Hi all,

I am not so sure how many people are still using libusb-win32. I will
still be able to spend time on this mailing list to support technical
questions but I do not think any new release will be done. It is quite
mature and I think people can still use it (I have not tested Windows
10 yet).

For the libusb-win32 driver portion, other than some legacy device,
I think it is probably better to use WinUSB whenever possible. As
for libusb-win32 library portion (extended libusb-0.1 API), it is probably
better to migrated to libusb-1.0 API (by libusb project). The only missing
function for libusb Windows is currently the isochronous transfer which
I believe will eventually be incorporated.

So I guess if you are happy with libusb-win32 you can continue to use
it. If not, better start to switch to libusb.
