The upgrade is silent, therefore screens connected to DL-5xxx, DL-3xxx or DL-41xx devices may require a few seconds to appear when devices are connected for the first time, or after devices have been used on other platforms and OSes.

- The communication between the EVDI kernel module and the wrapper libevdi library is not access-controlled or authenticated. This could be improved in future releases, making it harder to compromise the data EVDI is sending and receiving.
- EVDI kernel module driver is currently a platform_driver, for multiple reasons; most importantly because virtual displays are not discoverable, i.e. cannot be enumerated at the hardware level. EVDI is also a generic device, not tied to any particular kind of device, transport layer or a bus.

Adding support for indicating an area limit a client that connects to EVDI has.
v1.3.42
Adding support for indicating an area limit a client that connects to EVDI has.
Fixes for Kernels 4.9 and 4.10.
API change: Extension of evdi_connect function, allowing to register modes that the client supports, regardless of the fact they are not necessarily listed in the EDID of a monitor.
