-Complete rewrite and restructure of code based on ever-increasing
-familiarity with the Mustang communication protocol and API.  The
-bridge code is now fully mulithreaded.  A persistent background thread
-is constantly listening to incoming traffic from the amp and updating
-shared data as necessary.  This greatly increases stability and makes
-the bridge tolerant of manual adjustments on the amplifier while
-nominally under MIDI control.  In particular, it is now possible to
-engage the tuner function on the amp without ill side-effects.
-
-The command line parameter for MIDI controller port is now assumed to
-start at 0 rather than 1 in order to match the way Linux ALSA
-enumerates devices (see 'Run' below).
-
-I have added a runtime framework that starts and stops the program
-automatically based on attached MIDI devices. There is a small amount
-of customization required to account for your specific amp model and
-MIDI controller interface. Please see below (for experts) or the
-Install Wiki page (link below) for complete step-by-step details.
-
-Support added for amp and effects models specific to the Mustang v2
-products.
-
-Added a python script to drive regression testing.

 I've had success using a passive USB hub with the single USB on the
 BBG, but YMMV since most USB<->5Pin MIDI converters draw some degree
 of bus power.  A powered hub might be necessary in some situations.
