v0.8.5

[SebastienElet]

Same issue with 0.8.4

[SebastienElet]

I solved my problem with downgrade of nodejs to 0.6.19

cd /usr/local/Library/Formula && git checkout 83988e4 node.rb && brew unlink nodejs && brew install nodejs

[peters]

It would be great if we could have support for 0.8.x branch! This is an awesome library :)

[mharsch]

This is caused by a change in the API for libuv in node >0.6.x: joyent/libuv#347

Obviously, the root cause is issue #12

[danielbprice]

Hit this too, with 0.8.19. Would love a fix.

[kevinmehall]

You can try out my fork: https://github.com/nonolith/node-usb, which works on 0.8 and 0.10, Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Note that the API is not compatible (hopefully you find it an improvement).
