After a long wait, finally, pilot-link v0.12.0 has been released.
See:

FC5 shipped with a pre-release version of pilot-link v0.12.0 that was
later reverted in an errata update to pilot-link v0.11.8.
It would be nice if FC6 could ship with v0.12.0. It solves major
problems (race conditions most notably) with it's libusb support, plus
it is much faster.
Note that there are API changes between pilot-link 0.11.8 and 0.12.0. I
don't know that the status of the jpilot/kpilot/multisync/.... projects
is, but this is the situation as regards gnome-pilot:
1. gnome-pilot-2.0.14pre6 is a pre-release version of gnome-pilot,
based on CVS as at 2006-08-30. It can be built against pilot-link
0.11.8 or 0.12.0 and includes support for libusb syncing (requires
pl 0.12.0 which has been configured for libusb, blacklisting of the
visor module, and installation of pilot-link udev rules).
2. gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.14pre5 is a pre-release version of
gnome-pilot-conduits, based on CVS as at 2006-08-12. It can be
built against pilot-link 0.11.8 or 0.12.0.
3. The Evolution CVS has not, AFAIK, been updated for the pilot-link
0.12.0 API. The patch by Mark Adams (and others?) included in the
fc5 RPMs is a good starting point. This patch is being reviewed
with a view to submission to the Evolution team. See recent
postings to the gnome-pilot-list for details.
