14 DAY TRIAL // Cheese, a Photobooth-inspired GNOME application for taking pictures and videos from a webcam that also includes graphical effects based on the gstreamer backend, has reached version 3.14 Beta 1.
Cheese can be used to take photos and videos and it's based on GNOME 3.0, GStreamer, Clutter, and GNOME Video Effects. This latest development arrives with a handful of new features and various other changes and improvements.
According to the changelog, a simple service client example has been added, a basic camera D-Bus service has been added, new metadata_license is now used in the AppData description, config.h is now used instead of cheese-config.h, and a standard filename is now used for the generated configuration header.
Also, GtkIconTheme built-in RTL support is now provided, the thumbview popup menu has been moved to the GtkBuilder file, and the thumb view popup menu handling has been improved.
A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Cheese 3.14 Beta 1 right now from Softpedia. This is just the source package, so you will need to wait until it reaches the repos in its final form, or you can try to compile it right now.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
