Release 0.3.3 Published

[andrewdavidmackenzie]

I have just published to crates.io Pigg v0.3.3 which adds the remote GPIO networking feature!

You start-up piglet on a Raspberry Pi (or install it as a System Service), get the nodeid that prints out, and use it with piggui on your platform of choice, either as a command line parameter (--nodeid XXX) or using the dialog from the hardware menu in the info bar at the bottom of the screen.

You can see a couple of short videos on youtube showing this new functionality working:

Video using CLI argument: https://youtu.be/zcEa_Oke014

We'd love to hear back from folks who try it out!

It still requires a bit of work to build from source (master or the release artifacts), until we do our build and packaging work next, but the instructions in the repo in the BUILDING.md hopefully help with that!

We had a couple of unexpected bumps on the road (outside our code) with 0.3.0 that lead to 0.3.1 and then 0.3.2, and finally a 0.3.3 with a fix to ease usability.

Next time we'll try doing pre-releases, and avoid this churn and wasting your time.
