Hi folks,
Finally a new release ... 2.5.26 for both libgphoto2 and gphoto2. (libgphoto2
has more changes ;)
- There is a new driver for docupen scanners.
- The ptp driver received quite a big amount of changes.
- Fuji XT support is much better, now supports bulb capture and capture is
generally more stable.
For this I rented a XT-4 / XT-3 over 3 seperate weekends, which defintely
helped me
making the driver better.
- Sony QX partial support (lens only cameras)
Lots of remote debugging with Brandon... Preview works, configuration
works, just
capture ... I feel we are getting close, but sadly are not there yet with
capture.
- Sony ZV-1 and other Sonys..
Here I would like to thank Andreas for lending me his ZV-1 for some days,
it helped
greatly to discover a new subtlety in modern Sonys ... They need a 3 second
startup delay.
- Nikon
Some small improvements and adjustments, mostly in the D3xxx series and the
Nikon 1 series.
- Webcam streaming and "liveviewsize"
Especially in the current time where cameras have been used more as
webcams, one parameter
was also higher resolution liveviews for streaming / webcams.
Nikon DSLR, Sony QX, Fuji XT so far support selection of liveview size.
(I expect Sony Alpha too, just did not find it out yet.)
Streaming on Linux with the v4l2loopback kernel driver is easy, although
has a bit of
latency and no sound. Documented here: http://gphoto.org/doc/remote/
- gphoto2 commandline tool
I did some small enhancements, mostly to wait-event (now stoppable with
SIGUSR2 or by TIMEOUT)
Thanks to all contributors, testers, translators and donors!
Please report issues / regressions / enhancements via github issues.
Ciao, Marcus

libgphoto2 2.5.26 release
ptp2:
* Olympus OMD: fixed the 65 second wait after capture.
* Canon EOS:
* bugfixes

works and what not

* Sony:
* Modern Sony cameras seem to require a 3 second wait on startup. Seems
needed on ZV-1, A7 R4, RX100 M7 so far... Unsure why.
* correct shutterspeed, iso and exposurebias decoding for Sony A7r4 and other
new models
* some bugfixes in property settings, trying to speed it up
