gqcam 0.9 --------- Here is a list of changes for various versions of gqcam. Version 0.1 ----------- First version Version 0.2 ----------- Switched to the Video4Linux interface to the camera. Fixed the depth selection Version 0.3 ----------- Added a backing pixmap Added ability to save pictures to ppm format Fixed image size-change ghosts Version 0.4 ----------- Created a better save dialog Added ability to save pictures to jpeg format Rearranged the code some into smaller parts Started using gtk_idle instead of gtk_timeout Version 0.5 ----------- Now works with both the color AND the greyscale QuickCam! Rewrote much of the code to be more sane Started playing with a multi-threaded approach Version 0.6 ----------- Much more versatile code; gqcam should now work with a wider range of cameras (specifically with CPiA, in general with any the supports the read() command) Added a menu with gobs of commands Added a tear-off control panel Made things a little faster and a little less CPU intensive. Added command line options for dumping images to stdout (ppm only at the moment) and setting camera parameters (run gqcam --help to list them) Version 0.7 ----------- Random bug fixes (and probably introductions...) Better threading (thanks to Jack Diederich <jack_diederich@email.com>) Rewrote save dialog/functions Added PNG support Added some new command line options Fixed problem with --dump and no X server running Version 0.8 ----------- Added some very early filter support Added a filter to switch the image from BGR to RGB before displaying (access it through the -s or --swap command line switches for the moment; in the future there will be a "filters" dialog) Added a generic error dialog function to make things more visual Added/fixed up timer support (use gqcam as a webcam!) Probably a few other little things I am forgetting to list Version 0.9 ----------- Added a preferences dialog (small now, will grow as time goes on...) Added an autobrightness option Added filename timestamp abilities
