    Another day, another tarball

    I've got my process down. Update the README, `make distcheck`, upload the tarball, update the webpage, submit to Freshmeat, update the weblog.

    Tonight's release adds Video4Linux support, so now the other 95% of the Linux community can use it. V4L is the API used by frame grabber cards and USB webcams, so I guess I should support it. USB webcams are pretty pathetic quality in comparison to Firewire webcams, and are also annoying to support because every USB webcam driver has its own funky API to set framerate and what-not. But it's what most people seem to have, unfortunately. Just for fun, I threw in support for the Philips webcams, but since I don't have one myself I have no idea if it will work.

    Maybe tomorrow somebody will actually subscribe to the mailing list, too.
