libcamera 0.4 Released For Open-Source Camera Stack/Framework


A new release of libcamera is now available for this open-source camera stack solution that is increasingly used now for getting newer web cameras working on Linux and similar

The libcamera 0.4 release announcement reads:"This release brings in 253 commits, with substantial development on image control and tuning features for IPA and Pipeline handlers supporting libipa, as well as integrating libipa support for IPA handling on the ARM Mali-C55 ISP. A key and notable change in this release too is that the softISP is now moving towards utilising the libipa [implementations] which will enable future tuning and image control capabilities, and should also support future development on a GPU-ISP implementation for GPU-accelerated handling. I do believe this work may have introduced an oscillation regression in the AEGC which will need to be investigated and fixed in the near future, but I don't want to hold up progressing the ABI updates at this stage.
