New in Cheese 3.28.0 (Mar 14, 2018)

  • Add new device monitor methods to documentation

  • camera: don't use hardcoded format. Use gst_caps_fixate() to select the best format instead of trying to filter out a hardcoded format. Some cameras might not produce this format and thus fail to work.

  • Added/Updated Translations:
  • hr, courtesy of gogo

New in Cheese 3.21.3 (Jun 23, 2016)

  • Ensure autogen works in non-srcdir builds. Only the configure script should be run from the build directory; the rest of the ancillary tools that modify the sources and generate the configure script itself need to be run inside the source directory.
  • Use AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is for users and packagers to override distcheck options, while AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is for the maintainer of the software.

New in Cheese 3.20.2 (May 23, 2016)

  • Set a minimum effect actor size. This allows the effects previews to expand with the size of the window.

  • libcheese: Fix warning on exit https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754556
  • Support a default CheeseCamera device. Accept a name, stash it inside the camera and then search through all the devices present on the system when setting up the camera. If a match is found, use it, otherwise continue to setup the first device.
  • Avoid crash when creating the default CheeseWidget. Update the device argument to cheese_camera_new() to reflect the new use of GstDeviceMonitor, by renaming the device_node argument to name. Emit a critical warning if passing a name, as creating a device by name is not yet supported. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754506

New in Cheese 3.16.0 Beta 1 (Feb 17, 2015)

  • Avoid a preprocessor warning
  • Fix const cast warnings
  • Fix signedness comparison error
  • Fix shadowed variable
  • Remove old-style function definitions
  • Fix signed comparison warning in camera service

  • Drop use of gnome-autogen.sh https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeCommon/Migration

New in Cheese 3.15.4 (Jan 20, 2015)

  • Ignore intermediate file with Automake 1.15
  • Removed obsolete variables in autogen.sh
  • um-crop-area: Fix deprecated API usage https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742530
  • um-crop-area: Enforce a minimum size. Otherwise, if callers aren't careful, users could resize us so small that we'd crash inside gdk_pixbuf_scale() . https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742530
  • um-crop-area: Fix background rendering around the picture. Instead of trying to fill the displayed pixbuf with the background color (and failing at that), just make the pixbuf be an aspect correct scaled size of the original picture and draw it at the correct offset on the draw vfunc. This allows us to get rid of deprecated gtk+ API usage and fixes the background around the picture ending up black despite de code's intent. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742530

New in Cheese 3.15.2 (Nov 24, 2014)

  • Fix Nepali desktop file keywords translation

  • Limit default size for avatar cropping Commit c605ad3578ff66452bd7b01d257f31c64e7905ef enlarged default size for cropping avatars thus crop rectangle could be easily bigger then image. The crop rectagle can't be modified and cc_crop_area_get_picture causes errors if the rectangle is bigger, because it has negative coordinates. Limit the default size to fit the image also. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739870

  • Substitute bindir and libexecdir in Makefile.am Rather than substituting the values of libexecdir and bindir during configure, which might include some unexpanded shell variables, expand and substitute them as targets in Makefile.am instead. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726095
  • Use AC_PROG_SED in configure.ac
  • Bump required Vala version for get_menu_by_id(). Used to get the given menu from GtkApplication.

  • Use _get_instance_private() consistently in camera Use the new cheese_camera_get_instance_private() instead of the old macro.
  • Bump required Vala version for get_menu_by_id() Use the get the given menu from GtkApplication.
  • Refactor setup_camera() in CheeseWidget Remove superfluous prototype. Use GSettings convenience getters. Reduce scope of some variables.
  • Avoid using G_GNUC_CONST on _get_type() As the g_type_ensure() documentation notes, it is incorrect to mark a _get_type() method with G_GNUC_CONST, as it as a side effect the first time it is called.

New in Cheese 3.14.1 (Oct 14, 2014)

  • Use LT_LIB_M to find the math library
  • libcheese-gtk needs to link with -lm to find the fmod function.

New in Cheese 3.13.4 (Jul 29, 2014)

  • Track flash opacity explicitly Retrieving the opacity of the flash, reducing it by an exponentially small step, and setting it again does not always actually decrease the widget's opacity, and so the fading does not actually terminate.

  • Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede
  • Improve cheese_camera_device_get_best_format() If a camera device which can do 1600x900 at 10 FPS and 1280x800 @ 25 FPS, then 1600x900 is not really the best format, as 10 FPS leads to a bad user experience.
  • Improve the situation by constraining cheese_camera_device_get_best_format() to return the format with the highest resolution with a width greater than 640 pixels and a framerate of greater the 15 FPS.
  • If no mode matching the widh >= 640 && frame_rate >= 15 criteria is found, get_best_format will behave as before as simply return the highest resolution mode.
  • Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede
  • Limit caps to the maximum framerate Limit the caps returned by cheese_camera_device_get_caps_for_format() to the maximum framerate supported at the requested resolution. This is necessary because GStreamer first selects a format and then a framerate, resulting in it picking for 1280x720 as an example, YUYV @ 15 FPS, instead of MJPEG @ 30 FPS (which will be converted to i420 by the videoconvert element in camerabin2), or at 1600x1200 YUYV @ 5 fps instead of MJPEG @ 10 fps.

  • Move gettext initialization to main() Ensure that gettext is always initialized, regardless of whether the running instance is the primary instance.
  • Make actions insensitive when no webcam is present Set the "effects", "mode" and "shoot" actions insensitive when no camera devices are found on startup. Fixes bug 693070.
  • Remove TODO
  • Add touch event handler for selecting effects Use a ClutterTapAction on each effect to allow either a mouse click or a touch tap to select effects. Depend on Clutter 1.13.2 for ClutterTapAction. Fixes bug 692745.
  • Updated POTFILES.in and POTFILES.skip
  • Move action sensitivity handling to Application
  • Remove unnecessary instance_pos attribute The instance_pos attribute is only used in Cheese when connecting signals from actions to handlers with GtkBuilder.
  • Do not show thumbnails in fullscreen This can happen when toggling the wide mode action while fullscreen mode is active. Also remove the unnecessary resize calls.
  • Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede
  • Remove unused move_all_to_trash action
  • Remove wide-mode and fullscreen GSettings keys Both wide mode and fullscreen mode can be set with toggle actions, and there is little reason for the state to persist across application restart.
  • Mark cheese_[gtk_]init() arguments as allow-none It is reasonable to pass NULL for argc and argv.
  • Refactor command-line argument handling Only handle Cheese options on the command line; handle library options with environment variables instead. Use actions from the command-line parser to switch to wide mode and fullscreen mode.
  • Refactor Application startup Override default handlers rather than connecting to signals. Add startup() and use it to initialize cheese-gtk and gettext.
  • Split main() and Application into separate files
  • um-crop-area.c: Relicense to GPLv2+ This makes the file fit in better with the rest of Cheese, license-wise.
  • https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703239
  • Remove stale help translations Many translations have not been updated since the switch to Mallard help, so remove them from HELP_LINGUAS to make the distribution smaller and speed up building.
  • Handle NULL state errors in CheeseAvatarChooser Fixes remainder of bug 703123.
  • Show an error message if the camera state is NULL If there is a GST_MESSAGE_ERROR, stop the stream and emit ::state-flags-changed on the CheeseCamera. Handle the state change in CheeseWindow by showing a generic error message. This message can easily occur if the video device is busy, such as when another application is using the webcam.
  • Fixes bug 703123.
  • Add CheeseWindow.show_error() method Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede
  • Fix being paused when effect valves are closed The move to autocluttersink in 3.9 causes a regression compared to 3.8, where if an effect's control valve is closed the pipeline will never transition from paused to playing since the cluttersink is stuck in paused.
  • This regression can be triggered the following way: 1) Go the effect selector 2) Go to the next page in the effect selector, so that the now connected effects from the first page get their control valve set to closed 3) Change resolution or device, so that the pipeline gets stopped and started again
  • After 3) the pipeline will be stuck in pause, as the cluttersinks of the effect previews are stuck in pause.
  • The cause for this is that with the move to autocluttersink we are no longer setting the sink's "async" property, see commit 424afdaa 'Use "autocluttersink" instead of "cluttersink"'.
  • Setting the "async" property is no longer (easily) doable, since autocluttersink is a gstbin derived object which has the actual sink embedded.
  • Instead this patch fixes the stuck in pause problem by locking the autocluttersinks of the effect previews into the playing state.
  • Note that no longer setting of the async property on the sink is also the root cause of the issue fixed by my patch titled: "Set all valves open on play". The opening of the main valve is still necessary, since locking the viewfinder sink's state to PLAYING does not seem a good idea, the opening of the effects-valve on play OTOH is no longer necessary.

  • Use shoot action when handling the webcam button Rather then calling on_shoot directly, call the action, so that if shoot is disabled, it also cannot be triggered through the webcam button.
  • Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede
  • Set all valves open on play If some valves are closed on play, GStreamer will wait for the valves to open before moving from paused to playing, and a frozen image is shown.
  • This does not happen on startup since on startup all valves are open, nor does it happen when changing video-format directly after startup, since all valves will still be open. As soon as cheese_camera_toggle_effects_pipeline() has been called once, any subsequent attempt to change the video format (and thus stopping and re-starting the pipeline) will result in a frozen image.
  • This patch fixes this by opening all valves on play, and calling cheese_camera_toggle_effects_pipeline() with the last active value after the pipeline transitions to the playing state.
  • This has the added advantage that unlike before the effects valve will be closed on startup, rather then staying open till the first call to cheese_camera_toggle_effects_pipeline().

  • (cheese:21719): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
  • Fix updating sensitivity of device selection combo If Cheese was started with 1 device, and then a second was added, the device selection stayed insensitive, making it impossible to select the second device.

New in Cheese 3.7.90 (Feb 19, 2013)

  • Change schema path to standard format, bug 673965
  • Remove libgee dependency from configure.ac. (Cheese no longer depends on libgee. Avoid using libgee Rather than port to libgee 0.8, drop use of it entirely)

New in Cheese 3.7.4 (Jan 15, 2013)

  • Eliminate an instance-used-via-static warning
  • Avoid deprecated GFile attribute syntax Bump Vala requirement to 0.16.0.
  • Update photo-take help page Update language and add instructions for capturing photo using a capture button on a webcam (bug 690961)
  • Shoot when the webcam capture button is pressed This functionality existed is Cheese 2.32 (it was added in commit de0114556cef148c396552d1c189b476ea0c8aab) but was lost in 3.0. Add it back to fix bug 690961.

New in Cheese 3.7.3 (Dec 18, 2012)

  • Return to the video view after selecting an effect. Fixes bug 687879.
  • More g_thread_init() removal. Add --target-glib 2.32 to the VALAFLAGS so that we don't get g_thread_init() in the generated .c code.
  • Drop calls to g_thread_init() in tests. Our dependency on Gtk 3.4 already gives us an indirect dependency on a GLib that no longer requires these calls.
  • We got away with this for a while due to gstreamer's public dependency on libgthread, but as of bug 689043 gstreamer no longer does this so we now get link errors.

New in Cheese 3.6.2 (Nov 13, 2012)

  • Handle thumbnail directory creation, bug 671614
  • Return NULL rather than a const empty string
  • Fix bug 687042 and bug 687123 by returning NULL from cheese_camera_get_recorded_time() rather than a const empty string. The returned NULL can be safely freed with g_free(), whereas freeing the const string is undefined and leads to a crash with glibc.

  • 664048.
  • Use private GObject pointer in Widget and Chooser
  • Additionally, remove some dead code.
  • Add gtk-doc comments to UmCropArea
  • Currently, UmCropArea is internal (and will likely stay that way), so
  • the comments are not included in the generated documentation.
  • Use switch statement to select cases
  • Use better API to notify and install properties
  • Changed g_object_notify_by_pspec() to g_object_notify() and
  • g_object_class_install_property() to

  • sentinels for array length definitions. Fixes bug 663098.
  • Improve CheeseAvatarChooser documentation
  • Add documentation for private methods in CheeseAvatarChooser.
  • Improve CheeseEffect documentation
  • Document the private methods in CheeseEffect. Simplify effect
  • construction, by making the name and pipeline-desc properties
  • construct-only. Improve some variables names.
  • Improve CheeseFileUtil filename handling
  • Use GDateTime to format the time string. Use switch statements when
  • selecting cases from an enum. Use g_build_filename() rather than
  • g_strjoin(G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, ...).
  • Improve CheeseCamera documentation
  • Document most of the private methods in CheeseCamera, and rename the

  • Also use the countdown duration for burst mode
  • Add a countdown-duration key to GSettings schema

  • Required for Clutter.TableLayout in clutter-1.0.vapi, which was added
  • when Vala switched to use GIR files.
  • Use STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER
  • Use Vala ‘as’ operator where possible

  • Add the deprecated API index to the documentation. Complete the rename
  • of cheese_camera_set_device_by_dev_file() to
  • cheese_camera_set_device_by_device_node(). Add missing documentation to
  • reach 100% symbol coverage.
  • Enable gtk-doc tests during make check
  • Check for GStreamer plugins required at runtime
  • Add a GStreamer plugin check to configure.ac, which checks for
  • individual plugins with gst-inspect, rather than relying on the plugins
  • being provided by checking for GStreamer pkg-config files. The check is
  • non-fatal, as the plugins are not build-time dependencies.
  • Bump pkg-config requirement to 0.24
  • Version 0.24 or greater of pkg-config is required in order to avoid the
  • duplicate AC_SUBST macro calls for PKG_CHECK_MODULES substitutions.
  • Remove unused FULL_LIBEXECDIR from configure.ac
  • Add private pointers to libcheese GObject structs
  • Speed up access to the private struct of the GObject by adding a
  • pointer, so that *_GET_PRIVATE does not have to called each time. Create
  • a typedef for the private structures in the headers, and hide the
  • structs from the documentation by placing them inside a private
  • subsection.
  • Add basic documentation for remaining public API
  • Add cheese-widget-private.h back to files ignored by gtk-doc. Add basic
  • documentation for the remainder of the public API. Use UUID instead of

  • Additionally, enable silent Automake rules by default so that warnings are
  • more visible.
  • Add more classes to gtk-doc documentation
  • Add basic documentation for CheeseCamera, CheeseFileUtil and CheeseFlash
  • classes. Split the API reference into libcheese and libcheese-gtk
  • chapters.
  • Add CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor::removed callback
  • Added CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor::removed signal callback function in
  • CheeseCamera. Fixes bug 662852.
  • Improved CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor::added signal
  • CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor:added has now a CheeseCameraDevice argument.
  • CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor is also now a member of CheeseCamera.
  • Add a long description to the DOAP file
  • help: fixed another typo
  • help: moving introduction page back to .page

  • help: renamed pages and rearranged sections
  • Moved all pages, except introduction.page, into sections to make index
  • look nicer.
  • Use license-type in the about dialog
  • Connect thumbnail nav button signals
  • The thumb nav widget crashed when clicking the buttons to scroll the
  • thumbnail view. This was caused by connecting to the wrong signals:
  • ‘button-pressed-event’ and ‘button-released-event’, rather than
  • ‘pressed’ and ‘released’. There was also some duplicate code for
  • creating the left button, which led to a GtkButton being leaked when
  • the thumb nav was created. Fixes bug 660686.
  • Remove obsolete MAINTAINERS file
  • http://live.gnome.org/Git/FAQ#How_do_I_add_a_description_to_the_git_web_view.3F__What_is_this_.22blah.doap.22.3F
  • Remove obsolote cicl script
  • Increase the photo count in burst mode to 100000
  • Fixes bug 659977
  • Use an idle handler to generate thumbnails
  • A thread was used for generating thumbnails for CheeseThumbView, but
  • this had problems with concurrent access to the GtkListStore which
  • backs the thumb view, as in bug 648936. A simpler approach is to use an
  • idle handler, which avoids the need for acquiring the GDK lock.
  • Restore gudev checks during configure

  • add gio-2.0 and x11 to PKG_CHECK_MODULES
  • cheese-gtk.pc: Updating 'requires private' to gtk3 versions of packages.
  • window: use the right signature for button-release-event callback
  • The signature is (ClutterActor, ClutterEvent). Using the event source there is wrong, as that's not guaranteed to be the same object emitting the callback (i.e. the object emitting could be just forwarding an event coming from one of its children). Fixes bug #647677
  • libcheese: Don't leak the source element when probing for the caps.
  • cheese-camera: Setting camera to playing after forced stop.
  • cheese-camera: Emit VIDEO_SAVED signal when video is saved.

  • lib: fix leaks and simplify cheese_fileutil_get_new_media_filename.
  • lib: properly prefix photo/video suffix constants in cheese namespace.

  • Cheese widget bug fixes
  • Make Flash widget not cover the GNOME Shell panel
  • Loads of updated translations

New in Cheese 2.91.91.1 (Mar 13, 2011)

  • The tarball release of 2.91.91 was generated with a tarball release of Vala that was affected by bug 642885. This is a point release, that contains a workaround for that bug until a new Vala release (0.11.7) is out.
  • Correct some configure requirements

New in Cheese 2.91.91 (Mar 10, 2011)

  • use camerabin for taking photos and videos
  • Migrated from libunique to GtkApplication
  • Ported to GTK+ 3.x
  • build: Update autotools configuration
  • cheese-camera: Unsetting preview-caps after photo. After taking a photo to pixbuf, we set preview-caps to NULL so regular photo doesn't send the preview message.
  • cheese-camera: Fixing take_photo_pixbuf. Method cheese_camera_take_photo_pixbuf was not working. Now it is implemented using camerabin's features. We set preview-caps in camerabin and get the buffer for the photo via message on the bus. Signals are now only emitted if the capture was successful.
  • cheese-camera: Set video recording options. Set encoding and multiplexing options.
  • svg overlay effects can now be added
  • cheese-camera: Set filter-caps property. Set filter-caps property to avoid camerabin default of video/x-raw-yuv format=(fourcc)I420.
  • cheese-camera: Enabling source color conversion. Setting the flag to enable color conversion on video source. Flags names were also redefined to allow code readability.
  • cheese-camera: Setting resolution in camerabin. Cheese was using a capsfilter after video source to configure the desired resolution for pictures and video. We now use the camerabin signal set-video-resolution-fps to set desired resolution.
  • cheese-camera: Removing height and width defaults. Camerabin has video-capture defaults that can cause not-negotiated errors or set resolution to values that are not the requested by the user. Setting them to zero we allow the resolution to be negotiated.
  • cheese-camera: Creating a separate effects_preview_bin. Create a effects_preview_bin that will hold all elements related to effects live preview. This bin is added to video_filter_bin, the same bin that contained those elements directly before.
  • cheese-camera: Use camerabin as pipeline base. Changed Cheese-Camera to use camerabin as its base. Camerabin implements view-finder, image capture and video recording.
  • Add gobject introspection support to build system
  • configure.ac: Changing required versions. Cheese works with older version of clutter, gtk, gdk and libgnomedesktop.
  • cheese-window: Fix vala syntax problem. Cheese wasn't compiled by latest java because of this array construction. Changing it to a proper array we avoid the compiling problem. Fixes bug #639276.

  • libcheese library with it's dependencies.
  • libcheese: Removing unnecessary includes
  • Removing unnecessary includes of gtk in libcheese modules.
  • Creating pkgconfig file for libcheese and libcheese-gtk
  • Adding test for CheeseCamera
  • cheese-test-camera creates a CheeseCamera and takes a photo that will be
  • saved in testcamera.jpg after five seconds.
  • Creating libcheese, installable non-gtk lib
  • Cheese-flash is now part of libcheese-gtk, since it depends on gtk and
  • we want libcheese to not depend on it. Libcheesecommon is now called
  • simply Libcheese and it's installed, it's the main cheese lib which can
  • be used to set the pipeline, take_photos and record video.
  • remove countdown from libcheese
  • cheese uses the new countdown in src/cheese-countdown.vala
  • which prints the countdown directly on the clutter texture.
  • cheese-test-chooser: Use gtk_clutter_init
  • Cheese test chooser should use gtk_clutter_init instead of gtk_init,
  • since cheese-camera now uses a ClutterTexture to display video.
  • cheese-camera: using const char * when appropriate
  • Filenames and other string parameters used to set properties can be
  • const.
  • cheese-camera: switch_device is now a void method
  • Method cheese_camera_switch_device always returned true. Its return
  • value can be ignored.
  • cheese-camera: Making methods static
  • Some methods are only used inside CheeseCamera, so I removed them from
  • header file and declared them as static.
  • cheese-widget: Fix return type for get_settings
  • remove dbus support from cheese, fixes bug #622915
  • cheese-camera: Check return of linking effect
  • Return if linking effect preview was not successful.
  • cheese-camera: Removing extra colorspace after effect
  • Effects are already created using one colorspace before and one after
  • its pipeline description, so there is no need to add another colorspace
  • after the effect bin.
  • cheese-camera: Handle more bus messages
  • When bus receives error or warning messages, we parse them and print
