>Just to be sure, the one with 1.0 at the end or the one without?

To be more accurate, the two endings are libusb and libusb-1.0. Those are USB 
interfaces. If you have a 64-bit Windows then you'll need libusb-1.0, and if 
you have a 32-bit Windows then you can use either. libusb is the older version 
that's no longer being developed, and libusb-1.0 is the newer version. libusb, 
even though it's old, does have one advantage - it has a USB filter driver.

By the way: For older brltty releases, the ones that don't specify the USB 
interface are libusb. That, of course, is because, way back when libusb-1.0 
didn't exist, there was no need for us to specify the difference. And then it 
took a while before we finally, for consistency, decided to add libusb.
