Xawtv version 3.96
For those that haven't notice yet, we're fixing some bugs at xawtv 3. Probably, we won't be adding new features on it, but we want to keep it on a sane state, in order to allow people to use it as a reference application on driver development.
I've just committed a few patches I wrote yesterday that backports some of the Fedora 12 patches to xawtv, and fixed a few bugs on it. As result, after having all dependencies installed, xawtv should compile fine with a recent distro (tested here with Fedora 12 and RHEL 5).
The version was increased to 3.96.
As usual, all commit messages are sent to linuxtv-commits mailing list. So, people that are interested on tracking what's happening can subscribe to the list.
Cheers,
Mauro.

It would make much more sense to complete (or at least try to complete) xawtv 4.0 pre instead of fixing bugs in 3.96.
Reasons why?
1. 4.0 pre contains more innovation, new ideas.
2. 3.96 s analogue only, not DVB.
3. Both the analogue AND the DVB driver development section do need reference applications for driver development: 4.0 pre contains BOTH:
reference apps for analogue AND DVB driver development.

We're currently mainly working on collecting distro patches for 3.xx so as to have a 3.xx upstream with all known issues fixed, and to have a source of xawtv-3.xx which will work out of the box on recent distro's
When setting up 3.xx git, we've also set up a 4.xx git, so that interested parties can work on it. As you seem interested, feel free to submit patches and / or apply for direct commit access to 4.xx git.
Regards,
Hans
