After a long (maybe too long) time I now publish a new version of pcsc-lite.
A lot a small bugs fixed.

Changes
pcsc-lite-1.8.9: Ludovic Rousseau
16 October 2013
- SCardEndTransaction(): Return an error if is called with no
  corresponding SCardBeginTransaction()
- SCardGetAttrib(): Add support of SCARD_ATTR_DEVICE_SYSTEM_NAME
- SCardGetAttrib(): Fix bug in SCARD_ATTR_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME
- SCardBeginTransaction() was not correctly releasing a mutex when the
  hCard handle was invalidated
  The problem was that SCardGetStatusChange() was blocked because
  SCardBeginTransaction() had not released the context mutex.
- PCSC/reader.h: Use C99 flexible array member
  The structures PIN_MODIFY_STRUCTURE and PIN_VERIFY_STRUCTURE now use a
  C99 flexible array member when available for abData field.
  uint8_t abData[];
- Add support of --reader-name-no-serial and --reader-name-no-interface
  It is now possible to NOT add the USB serial number of the reader
  using --reader-name-no-serial
  It is now possible to NOT add the CCID interface name of the reader
  using --reader-name-no-interface
- Add support of serialconfdir pkg-config variable
  It is now possible to use pkg-config to get the directory used by
  pcscd to fetch serial drivers configurations.
  $ pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=serialconfdir
  /etc/reader.conf.d
- pcsc-spy: Try to display the thread in the order they appear in the log
- pcsc-spy: Add SCARD_ATTR_DEVICE_SYSTEM_NAME
- Check the Info.plist file is (a minimum) correct
- Update PROTOCOL_VERSION_MINOR from 2 to 3
  We broke the API between version 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 by changing the value
  of MAX_READERNAME. This change should have been made before releasing
  version 1.8.4 to make mix of versions clearly non working instead of
  failing with strange errors.
- hotplug_libudev.c: Fix a memory leak in case of error
- Fix OpenBSD 5.2 compilation regarding dlopen
- correctly manage thread safe multi-slot readers
- Do not use pthread_atfork() any more (fix problem on FreeBSD)
- fix memory leaks.
  This was not really a problem unless you embedd pcscd in another
  process and do init/deinit pcscd without exiting the process (as maybe
  used on Android or iOS).
- pcscd.8 manpage: add documentation for --max-thread,
  --max-card-handle-per-thread, --max-card-handle-per-reader,
  --force-reader-polling, --error, --critical and --color
- Some other minor improvements and bug corrections
