> ----- changes in 1.1.2a46 -----
> 
> The new serial number scheme is in place for all drivers (USB Webcam, 
> FireWire Webcam, FireWire Industrial) so that new purchases will have 
> a new (1.2) serial number.
> 
> Old serial numbers are now properly recognized and supported until we 
> have an automatic upgrade system in place. (Fixed a bug in a46)

> ----- changes in 1.1.2a45 -----

> I think we have the new serial number scheme is in place and new 
> purchase with get a new (1.2) serial number -- this release should 
> work with a 1.1 serial number and 1.2 serial numbers should work with 
> any previous driver.
> 
> I also may have fixed a crash where QuickTime was crashing if fed a 
> 0-length MJPEG buffer.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a44 -----
> 
> Bump expiration date, fix web page.

> <http://www.ioxperts.com/products/webcamx_1.2.html>
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a43 -----
> 
> This release is mostly to bump the expiration date before 1.1.2a42 expires
> 
> I'm still working on the purchase and registration code, but made a 
> number of improvements to the logging code so that it won't log 
> anything (and fill up your hard drive) if you leave an expired demo 
> running after the 30 minute limit.
> 
> Also, this version is built with Xcode 2.5 (rather than 2.4.1) so 
> that I can debug on both Tiger and Leopard.
> 
> As always, please report any problems.
> 
> Also, we've added updated compatibility notes on our website for 
> Leopard and various previous operating system 
> <http://www.ioxperts.com/leopard.html> -- please let me know if you 
> see anything incorrect.
> 
> (We're still cleaning up the pages, but figured is was better to have 
> something close to correct posted rather than waiting longer)

> Happy New Year,

> ----- changes in 1.1.2a42 -----
> 
> This is also primarily a regression test release as I've been 
> cleaning up the purchase and registration code in preparation for 
> doing a paid update.
> 
> (If you're currently testing a demo version and are about to purchase 
> a copy, please contact me off list as I could use some help verifying 
> the process once it's ready)
> 
> Also, I bumped the demo expiration date to 12/31 as the current betas 
> expire in in 3 days on 12/15. Please speak up if there are any 
> problems so they can be fixed before that happens.
> 
> Known issues:
> 
>    1) Installing over 1.1.2a38 or later will give "no cameras" -- 
> reboot and reinstall to work-around (2nd install will work).
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a41 -----
> 
> 
> This is primarily a regression test and should be functionally 
> identical to 1.1.2a39 except that I've done a major cleanup of the 
> core logging code to allow better debugging of application 
> initialization and IPC.
> 
> I'd appreciate it if you could verify that no new bugs are introduced 
> relative to a39 while I add code that takes advantage to the new 
> functionaity.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a39 -----
> 
> Fixed a crash in the logging version of the driver for the divio 
> chipset (passing a class instead of POD type to printf())
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a38 -----
> 
> Change ioxdeviced from StartupItem to launch-on-demand launchd daemon.
> 
> This fixes the problem with ioxdeviced quitting, resulting in no 
> cameras being visible -- it also has a bit more logging in case there 
> is still a problem.
> 
> My suspicion is that the daemon was being loaded to soon and either 
> getting in contention with one of the Apple drivers for the hardware 
> or running before something was ready.
> 
> Under Mac OS 10.4 and later, it is now registered with launchd and 
> loaded only when the video digitizer is accessed by QuickTime, which 
> will be much later.
> 
> It will also be relaunched automatically if it falls over.
> 
> One thing I did notice is that there may be an installer problem if 
> you install 1.1.2a38 over itself -- in this case no cameras will 
> appear in Camera Identifier. Please let me know if you see this 
> problem, but you can work around it by rebooting and installing again.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a35,36,37 -----
> 
> bump expiration date.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a34 -----
> 
> This is functionally equivalent to a33, except that I've updated to 
> the latest eSellerate SDK and added support for a few new Logitech 
> cameras.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a34 -----
> 
> Update to latest eSellerate SDK
> 
> Support for new Logitech cameras
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a33 -----
> 
> Changes to Isochronous bandwidth allocation code and Isoc stream 
> startup code to prevent stream from restarting when stopping
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a29 -----
> 
> Fix to correct Gamma on newer Logitech cameras
> 
> Possible fix (and additional logging to detect) the Skype crash
> 
> Prefer YUY2 over MJPEG in UVC video mode selection
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a28 -----
> 
> 1.1.2a28 extends the expiration date and includes a few minor 
> performance improvements.
> 
> I've also added some additional logging to try and isolate the 
> problem with the Philips SPC900NC not being detected after restart.
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a27 -----
> 
> Enabled Intel support for VLSI Vision CPiA-based Cameras
> 
> Use physically contiguous Isoch buffers on CPiA and Philips-based cameras.
> 
> Allow Isoch pipe reset when stopping stream -- should speed start/stop
> 
> ----- changes in 1.1.2a26 -----
> 
> Added Intel support for cameras based on the Divio NW801 and NW802 chipsets.
> 
> Also fixed a few byte swapping errors in common code that may have 
> caused a few isolated problems.
> 
> ----- 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.
