It is a lightweight library that can be efficiently +integrated into applications of any kind, with several new features. + +Backwards compatibility +libusb-1.0 is not backwards compatible with libusb-0.1 - all function +names are different, etc. However, libusb-1.0 is designed to be happily +installable alongside libusb-0.1 (even in the default configuration) so +the lack of backwards compatibility is not really a problem - users can +have both libusb versions present on the same system without conflict. + +That said, a libusb-compat-0.1 compatibility layer does exist. This +is a "wrapper" which converts libusb-0.1 function calls to their 1.0 +equivalents. For more info, see LibusbCompat0.1. |
