[Spice-devel] Announcing usbredir-0.5.3 and ubsredir-0.4.4

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

Currently only qemu git master is compatible with the usbredirparser API
changes made for 64 bit packet id support!

Still some people have already begun using usbredir-0.5 without upgrading
qemu, which will cause crashes on 32 bit systems.

So to make clear that the API is not compatible (as was documented in
the original 0.5 announcement), a new 0.5.2 release has been done,
where the only change is to rename the libusbredirparser.pc file to
libusbredirparser-0.5.pc . Again: the 0.5 series only is for qemu
master, or qemu-1.2.0 with the relevant patches backported, ie:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/log/?h=qemu-kvm-1.2-usbredir

Since the 0.5 series also contains a few bugfixes I've also done a new
0.4.4 release, with only the bugfixes added. This is the release to use
when running current qemu releases!


usbredir-0.4.4 26 September 2012
--------------------------------
-usbredirparser:
  -usbredirparser_has_data_to_write now returns the write queue depth, instead
   of only 0 or 1
-usbredirhost:
  -Remove bulk packets time out, this fixes various devices not working
  -usbredirhost_has_data_to_write now returns the write queue depth, instead
   of only 0 or 1
  -when the write queue gets too large, drop isochronous input packets
-usbredirserver:
  -Fix a crash on client disconnect


usbredir-0.5.2 25 September 2012
--------------------------------
-usbredirparser:
  -rename libusbredirparser.pc to libusbredirparser-0.5.pc
   This should really have been done with the 0.5 release as API
   compatibility with previous releases was broken there!
