libusb-1.0 is an almost-rewrite of the previous stable branch,
|
|
libusb-0.1. It is a lightweight library that can be efficiently
|
|
integrated into applications of any kind, with several new features.
|
|
|
|
Backwards compatibility
|
|
libusb-1.0 is not backwards compatible with libusb-0.1 - all function
|
|
names are different, etc. However, libusb-1.0 is designed to be happily
|
|
installable alongside libusb-0.1 (even in the default configuration) so
|
|
the lack of backwards compatibility is not really a problem - users can
|
|
have both libusb versions present on the same system without conflict.
|
|
|
|
That said, a libusb-compat-0.1 compatibility layer does exist. This
|
|
is a "wrapper" which converts libusb-0.1 function calls to their 1.0
|
|
equivalents. For more info, see LibusbCompat0.1.
