[Libusbx-devel] Announcing libusbx-1.0.17-rc1

[Hans de G. <hde...@re...>]

Hi All,

I'm very happy to announce libusbx-1.0.17-rc1.

2013-08-28: v1.0.17-rc1
* Hotplug callbacks now always get passed a libusb_context, even if it is
   the default context. Previously NULL would be passed for the default context,
   but since the first context created is the default context, and most apps
   use only 1 context, this meant that apps explicitly creating a context would
   still get passed NULL
* Android: Add .mk files to build with the Android NDK
* Darwin: Add Xcode project
* Darwin: Fix crash on unplug (#121)
* Linux: Fix hang (deadlock) on libusb_exit
* Linux: Fix libusbx build failure with --disable-udev (#124)
* Linux: Fix libusb_get_device_list() hang with --disable-udev (#130)
* OpenBSD: Update OpenBSD backend with support for control transfers to
   non-ugen(4) devices and make get_configuration() no longer generate I/O.
   Note that using this libusbx version on OpenBSD requires using
   OpenBSD 5.3-current or later. Users of older OpenBSD versions are advised
   to stay with the libusb shipped with OpenBSD (mpi)
* Windows: fix libusb_dll_2010.vcxproj link errors (#129)
* Various other bug fixes and improvements
The (#xx) numbers are libusbx issue numbers, see ie:
https://github.com/libusbx/libusbx/issues/121

You can download the 1.0.17-rc1 tarbal here:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libusbx/libusbx-1.0.17-rc1.tar.bz2

Please give it a thorough testing, and report any issues you find.

Regards,

Hans
