[Fed-Talk] First public release of keychain-pkcs11 available

Greetings all,

I am pleased to announce the first public release (0.9.1) of
Keychain-PKCS11 available for download!

For those of you who missed the discussion earlier, Keychain-PKCS11 is
a PKCS#11 library implementation designed to provide an interface to
the native Apple Smartcard services found on Sierra and newer.  This is
designed for users who wish to use Apple native Smartcard support but
have applications which are not compatible with the APIs used to access
Smartcards via the native Smartcard services.  More information can be
found on the Github page:

        https://github.com/kenh/keychain-pkcs11

We have been using this library locally for a few months to provide CAC
access for Firefox and Adobe Acrobat (for document signing), and so far
it has worked well; I am interesed in getting feedback from a wider
community.

You can get a Installer package from the releases page here:

        https://github.com/kenh/keychain-pkcs11/releases

The installer is not exactly very well polished, but it should be
functional.  Unfortunately, it is not signed by Apple (that is on my
list, but it's not under my control), so you will have to use the "open"
command from a Terminal prompt or use "Open Anyway" from the Security
pane of System Preferences.  If you prefer to compile your own copy
you can do so from the source code release also available from the
release page.

Feedback is welcome; please let me know what you think!

--Ken
