We've just posted a new beta (1.1b24) of the IOXperts Webcam Driver
for Mac OSX.
This is a single driver replacing our USB and FireWire webcam drivers.
As of version 1.1, we will also be offering 2 levels of functionality
-- a full-featured driver offered by IOXperts and a basic "LE"
version that is bundled with cameras.
We are still working out the final feature set and pricing for the LE
version, but:
Anyone who has purchased a driver directly from IOXperts will receive
a free update to the full IOXperts Webcam Driver.
Anyone who received an IOXperts driver bundled with their camera will
receive a free update to IOXperts Webcam Driver 1.1 LE.
During the 1.1 beta period, LE customers may upgrade to the full
version for the reduced price of $9.95.
We are not currently aware of any compatibility problems with Mac OS
X 10.3 (Jaguar), but there will be a free update of both the full and
LE drivers if needed.
There are a couple big changes that my affect application
compatibility and we'd like to ask video application developers to
please verify that we work properly with their applications.
This is also a last chance for minor feature requests.
Of particular interest to developers are:
* Many changes to support grabbing cropped images correctly
If your application calls SGSetVideoRect() or VDSetDigitizerRect(),
please verify that we got it rignt
* Support for software Pan/Tilt/Zoom
contact us if you'd like to control these from your application
* IOXperts Camera Control
an external application for changing video settings behind the
application's back -- this lets the user adjust video settings
in applications which do not let the user access the standard
video settings dialog (iChat AV, Yahoo Instant Messenger, etc.)
* Support for new cameras
see below.

Also, I want to apologize for the rough conversion to the new list server.
The new mailman-based server is up and running, but it looks like we
lost a bunch of people in the conversion.
After this message goes to the list I am going to send out a notice
to the old list in hopes of picking up the missing members -- sorry
for any inconvenience.
Thanks for your support,
-Steve

Summary of 1.1 features:
* Separate retail and OEM versions:
We now have two versions of the IOXperts Webcam Driver, IOXperts

* People who have purchased the retail driver, will continue to get
all of the retail driver features.

pan and tilt to follow a face.
