Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the libusb-1.0.20-rc3 release. This release comes
soon after rc2 to address a regression found in the previous releases.

It has been over a year since the last release, and a lot of changes have
gone in during that time (95 commits).

* Windows: Improve submission of control requests for composite devices
* Examples: Add two-stage load support to fxload (#12)
* Correctly report cancellations due to timeouts
* Improve efficiency of event handling
* Improve speed of transfer submission in multi-threaded environments
* Various other bug fixes and improvements
The (#xx) numbers are libusb issue numbers, see ie:
