Subject: [linux-usb-devel] [Announce] usbview 0.9.0 release

I have just released a new version of usbview which is available at
http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/

It now can do autorefresh when the USB bus topology changes if you are
running with kernel 2.4.0-test8 or greater.  It also displays any
devices that do not have drivers bound to them in red.

Here is the full changelog for this version:

- added Trond Eivind Glomsrød's patch to always try to populate the
  device tree when the program is started.
- cleaned up the code layout, removing the i18n code for now. Also got
  rid of some old Glade helper code that was not being used.  This
  reduced the tarball size by about 1/2!
- usbview now updates the device list when devices are plugged in or
  removed from the bus automatically (needs 2.4.0-test8 or later to work
  properly due to a patch I made for drivers/usb/inode.c to enable this
  to work.)
- Made any device that does not have a driver associated with it, show
  up in red in the device listing.  This should help users with the
  problem that "My device shows up properly in usbview, but it isn't
  working," that a lot of people seem to have (it isn't obvious, I
  know...)
- Added small, drab looking "About" dialog box, to make it easier to
  determine which version this is.

thanks,

greg k-h
