Hi All,

I'm very happy to announce libv4l-0.6.2

This release features the following familiar new features from 0.6.0 release:
  • Software whitebalancing
  • Software automatic gain and exposure for cams which lack this in hardware
  • Software gamma control
  • Fake v4l2 controls to control all these
  • Software flipping controls
The big new feature (again) is a lot of additions of laptop models to the list of laptops whose
camera modules (mostly uvc) are known to be mounted upside down in the frame.

To give this version a try on F-10 or F-11 do:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install libv4l v4l2ucp

If you've a laptop with an upside down webcam, after this the image should hopefully be the right way up in
cheese and most other apps. For skype use:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

If the image is not the right way up, then your laptop needs to be added to libv4l's upside down devices list, in that case
please do:
lsusb > lsusb.log
dmidecode > dmi.log

And mail me the 2 log files, it is important to use redirects (">") and to not copy paste as the dmi.log file can contain
lines with trailing whitespace which I need.

If you're interesting in testing the new whitebalance or gamma correction code, see my previous blog post.

Enjoy!
