Then allow me to add add to your confusion: Ever stopped to wonder why the libusb release candidates happen in an private branch and not their mainline? Or wondered about what happened to libusb releases 1.0.10 to 1.0.15? I could also comment on how major features are being shoved in between two RCs there. > I switched to libusbx a > few months ago because of the reasons you list on your website. And now > it's the other way around? We picked a few OS X patches from Nathan's libusb branch for our 1.0.15 release, but not the one you are interested in. For what is worth, we tend to cater for patches that are issued against our mainline first (a few of them occurred, giving us more than enough material to go to release), and then pick the diffs from libusb when we feel they have stabilized enough. In case you haven't noticed, these libusb changes are very recent, and exist in a private branch, so I hope you'll excuse us for not picking them up right away when we are busy with the process of going through our own release and trying to minimize changes to our repository during that time. Also, we sure wouldn't mind if libusb finalized all these changes through an actual release, before we pick them up, as some of them them could do with a little more finishing... Since it's a bit too late for 1.0.15, this patch will make it into 1.0.16 along with whatever libusb introduced and that we think our users can benefit from. Given past history, which is our reason for forking, there's probably a good chance to see the libusbx 1.0.16 release happen before libusb actually release their 1.0.16 (or whatever they'll decide to bump their release number to then)... Now, of course, you can greatly speed up the libusbx integration of the patch you are after by isolating the libusb changes, and converting them into a patch that we can apply against our mainline.
