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. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
