This caught my attention in the changelog:
# Linux device detection: Parse /proc/bus/usb/devices directly instead of using libusb
I've been reading for awhile now that /proc/bus/usb is deprecated and using libusb or /dev/bus/usb or sysfs is the correct way. This broke my garmin gps for awhile until they updated gpsd.
The newest Ubuntu kernels don't even have usbfs anymore, so you cannot even mount it manually.
