Apologies, I'm just getting around to looking at this.

Is there any chance of getting a version of it that (1) has a proper
changelog, and (2) better describes the applicability of this option.
Presumably if I don't know what an "Owl serial port" is I don't need it,
but maybe a phrase saying where such ports might be found would be helpful
here?

Thanks,

jon
