Interestingly, the following libftdi binaries got the most download.
libftdi1-1.4git_devkit_x86_x64_14June2018.zip --2517
libftdi1-1.1_devkit_x86_x64_21Feb2014.zip -- 2723
libftdi1-1.0_devkit_mingw32_17Feb2013.zip -- 5115
The 1.0 binary is the most popular, probably because of the
following two website.
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft232h-breakout/windows-setup
http://embedded-funk.net/running-libftdi-under-windows/
On the other hand, Adafruit has moved to use pyftdi based blinka,
no longer based on libftdi python bindings.

pyftdi does not depend on libftdi, rather it depends on pyusb.
FYI, pyusb has a new developer and I am also one of the admins
helping out on the support side.
https://github.com/pyusb/pyusb
pyftdi: based on pyusb and pyserial
https://github.com/eblot/pyftdi
pylibftdi: based on libftdi
