Releases
The CCID driver 1.4.25 was released September, 30th 2016. And the macOS Sierra 10.12.2 upgrade was released December 14, 2016 so 2.5 months later.That is a good news to see Apple integrating new versions of the CCID driver in "minor" operating system upgrades. It was already the case with macOS El Capitan (see "OS X El Capitan and CCID evolution")
