LCDproc driver for PiFace Control and Display
=============================================
11/02/2014 - The patch has been merged into the LCDproc dev branch. There
have been changes made to the way inputs work by [Markus Dolze](http://lists.omnipotent.net/pipermail/lcdproc/2014-February/014217.html), before the merge.
The code in this repository does not reflect these changes.
