kevinmehall<p>Released `nusb` v0.2.0 with a year's worth of improvements, redesigning the API to be easier to use and harder to misuse. It adds a high-level buffered Read/Write API, better async support for functions built on blocking OS APIs (also in preparation for a WebUSB backend), functionality for accessing USB bus topology, defaults to RAW_IO on Windows (which libusb still doesn't support), and adds zero-copy IO on Linux.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/kevinmehall/nusb/releases/tag/v0.2.0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/kevinmehall/nusb/re</span><span class="invisible">leases/tag/v0.2.0</span></a></p><p>`nusb` is my pure-<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rust</span></a> library for low-level cross-platform <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> device access.</p>
