picchick v0.3.1

This release fixes a bug in the setup.cfg causing picchick to fail to execute. All users are forced to updated because of this bug, sorry. :)
This bug unfortunately only affected operation when installed from a wheel, and during development I of course had it installed in "editable" mode where this issue did not occur. You live you learn.

This release is available to install from pypi

picchick v0.3.0

This release adds several new features to picchick:

• Programmer flag -c to specify programmer
• New programmer type flipflop
• Verification flag
• Better UI during programming of a device
• Improved interface for project components

A minor version bump is to indicate incompatibility with v0.2.
Release is available on pypi to update and install.

picchick v0.2.0

Changes in Version 0.2.0:

• Firmware no longer included in picchick project. It is now just the host software.
• Port flag changed from -p to -P or --port.
• Baud flag changed from -b to -B or --baud.
• Baud is now correctly configured based on the flag (was always defaulting to 9600).
• Various other bugfixes.

The main change included in this version was a bugfix to correctly set the baudrate based on the flag. This allows us to communicate to the new picstick using a much higher baudrate (115200 vs 9600).
The programmer port and baud flags were changed to be capitals to more closely resemble avrdude.

This version can be found on pypi here
