No, but there's been a change, though. I finally put in an option to enable the
releasing of the device, with the default being the original behaviour, i.e. 
that the device isn't released. Specify -r [--release-device].

You can specify this via the -U (uppercase) [--update-interval=] option. The
units are in hundredths of a second with the default being 4.
