As mentioned in the release notes, 1.1.2b8 has basic support for 
FireWire cameras on Intel (all of the FireWire webcams are aupported).

Over the weekend, I've fixed the stuck video problem and have support 
for Format 7 working -- at least on a Basler a620fc (which is a very 
well-behaved camera).

I'm planning on doing another release (probably later today) as soon 
as I get a byte-swapping issue with 24-bit rgb fixed. If anyone is 
using an industrial camera which uses Format 7 and wants a private 
snapshot to test while I'm doing final cleanup, let me know.
