Damien Douxchamps — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:27:37 -0000

New features on Juju platform:

- Added timestamp support and implemented dc1394_read_cycle_timer function (requires kernel 2.6.24+).

- Implemented dc1394_camera_set_broadcast, dc1394_camera_get_broadcast, and automatic channel/bandwidth allocation (requires kernel 2.6.30+).

- New features for all platforms:

- Added new Format7 modes for IIDC 1.32

- Added missing documentation

- Bug fixes:

- Fix missing frames on Juju when host controller is OHCI 1.0 and packets-per-frame is not a multiple of 8.

- Fix wrong return value of dc1394_deinterlace_stereo_frames

- Fixed bad initializations and build options (from Mike Lundy)

- More robust /dev/fw* detection (from Stefan Richter)

libdc1394: 2.1.0 out: runtime platform selection added

Damien Douxchamps — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:36:38 -0000

The libdc1394 project has released a new upstream version:

New features include:
- USB support for Point Grey Chameleon and Firefly MV
- Platform selection at run-time instead of compile-time (juju, linux,
etc.). This eliminates the --with-juju-dir compile-time option.

The API and ABI are still maintained with the older versions.

TODO:
- proper iso allocation/deallocation
- add timestamp support (as per linux 2.6.30)
- add broadcast support

libdc1394 minor/bugfix new release 2.0.3 available

Damien Douxchamps — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:38:41 -0000

New release:
This was a stability release.
Change log:
* Bug fixes:
+ Crash on Mac OS 10.4
+ Bad data in mixed x86_64/i386 environments with Juju
+ Wrong return value from dc1394_trigger_get_polarity()
+ Incomplete results from dc1394_deinterlace_stereo_frames()
* Compilation fixes when downloading from SVN
Todo of the next releases includes:
* new features.
* Runtime selection of platform (juju, linux legacy, mac os, etc.) vs current compile time. This will allow a single compile of libdc1394 to run on either juju or an older kernel.
* Support IIDC-over-USB from Point Grey.

Longer term todo:
* Better detection of corrupt frames on Linux
* Accurate timestamps on Juju
* Hotplug support
* isochronous bandwidth/channel allocation on Juju

A Windows patch is being tested

Damien Douxchamps — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:35:10 -0000

If everything work as planned, this means libdc1394 will run on three platforms: Linux, OSX and Windows.

Banzai!
