dediprog SF100 driver
* Support for new chips:
** Atmel AT49F040
** Eon EN25QH32
** Eon EN29LV640B
** GigaDevice GD25QXX
** Numonyx N25Q064
** PMC Pm39LV512

==Infrastructural improvements and fixes==
* The dummy programmer got support for SFDP and now has a dedicated status register.
* Various minor refactorings of SPI-related code.
* The code generating the list of supported hardware for the wiki has been improved.
* Many exit() calls have been replaced by proper error handling.
* I/O permissions are now released automatically on shutdown.
* Preliminary work on Winbond W836xx and ITE IT8707F/IT8710F detection.

= Minor versions =
flashrom 0.9.6 had a small bug regarding the version string, which has been \ 
fixed in 0.9.6.1.
