Hi all, Linux kernel 3.11 is due to be released soon. It contains the following changes to the IEEE 134 subsystem: Userspace API: Fix corrupted video capture, seen with IIDC/DCAM applications and certain buffer settings. This fixes a regression since kernel 3.4 inclusive. The fix has also been released in kernels 3.10.5, 3.8.13.7, 3.5.7.19, and 3.4.56. Kernelspace API: The kernel-internal programming interface between firewire-core and protocol drivers was slightly changed to better support drivers which need to apply device-specific parameters or routines. Out-of-tree developers who maintain a stable history can git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394.git fw_driver-api-transition to receive mainline commit 94a87157cde9. A transition to the current programming interface can be based on this commit in a bisectable manner. -- Stefan Richter -=====-===-= =--- ===-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ |
