Code monkey
Pushed out a new release of r5u870 last night. Woohoo! Few cool changes in this release:
- Includes
recode-fw.scm. Very useful tool to extract the firmware blobs from your device driver, if your device isn’t supported. Instructions on how to use are on the wiki. - Giant code merge from new modular usbcam library, posted by Sam to LKML back in May 2007.
- Support for the 05ca 183b, 05ca 1837 and 05ca 1839 UVC cameras! Sweetness! The HP Pavilion’s 1812 camera is currently experimental, though, I’d love folks to give it a go.
- Updated ChangeLog entries! What, you mean I wasted half an hour of my life?!
If you notice any bugs, don’t be afraid to email me (check the wiki for FAQs first, though). For those who already emailed me about stuff from previous releases, please upgrade, give it a go, and then email me back your status. I haven’t forgotten, I’ve just been very busy.
In other news, I’ve also managed to get the equalizer code for Banshee merged into trunk, so I’m pretty stoked about that. Style changes and all that have been sorted. Works lovely with both the older-gen equalizer element, and the current one in CVS. The element is currently in gst-plugins-bad, though, it’s moving to -good before the next release.
The new Banshee’s going to be sweet, I tell you!
Also managed to code up a pretty cool IRC log search script for Bongo. You can check (Jonny: not Czech 
it out here. Looks a bit ugly, yes, but it sure does the job damn fine.
Well, I think that’s enough for now. Microsoft are at our LUG meeting this afternoon for a Q&A session. Hopefully we get some nice flames going, though, the committee has asked us not to. Though, cmon, we’re a loud bunch - someone can’t resist, I’m sure!
Gah, and I have to pack tomorrow, too. I hate packing.
