I wrote the first version of this in 2020, in the first few months of writing Rust, and foolishly put the >= specifier on the inter-crate version specifiers. This exploded a few days ago when the macros crate was no longer compatible with all older versions.

I don't really know a way to fix this without everyone upgrading to usbd-hid 0.8 :(

If anyone has any ideas for how to fix this for the 0.6 or 0.7 series please let me know. Sorry again.

[andrewdavidmackenzie]

My particular problem will be solved by a.version update "upstream" in embasy-usb-logger.....

To everyone following along, heres how to fix your build:

1. If you can, use the 0.8 series. 0.8.2 specifically at time of writing.
2. If you can't, use a patch for the 0.6 or 0.7 series. Those are either: 0.6.2 or 0.7.1.

Sorry about this.
