Announce: Entangle “Strange” release 0.6.1 – an app for tethered camera control & capture

I am pleased to announce a new release 0.6.1 of Entangle is available for download from the usual location:

This release has primarily involved bug fixing, but one major user visible change is a rewrite of the camera control panel. Instead of showing all possible camera controls (which can imply 100’s of widgets), only 7 commonly used controls are displayed initially. Other controls can be optionally enabled at the discretion of the user and customization is remembered per camera model.

• Require GTK >= 3.4
• Fix check for GIO package in configure
• Add missing icons to Makefile
• Follow freedesktop thumbnail standard storage location
• Refactor capture code to facilitate plugin script automation
• Fix bug causing plugin to be displayed more than once
• Make histogram height larger
• Strip trailing ‘2’ from widget labels to be more friendly
• Completely rewrite control panel display to show a small, user configurable subset from all the camera controls.
• Remember custom list of camera controls per camera model
• Hide compiler warnings from new glib atomic opertaions
• Update to newer gnulib compiler warnings code
• Remove broken double buffering code that’s no required when using GTK3
• Remove use of deprecated GtkMisc APis
• Allow camera picker list to show multiple lines
• Remove crufty broken code from session browser that was breaking with new GTK versions
• Disable libraw auto brightness since it totally overexposes many images, generally making things look worse
• Fix memory leak handling camera events
• Add keywords to desktop & appdata files
