[Josh Blum]

Hey List,

New installers have been uploaded for MSVC2015 and 2013:
https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/wiki

############################
Notable additions include:
############################

- LimeSDR support: https://myriadrf.org/projects/lime-suite/
- SoapyS9C-ExtIO: https://github.com/jocover/SoapyS9C-ExtIO
- BTLE demo blocks: https://github.com/DesignSparkrs/sdr-ble-demo/

We are also building BladeRF with CyAPI support along-side libusb. This
should help cases where the libusb implementation may be misbehaving.

############################
Notable release tags:
############################

- pothos-0.3.3
- soapy-sdr-0.4.3
- volk v1.2.2

GNU Radio install notes:
############################

I've been working on streamlining the python side of the GNU Radio
install. On failure, the gnuradio companion shortcut now automatically
prompts the user to run GnuradioHelper.py to sanity check the install
and to download and install python modules + gtk runtime.

I've simplified the install instructions to 3 easy steps and moved the
advanced debugging notes to the bottom of the page:
https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/wiki/GNURadio#installation-instructions

Here is the support project for the new shortcut, check it out:

I hope all goes well with the installer!
Thanks,
-Josh
