I have released libusb-1.0.0. libusb is a library which allows you to write applications that interact with USB devices, without the requirement of writing a kernel device driver.

The new libusb-1.0 branch includes new features and improvements over previous versions of the library. Here is a brief run-down, see the release announcement for more details:

• Support for isochronous endpoints.
• Asynchronous I/O for advanced users.
• A simple, synchronous I/O interface also exists (in the style of libusb-0.1).
• Lightweight with very few dependencies
• Thread safety
• Power saving
• Reduced CPU usage and power drain
• Increased USB throughput
• Detailed API documentation
• Compatibility with libusb-0.1 through the libusb-compat-0.1 compatibility layer
