This release introduces new functionality and bug fixes, particularly support
for the bladeRF 2.0 Micro product. It consists of the following versions:

    * FPGA bitstream                v0.7.3
    * FX3 firmware                  v2.2.0
    * libbladeRF                    v2.0.2
    * bladeRF-cli                   v1.6.1
    * MATLAB &amp; Simulink bindings    v1.0.1
    * Python bindings               v1.0.1

*****************************************************************************

Summary of changes since 2016.06:

* FPGA
    - Added support for Automatic Gain Control
    - Redesign build system to support multiple product models
    - Initial release with bladeRF Micro support
    - Refactoring, bug fixes, and other misc. improvements

* FX3
    - Add support for the bladeRF 2.0 (2cf0:5250).
    - Fix loading FPGA bitstreams from flash when there is nothing connected to
      the USB connector.
    - Move USB descriptor consts to .usbdscr section so the linker glomps them.

* libbladeRF
    - Added support for Automatic Gain Control
    - Added bladeRF.conf config option file
    - Refactor to support for multiple product lines
    - Add support for the bladeRF Micro product
    - API: replace bladerf_module with bladerf_channel, a reverse-compatible
      change to handle products with multiple independent RF paths in the same
      direction
    - API: BREAKING CHANGE - on bladerf_set_frequency, et al, the frequency
      parameter is now uint64_t instead of unsigned int
    - Add typedefs for common param types, e.g. bladerf_frequency -&gt; uint64_t

* bladeRF-cli
    - Added support for Automatic Gain Control
    - No longer initializes the bladeRF before loading a new FPGA image, to
      avoid potential catch-22 problems
    - bladeRF 2.0 Micro support
    - Support for MIMO RX and TX using "channel=" parameter on rx/tx config
    - Various code quality fixups

* MATLAB &amp; Simulink bindings
    - Add support for bladeRF 2.0 (Micro) products
    - Change "not supported" (-8) library errors to Matlab warnings
      temporarily, to permit some grace while others' scripts are updated.
    - Update bladeRF_XCVR to use new unified gain control
    - Add bladeRF_Misc for misc measurements and controls
    - Update bladeRF_rx_gui to support unified gain
    - Update Simulink block to match libbladeRF v2.0.0

* Python
