Warning for installing from the packaged release assets (.deb or .rpm files below)

If you have previously installed the library from source code using the traditional ./configure; make; sudo make install, then you will need to uninstall it manually to avoid runtime conflicts.

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/librf24.*
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/librf24-bcm.so
sudo rm -r /usr/local/include/RF24

This is because the Linux package manager puts the newly installed library into a /usr/lib and /usr/include folders. Installing from source will put the lib in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include folders.

Bug fix for SoftSPI

This release reverts the changes made to SoftSPI implementation in v1.4.0. Also has a slight adjustment of a code snippet in the docs. Thank you @bifferos
