Salut, yet another beta release... Binary-visible changes: * the manager is robust, like in BETA2, but this time all plugins have been patched to get loaded by a robust manager (!); * avc has the "userfriendly names" feature (notice: the real name of my own cam is all but userfriendly, but still, it's its name); * avc works as good as the IEEE1394 bus; ie: if this one is in an inconsistent state, the plugin will make gm crash (I'll try to detect&handle that better); * gm will spit out the list of plugins he managed to open, and give the reason why he couldn't otherwise; Source-visible changes: * dominance should only have to cp the plugins/ dir in the pwlib tree, and use the same debian/*; * gm.patch and pwlib.patch are the same; * vidinput_manager_dlopen.cxx has evolved...; I really badly need two things at the moment: * manager API comments; I don't want to contact equivalence for inclusion as long as I'm not sure about my API! * someone to take care of the dc plugin: it is bad; it can crash gm for no good reason. If you can't take care of the plugin but have a dc device to offer, I'll accept the gift ;-) Other than that, a little testing and good bug reports would be nice, Snark
