I see. So the direction is to keep libftdi-1.0 compatible with
libftdi-0.19 without breaking the API. Initially I thought this
might hinder the development of libftdi-1.0, but now I support
this goal.
So in this case, the header name and library name should
be kept the same as libftdi-0.19, just version updates, right?

Maybe we can use this thread as a start.
Tasks to make libftdi-1.0 compatible with libftdi-0.19 without
API breakage. Uwe mentioned the following two points.
1) To make EEPROM structure opaque
2) To deal with ftdi_context
3) update version information
API extenstions
1) Add auto-re-attach kernel driver upon close mode
2) ...
Tasks on improving the documentation and examples
1) To mention dependency to libusb-1.0
2) To deal with libusb-1.0 Windows situation
3) Better documentation about the async mode
4) Document the new EEPROM function
5) Detailed comparison between 1.0 and 0.19
6) ftd2xx to libftdi migration examples ?
7) ...
Build system
1) Cmake improvement for Windows
2) Better cross-compile instruction for MinGW
3) Add cross-compile instruction for MinGW-w64
4) How to build the Python wrapper under Windows?
5) How to build the Boost C++ wrapper under Windows?
6) ?
