v1.91

What's new:

Big change: macOS 12 "Monterey" support

• Use c.1 config container instead of c.2. Fixes issue #164
• Add sha256 checksum file to releases
• Enable support for uncompressed video formats

v1.90

What's new:

• Add configurable resolutions, allowing you to define the available video resolutions. Thanks to @westfeld!
• The advertised serial number is now based on your Raspberry Pi and no longer a static string
• New version of https://github.com/peterbay/uvc-gadget with some performance improvements
• Add support for overriding the UVC controls available to the host computer. Thanks to @wherget!

v1.80

What's new:

• Support for the Raspberry Pi 4. Thanks to Caleb Connolly (@calebccff) and @skarard!
• Auto login when connecting through a serial console
• You can now disable the serial console by removing the file enable-serial-debug in /boot

v1.70

What's new:

• camera-ctl, a new lightweight app which allows you to show and tweak all available camera parameters.Thanks to @AlexOD42 and @peterbay! See screenshot below.
• Close to 50% smaller images, reducing the image size to about ~35MB (~20MB compressed). A 64MB SD Card is now all you need.
• Blinking support! Next to turning on the LED when streaming, your Pi will now blink 3 times when your webcam is ready (e.g. after booting)

v1.60

What's new:

• Automatic build and release process through Github Actions
• Add LED and GPIO pin support (Pin #21) to indicate when camera is streaming
• More boot time improvements (the webcam boots in < 5 seconds).
• New default camera.txt settings
• Add support to overwrite camera.txt files during a custom build

V1.50

What's new:

• Boot time improvements (about 50% reduction, now the webcam boots in < 10 secs).
• Lessen CPU load on webcam idle.
• Many more improvements from peterbay/uvc-webcam (switched upstream).

Thanks to @dgsiegel for adding patches, testing, and tune-ups for this release!

V1.40

What's new:

• Binary release for raspberry pi 0.
• 40 pin header UART fix (hope it works now, hopefully).

V1.30

Fixes #2: Piwebcam: Enable overriding of camera settings

How to override camera settings:

Connect to the ttyACM device and issue
/usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -L | less

Then, put the SD card back into the computer, 
create a file called camera.txt in /boot and put all parameters
you want to be overridden, for example:

auto_exposure_bias=15

You can also remount the boot partition read/write to edit it
on-line:

mount -o remount,rw /boot

Now with more debugging!!!
