-- 2.0.0: THE release, ready for distribution. Documentation is still

   missing, but will eventually be completed.

-- (various RCs): many interface changes

-- 2.0.0-rc6:

   Yes, more changes. We are waiting for one last big change before the

   release of 2.0.0 so this may be the last RC.

-- 2.0.0-rc5:

   More interface changes, PIO support, cleanup and fixes.

-- 2.0.0-rc4:

   Intermediate release that includes a.o. the new capture API, better

   support for AVT cameras, conversion functions that work on the new

   video buffer struct, etc...

-- 2.0.0-rc3:

   The major addition of this version is the compatibility with Mac OSX

   (Yeah!) There's a bunch of fixes and additions here and there too.

-- 2.0.0-rc2:

   Fixed serious problems in the camera detection

-- 2.0.0-rc1:

   This is the first RC release. Enjoy or send bug reports to the list.

-- 2.0.0-pre7:

   Many significant changes.

-- 2.0.0-pre6:

   Don't package anything before a final release (or at least a release

   candidate), _please_. These PRE versions have an API that will change

   and are not suitable for packages. This should be the last PRE release.

   If there is no problem with it we will switch to release candidates (RC)

   soon.

-- 2.0.0-pre5:

   The development continues... Besides bug fixes, the most notable

   improvement is the capture structure that is now hidden in the camera

   struct.

-- 2.0.0-pre4:

   bug fixes

-- 2.0.0-pre3:

   This release appears to be fully functional. It can be used but has not

   been extensively tested.

-- 2.0.0-pre2:

   Same warning as pre1

-- 2.0.0-pre1:

   A lot of changes, see the changelog for more details. This version breaks

   almost all compatibility with the main trunk. Known not to work properly.

   You have been warned ;-) This is just a CVS snapshot of the Version_2_0

   branch.

(Older news about versions 0.x and 1.x of the library can be found in the

respective 0.x and 1.x packages)
