[Chris Liechti]

A new prerelease of pySerial is available. There have been a lot
of changes so that the major version was bumped up to 3.

Changes include:

   no longer used)
- More properties, the set functions are deprecated.
- Updated miniterm (uses Unicode for console output, supports
   encodings on serial port, nicer port selection and more).
- IPv6 support for rfc2217:// and socket://
- New spy:// handler to log traffic and control calls.
- URL parameters have changed.
- Experimental asyncio support (posix)
- A number of other bugfixes.
- And more...
