0.93 has been released today.<br>
<br>
large parts of the underlying engine have been re-written to give you a<br>
better experience!<br>
<br>
<br>
binaries are available for w32 (installer & zip), for the brave and<br>
adventurous there is the source code.<br>
binaries for OSX and not available yet, but we hope to get them online<br>
soonish.<br>
<br>
grab it while it's hot: <a href="http://gem.iem.at/releases/0.93.0" target="_blank">http://gem.iem.at/releases/0.93.0</a><br>

the existing [pix_video], [pix_film] and [pix_image] objects<br>
<br>
- still image loading/saving now uses plugins on all platforms<br>
on w32 you can now use ImageMagick and/or QuickTime for loading/saving<br>
images, which greatly increases the number of supported formats.<br>
you now get programmatic feedback on image loading success...<br>
<br>
- video acquisition now uses plugins on all platforms<br>
uniform way to get or set properties/attributes/controls, like hue,<br>
saturation, shutter-speed, pan,...<br>

support for industrial grade GigE cameras using 3rd party libraries<br>
such as PYLON, Halcon or AVT's PvAPI<br>

gmerlin on w32 or osx...)<br>

mode,...? change it once and for all<br>
<br>
internals<br>
---------<br>
- API: this is the first Gem with a "public" API: a selection of headers<br>
that you can use to write your own Gem-plugins<br>
build-system<br>
<br>
- build system: completely switched to a proper autotools<br>
<br>
- openGL: updated bundled GLEW<br>
<br>
- source organization: re-organized the entire source tree for hopefully<br>
better maintainability<br>
