libusb/libusb has published its latest release v1.0.30. libusb is a cross-platform C library that allows applications to access and communicate with USB devices in user space. However, the research record contains no release notes or change list for v1.0.30, so what has changed this time cannot be confirmed.

The core of this library is its range of support. The README states that USB devices are accessed through user space on Linux, macOS, Windows, OpenBSD/NetBSD, Haiku and Solaris, and through WebUSB (a standard for handling USB devices in web browsers) on WebAssembly. The Haiku backend is written in C++, the rest in C. Distribution is under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1, or, at your option, any later version. The research record lists the repository creation date as December 11, 2013, and the star count as 6173.

However, the evaluation record is mostly empty. The momentum score came to just 1.7 out of 10, and no novelty, tech or quality scores were given. What the research record confirms is only the library's scope and distribution license; it does not contain enough basis for a judgment grounded in v1.0.30.
