[ANNOUNCE] Version 0.7.0 now available

[Jef Driesen]

Hi,

The v0.7.0 release is now available!

http://www.libdivecomputer.org/releases/libdivecomputer-0.7.0.tar.gz

The main highlight of the v0.7.0 release is the introduction of the new
I/O interface. With this common interface, the dive computer backends
can more easily use different I/O implementations at runtime, including
an application defined one. This is needed to support Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE), for which there is no built-in implementation available.

Due to the fundamental changes to the I/O layer, this release is not
backwards compatible.
