> (If you're currently testing a demo version and are about to

> Also, I bumped the demo expiration date to 12/31 as the current

> Known issues:
>
>   1) Installing over 1.1.2a38 or later will give "no cameras" --  
> reboot and reinstall to work-around (2nd install will work).

> This is primarily a regression test and should be functionally

> core logging code to allow better debugging of application  
> initialization and IPC.

> ----- 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.

> As always, please post any problems to the list.
