Hello.

Today I released pxc-0.80. I chose to leap the release number forward
because I feel it pretty complete and stable.

The driver is available from ftp://ar.linux.it/pub/pxc as both a
tar.gz file that includes compiled docs and a smaller CVS snapshot,
with no compiled docs. The official .tar.gz file is also available
from ftp://ftp.systemy.it/pub/develop ; more info at
http://ar.linux.it/software/#pxc .

The new release includes support for the PXC200A devices, that are
going to replace the PXC200 ones. The new grabbers feature a Bt878 in
place of the Bt848 that is not available any more.

What is still missing before I consider it 1.0 is sequence support.
This also means that pxc_grab (and thus the pxc_xgrab frontend) may
not be working properly).

Anyone please feel free to report any pending problem.

I wish to thank ImageNation for sponsoring this release and previous
work on buffer management and trigger support.
