holidays on gran canaria was a great thing, well ehm.. i was not doing
holiday, just ehm yeah you know.. thanks again for this awesome week!
filippo was instead hacking on cheese at home, and if you see the
enourmous list, well, this would be a great moment to thank him for his
awesome work!
what is it?
===========
Take photos and videos with your webcam, with fun graphical effects
what's changed in 2.27.4?
=========================
- bump gtk+ requirement to 2.17.3
- ensure the drawing area has a native X11 window
With the new client-side-window gtk+ widgets do not always have a
native window anymore. We need an XID to give to GstXOverlay and embed
video into the application. This temporarily works around the issue
forcing a native window. Works around bug 588357
- use the camera-web icon instead of camera-video
we are using camera-web in the project logo/icon but camera-video for the
UI. it is more appropriate to use the camera-web icon as it's a) less
likely people will use camcorders with cheese b) there is bigger visual
distinction between camera-photo and camera-web than camera-photo and
camera-video.
- manually expose the window if not PLAYING
Draw a black background if the pipeline is starting up and the overlay
is still not ready to expose the drawing area.
- fix broken xoverlay management
For some reason this went unnoticed for a long time. We were calling
set_x_overlay right after setting PLAYING state (with no warranty that
the state change succeeded nor that an overlay was really there). The
only right way to do this is to wait for prepare-xwindow-id message. It
worked until now just because we've been extremely lucky.
- drop url and email handlers
Drop url and email handlers used in the about dialog since gtk+ 2.17.2
already provides that functionality built in.
- drop GEditMessageArea in favor of GtkInfoBar
Drop GEditMessageArea since it recently entered gtk+. Fixes bug #586545
- use AM_SILENT_RULES if available, fixes bug #587581
- Use accessor functions instead direct access, fixes bug #585210
- remove markup from translatable strings
- keybindings: add configure checks for needed X11 stuff
Check for XF86keysym.h availability and add a configure option to
disable Webcam Button listening. Copied from rhythmbox.
- add little program to emit fake webcam button events
- capture webcam buttons
Listen to XF86Webcam keypresses to capture webcam buttons. Should
work with every driver that correctly binds the input device to
KEY_CAMERA events. Fixes bug #521551
- remove padding from the take_picture button
Use alignment xscale property instead of padding in the take_picture
button. Doesn't fix but at least partly works around bug #573301 (the
button can now grow up and fill the whole free space with no padding
constraint).
- sanitize main toolbar structure
No real change, just some little restructuring of the glade toolbar
definition to make it easier to hack on.
