And ofcourse the standard addition of support for a few new camera output formats. libv4l-0.6.0 ------------- * Recognize disabled controls and replace with fake equivalents where available * Add support for decompressing ov511 and ov518 "JPEG", by piping data through an external helper as I've failed to contact Mark W. McClelland to get permission to relicense the code. If you know a working email address for Mark W. McClelland, please let me know. * Add tons of laptop models to the upside down devices table * Support for rgb565 source format by Mauro Carvalho Chehab * Many bug fixes (see the mercurial tree for details) * Improved pac207 decompression code to also support higher compression modes of the pac207, which enables us to use higher framerates. Many many thanks to Bertrik Sikken for figuring the decompression out! Get it here: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.6.0.tar.gz Regards, Hans
