To all users, developers and other interested folk,

Our kernel module driver has just taken a big step forward:
The development branch we have been working on for the past few weeks
has now become master and therefore our new default branch.
Of course there are quite a few changes and a few consequencies we like
to inform you about:

1. There is no more decoding or decompression in kernelspace. This
improves performance but for many applications you will now have to use
"libv4l", a userspace decompression layer developed for GSPCAv2. A short
explanation is in the updated README.

2. The driver now offers JPEG compression. This can especially help on
low-bandwidth connections like USB 1.0 and 1.1.

3. The driver now handles image sensor and bridge chip (SN9C20X)
independently. This makes adding devices much easier and we already
support some more webcam models. If yours hasn't been supported up until
now - please check if it works now.

To update your local git repository use this command:

$ git pull --force

Note: The "--force" is necessary because the update required some
non-fast forward changes. If you encounter any problems please notify
us. Of course a simple "$ git clone ..." will also work.

So - everyone is invited to take a sharp look at the changes, post
patches, add new features, solve bugs, make comments and of course have
fun with their webcam.

Good luck,
GWater

Errrrr, push -f was not good choice. Don't do it in the future. Just merge branches.

Regards
Vasily
