## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung
libusb-compat is the libusb project's compatibility layer for software written against the old libusb-0.1 API while systems moved to the newer libusb-1.0 stack.
### Projektgeschichte
The project appeared during the libusb-1.0 transition as a deliberately conservative bridge: keep legacy usb_* callers building and running while letting distributions ship the newer libusb implementation underneath. Its release notes show an initial beta in May 2008, a 0.1.0 release in December 2008, and later fixes focused on endpoint-addressing compatibility, initialization behavior, cross-compiling, and avoiding symbol clashes with libusb-1.0.
### Adoptionsgeschichte
The package became useful to Unix package maintainers because many older USB tools and libraries expected libusb-0.1 headers or libusb-config even after libusb-1.0 had become the maintained API. Keeping it packaged let distributions retire older implementation details without forcing every leaf package to port at once.
### Wie es verwendet wird
End users rarely call libusb-compat directly. It is normally pulled in as a build or runtime dependency for older USB-aware software, with libusb-config serving legacy configure scripts.
### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren
It is a classic transition package: small, boring, and important because it absorbs API churn between a widely used hardware-access library and a long tail of older consumers.
### Zeitleiste
- 2008-05-25: Initial 0.1.0 beta release.
- 2008-12-13: libusb-compat-0.1.0 release.
- 2009: 0.1.1 through 0.1.3 refined endpoint behavior, initialization failure handling, error-code compatibility, and cross-compiling.
- 2015: 0.1.6 added cleanup handling, libusb-1.0 dlopen handling, and MinGW updates.
### Related projects
- libusb-1.0 is the implementation layer that libusb-compat targets.
- libusb-0.1 is the legacy API surface preserved for old consumers.
