Recent releases
- 08 Oct 2006 20:32
Changes: The project has switched to the V4L2 API: the driver is now only compatible with V4L2 and 2.6.x kernels. Compatibility has been fixed for kernels 2.6.18 and greater. The JPEG decoder has been removed since it is not needed anymore. Gadget options (OSD and software brightness/contrast) have been removed. Some delay has been added during open/close sequences to avoid Webcam hardware crashes. 640x480 mode has been enabled for some webcams. There is some code cleanup (the driver is much smaller than before).
