 		The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later
 		extended to also support parallel cables.

+		<UL>
+			<LI><I>2008-03-26</I>: Xilinx has released their own drivers based on libusb with ISE Design Suite 10.1.
+			To use them, you need to set the environment-variable <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd> to <kbd>1</kbd>
+			before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used
+			it to access USB cables. Parallel port support still seems to rely on <i>windrvr</i>, which can be
+			emulated by <i>libusb-driver</i>.</P>
+			<P><B>Using 32-bit ISE 10.1 on a 64-bit platform:</B> When using the 32-bit JTAG tools from ISE Design
+			Suite 10.1 on a 64-bit machine, the tools will not connect to the cable but output the following
+			error: <I>Cable operation is not supported when running the 32-bit version of the application on a
+			64-bit platform.</I>
+			To fix this, run the tools with <KBD>linux32</KBD> or preload the newest 32-bit version of
+			<i>libusb-driver</i>. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit
+			platform and allows them to connect to the cable.</LI>
+
+			<LI><I>2009-05-31</I>: ISE Design Suite 11.1 now uses their libusb based drivers as default, without
+			the need to set <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd>. If you want to use this driver with ISE 11.1 for USB
+			cables and disable the builtin support for libusb, you now have to set <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd>
+			to <kbd>0</kbd> (<kbd>export XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB=0</kbd> or <kbd>setenv XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB 0</kbd>).
+			For parallel cables Xilinx still relies on <i>windrvr</i>. This library works fine with parallel cables and
+			ISE 11.1 with no need for <i>windrvr</i>.</LI>
