Another hurdle is libftdi-1.0 is not formally released. Now Linux distros and Mac OS X ports (Macports, Homebrew, Fink, etc) are still shipping with libftdi-0.x (latest version is libftdi-0.20). I am active in the libftdi mailling list as well. I will ask again for the release of libftdi-1.0 now that libusb/libusbx have the formal release of libusb-1.0 under Windows (that was part of the hurdle for libftdi-1.0). -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
