hi there!
cheese? yeah, its not only something to eat! this is a under the
bonnet-release, that means, that no new features were added in the ui,
but many things were done below it.

miscellaneous
=============
=> open bugs
* cheese still has problems with some v4l-(only)-devices. if
somebody knows a way round to this, contact me!
=> note to the build system
yes, i can hear it already.. "why didnt you choose autotools?? its a
standard!". yeah, i think we all know about those standards, be it a
build system or a document format. i played with autotools for about two
weeks. two weeks of no coding, no new features, as i was trying to
understand the gnu "auto, my ass" tools. the only thing i find was
problems and things were just harder to do. this changed when i found
the toc2 build system [2]. its really easy to maintain your project with
this thing. now you might say: "hey, but i have to learn how to use it
first! kinda silly?" and "but i have to install that first?" ehm no, as
you will find your configure file and makefile and the only thing you
have to do is a ./configure && make && make install as usual. this is
because toc lives in the source try, quite like autotools, but not
fully, as no global installation is needed. pretty cool, isnt it? have a
look at the toc2 homepage [2] for further informations.
what does it look like?
=======================
as stated above, nothing in the ui changed, but as you gnome-people are
some screenshot fetishists, i made one, only for you!
