This release expires March 4, 2007

Added Intel support for cameras based on the Divio NW801 and NW802 chipsets.

(The cameras where you have to tell the driver which type of camera you have)

This includes:

   Scalar Microscopes
   iRez Kritter
   AME CU-98, CU-98A

... and a bunch more.

(I need to look up the entire list, but wanted to get the build up)

Also fixed a few byte swapping errors in common code that may have 
caused a few isolated problems.

Enjoy,

-Steve

----- changes in 1.1.2a21 -----

If you're having problems with crashes in Skype, this build _may_ help.

The primary change is that it holds off on some initialization of the 
video pipeline until the as late as possible -- this may provide a 
slight performance increase as well.

Hopefully there will be a matching Skype update to address the 
threading issues we've been seeing.

The cause of the registration dialog popping up multiple times in 
Skype is that Skype is opening and closing the digitizer multiple 
times at startup -- this is not a problem, but somewhat annoying -- 
I'm looking at a fix to make the dialog appear only once per 
application launch.

----- changes in 1.1.2a20 -----

1.1.2a20 adds support for Face Tracking on Intel-based machines.

In the process, we've done major work on the software pan/tilt/zoom 
code which should result in improved performance, but should be 
tested thoroughly for compatibility as there are significant 
differences in the math.

----- changes in 1.1.2a18 -----

This is primarily to bump the expiration date as 1.1.2a17 expired 
today, but we may have fixed a problem in the camera registration 
code that could cause a camera to not be recognized under certain 
circumstances.

For anyone who has one of the newer Logitech cameras and is having 
problems with the audio, drop me a note off-list -- we have an audio 
driver that works aroud the bug in the camera about ready for testing.

----- changes in 1.1.2a17 -----

This should fix the problems a few of you reported with the QuickCam 
Pro 5000, Fusion, and (Black) QuickCam for Notebooks Pro.

The issue was that the firmware in those cameras returns incorrect 
data for some of the controls related to the snapshot function, and 
the driver caught and reported the error, unfortunately causing it to 
fail on load with those cameras.

I've added code in the driver to work around the bug -- please 
versify that the problem is fixed and that the fix didn't cause 
issues with any other cameras.

There is still a known issue that the snapshot button on the new 
Logitech cameras in not working -- I was hoping to get it fixed, but 
didn't want to hold up getting something out with the previous 
version expired.

---------

As always, please post any problems to the list.
