14 DAY TRIAL // Cheese, a Photobooth-inspired GNOME application for taking pictures and videos from a webcam that also includes graphical effects based on the gstreamer-backend, is now at version 3.11.2.
Cheese 3.11.2 can be used to take photos and videos, and it's based on GNOME 3.0, GStreamer, Clutter, and GNOME Video Effects.
The developers have pushed a large number of features and changes with this version and it's probably one of the biggest releases in years. This version will evolve and it will be integrated in the upcoming GNOME 3.12 release.
Users are now able to see the top bar when moving the mouse in fullscreen mode. According to the developers, the application will store the information whether the window was maximized before entering fullscreeen mode, and return to the same state when exiting fullscreen.
Highlights of Cheese 3.11.2:
• A memory leak in cheese_thumb_view_remove_item() has been fixed; • A finalize method has been added to CheeseEffect. Apparently, the data in CheeseEffectPrivate was not being freed properly, leading to memory leaks; • A memory leak in cheese_thumb_view_monitor_cb() has been corrected; • The obsolete CheeseCameraEffect has been removed from VAPI; • A memory leak in cheese_camera_set_tags() has been fixed; • CheeseVideoFormat is now marked as a boxed type in the VAPI (it was only marked as a compact struct, and so was never freed); • A leak of GtkSizeGroup has been fixed in CheeseAvatarWidget; • The AppData description has been added; • A deprecated warning has been fixed in on_countdown_toggle; • PNG and SVG images have been moved into Gresource.
A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. Download Cheese 3.11.2 right now from Softpedia.
The final version of GNOME 3.12 is expected to arrive on March 26, 214.
