On the other hand, it seems to me that libusbx-2.0 will not that different from libusbx-1.0. BTW, I do not quite understand the current roadmap page with regard to 1.1,0 and 1.1.1. I think they will not be materialized, right? https://github.com/libusbx/libusbx/issues/milestones?direction=asc&sort=due_date -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
