⚠️ Pre-release. Published for testing. Behaviour and artifacts are not final.

ℹ️ Platform support.

macOS (arm64 + amd64) is the primary dev target and exercised against real CH341A hardware on every release.
Windows + Linux are built but tested against hardware less often. Issues on any platform are welcome at https://github.com/packetThrower/etch341/issues.
