Fix assertion failures when taking a photo Before this patch, Cheese would log the following each time the user takes a photo:

· 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.
· This fixes the problem, and also makes the combo insensitive again when going from >= 2 devices to

What's new in Cheese 3.9.1:

April 30th, 2013

· Fix UI string in avatar chooser test
· Use AM_VALAFLAGS rather than VALAFLAGS
· Avoid Vala warning about copying delegates Mark the variable in which CountdownCallback is stored as unowned, as it is simply a pointer to the callback.
· Use "autocluttersink" instead of "cluttersink"
· Use clutter_actor_set_background_color Instead of the deprecated cltuter_stage_set_color, use clutter_actor_set_background_color.
· Use clutter_actor_add_child Instead of using the deprecated clutter_container_add_actor, use clutter_actor_add_child.
· Avoid deprecated clutter_actor_animate Use implicit animation instead.
· Avoid deprecated clutter_table_layout_set_expand Use the "expand-x" and "expand-y" properties on ClutterActor instead (which are both set to false by default).
· Use ClutterActor rather than ClutterRectangle
· User ClutterActor rather than ClutterBox ClutterBox is deprecated.
· Bump required versions of Clutter and GIO GIO 2.32 or above is required for GMenu support and Clutter 1.12 is required to make use of new API to avoid deprecation warnings when using Clutter 1.12 or above.
· Avoid Vala compiler warning about implicit begin
· Fix cheese_thumb_view_new() prototype
· Remove some unnecessary "static" keywords This avoids some warnings from the Vala compiler.
· Update burst mode help page Improve the wording, add more details about the preference dialog.
· Update the gschema to use "photo" and "image" Use "photo" and "image" instead of "picture" so that the schema descriptions are more consistent and precise.
· Improve "Fire Flash" string in the Preferences Change "Fire Flash" to "Fire flash" because it is not a title, so should not use header capitalisation.
· Fix typos in help

What's new in Cheese 3.8.1:

April 16th, 2013

· Mark author emails as not translatable. Correct "version" to "pkgversion" in revision tags. Update instructions for app menu and new preference dialog tabs. Stub mode-wide.page because the instructions are wrong.
· Replace GtkBox casts with GtkGrid casts This manifested as the "Leave Fullscreen" button not being displayed when switching into fullscreen mode. Fixes bug 691454.
· cheese-camera: Fix creation of effects previews Since many previews are created, with many cluttersinks, we can't name the cluttersinks all the same. Passing NULL as the name of the element will let gstreamer choose the name.
· libcheese: Fix deprecated clutter sink creation Create cluttersink with element_factory_make.
· Depend on valac 0.18 for gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-1.0 vala bindings is only available on valac-0.18.

What's new in Cheese 3.7.90:

February 19th, 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)

What's new in Cheese 3.7.4:

January 15th, 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.
· Post-release bump to version 3.7.4

What's new in Cheese 3.7.3:

December 18th, 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.

· https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689117

What's new in Cheese 3.6.2:

November 13th, 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.

· 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

· 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
· g_object_class_install_properties(). Added properties static array to
· hold properties. Added enum constants identifying properties and
· 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

· Use the as operator when fetching widgets from GtkBuilder files, to do a
· runtime type-check.
· Include the version in the man page
· Add generated man page to CLEANFILES
· Fix a typo so that the man page is generated
· Fix gtk-doc checks when srcdir != builddir
· Add man page, generated with xsltproc

· 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

· Add basic documentation for CheeseCamera, CheeseFileUtil and CheeseFlash
· classes. Split the API reference into libcheese and libcheese-gtk
· chapters.

· Added CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor::removed signal callback function in
· CheeseCamera. Fixes bug 662852.
· Improved CheeseCameraDeviceMonitor::added signal

· 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: fixed typo in Makefile.am
· help: updated Makefile.am
· Overhaul the libcheese documentation
· Add documentation for CheeseCameraDevice. Remove bogus XML included in
· the library overview. Add section documentation to all classes, and mark

· 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

What's new in Cheese 3.0.2:

July 29th, 2011

· Update about dialog credits.
· Printing debug of error messages.
· thumb-view: start monitoring for photos and videos at startup.
· cheese-camera: make effect previews scale with the cheese window
· Before this patch, when you scaled Cheese's main window, in the the effects preview mode, the window would scale but the 9 videos inside the window would remain at the same size.
· 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.

· lib: no need to declare variable to return photo/video paths.
· lib: add some missing introspection annotations in cheese-camera.

What's new in Cheese 2.91.93:

March 29th, 2011

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

What's new in Cheese 2.91.91.1:

March 13th, 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

What's new in Cheese 2.91.91:

March 10th, 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.

What's new in Cheese 2.91.4:

February 1st, 2011

· bump LT_VERSION numbers for libcheese and libcheese-gtk
· Splitting dependencies of libcheese and libcheese-gtk
· Spliting dependencies of libcheese and libcheese-gtk and linking
· 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
