For the trunk branch, I don't know if the comment to changeset 3784 is OK: 
https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/changeset/3784
This can't affect 0.11.

There are two targets:
1. If a PIN is entered via software, cache it in a single location, usable by 
all layers above libopensc by same mechanism
2. Allow to personalize a card with all PIN-s going through a pinpad.

1. is possible, but 2 via PKCS#11 might be a problem, if a card requires 
several times a PIN for a single operation...
