Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
A C++ interface was added. Integration of the C++ interface was also a good start to use a separate directory (/usr/include/opendbx/) for the header files, including the new opendbx/api.hpp. The old odbx.h is still available but only as a legacy file which includes the new opendbx/api.h header.
