Libchipcard is a library for easy access to chip cards via chip card readers (terminals). Libchipcard2 currently works under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and (partially) Windows.

A graphical setup tool (using KDE), man pages and German translations to all KDE programs and all console tools are provided.

This library is used by OpenHBCI and thus by AqMoney, GOpenHBCI, KOpenHBCI, LxBank and GnuCash to provide support for German Homebanking cards. Recently, AqBanking joined the family of programs using Libchipcard2.

What's New in This Release:
Many bugs were fixed and remote drivers were replaced by a new master-slave framework.
The driver code was cleaned up and the command and card description engine were moved from the server to the client, which makes it possible to run the framework under Windows, too.
The chipcard3-tool now has a "monitor" command, which listens for status changes in the server, reader, and card.
