Did you add USB hard disks in this version?

Noticed USB HDD controller in v5.0.

It needs to be documented + change-log.

Yes, it works a bit different than the other storage controllers though, the controller as seen in the settings is not mapped 1:1 to the guest. Unlike the other storage controllers, where the controller will appear with multiple disks attached in the VM, with the USB controller each disk attached to the controller will appear as a different mass storage device in the guest. At the moment you can attach up to 8 disks to the "virtual" controller and each disk will appear as another MSD in the guest.
