So, what’s new since the last blog entry on an Aravis release ?

Mostly bug fixes, but also some new features. The video stream code has been vastly improved and should be more robust now, with a better packet resend mechanism. I’m still not completely happy about this part, as when using my Ace camera on a low quality network (i.e. wifi), after some time aravis lost the connection to the camera.

I’v renamed arv-show-devices to arv-tool, and then added the capability to read/write and list the device features. It’s really helpful for testing Aravis.

The color support is also improved, and now the gstreamer plugin supports caps filtering, which makes it more consistent with the behaviour of other gstreamer plugins.

Finally, the library is parallel installable, which means I should release a stable version of aravis soon.
