--- layout: page title: "Changelog" category: about date: 2018-12-20 17:49:29 order: 3 --- New versions are released through GitHub, so the reference page is the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/releases) page. ## v2.0.0 - Fix: bug with picture recorder ([#521][521]) - Fix: video snapshots appearing black ([#528][528]) - Fix: video snapshots exceptions and audio issues ([#530][530]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-rc2...v2.0.0 ### v2.0.0-rc2 - Fix: crashes when stopping video snapshots ([#513][513]) - Fix: dependencies missing, leading to runtime crashes ([#517][517]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-rc1...v2.0.0-rc2 ## v2.0.0-rc1 This is likely to be the last release before v2.0.0. - New: support for watermarks and animated overlays ([docs](../docs/watermarks-and-overlays.html)), thanks to [@RAN3000][RAN3000] ([#502][502], [#421][421]) - New: added `onVideoRecordingStart()` to be notified when video recording starts, thanks to [@agrawalsuneet][agrawalsuneet] ([#498][498]) - New: added `onVideoRecordingEnd()` to be notified when video recording ends ([#506][506]) - New: added `Audio.MONO` and `Audio.STEREO` to control the channel count for videos and video snapshots ([#506][506]) - New: added `cameraUseDeviceOrientation` to choose whether picture and video outputs should consider the device orientation or not ([#497][497]) - Improvement: improved Camera2 stability and various bugs fixed (e.g. [#501][501]) - Improvement: improved video snapshots speed, quality and stability ([#506][506]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta06...v2.0.0-rc1 ### v2.0.0-beta06 - New: Full featured Camera2 integration! Use `cameraExperimental="true"` and `cameraEngine="camera2"` to test this out. ([#490][490]) - Improvement: we now choose a video recording profile that is compatible with the chosen size. Should fix some video recording issues. ([#477][477]) - Improvement: most internals are now open to be accessed by subclassing. Feel free to open PRs with more protected methods to be overriden. ([#494][494]) - **Breaking change**: some public classes have been moved to different packages. See [table here](../extra/v1-migration-guide.html#repackaging). ([#482][482]) - **Breaking change**: the listener methods `onFocusStart` and `onFocusEnd` are now called `onAutoFocusStart` and `onAutoFocusEnd`. ([#484][484]) - **Breaking change**: the gesture actions `focus` and `focusWithMarker` have been removed and replaced by `autoFocus`, which shows no marker. ([#484][484]) - New: new API called `setAutoFocusMarker()` lets you choose your own marker. ([#484][484]) If you were using `focus`, just switch to `autoFocus`. If you were using `focusWithMarker`, you can [add back the old marker](../docs/controls.html#cameraautofocusmarker). https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta05...v2.0.0-beta06 ### v2.0.0-beta05 - Fixed `FrameProcessor` freeze and release behavior, was broken ([#431][431]) - New: new api `setAutoFocusResetDelay` to control the delay to reset the focus after autofocus was performed, thanks to [@cneuwirt][cneuwirt] ([#435][435]) - Faster camera preview on layout changes ([#403][403]) - A few bug fixes ([#471][471]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta04...v2.0.0-beta05 ### v2.0.0-beta04 - Renames setPreviewSize to setPreviewStreamSize (previewSize suggests it is related to the view size but it's not) ([#393][393]) - Added new APIs `setSnapshotMaxWidth` and `setSnapshotMaxHeight` ([#393][393]). You can now have a good looking preview but still take low-res snapshots using these snapshot constraints. Before this, the two sizes were coupled. https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta03...v2.0.0-beta04 ### v2.0.0-beta03 - Fixed a few bugs ([#392][392]) - Important fixes to video snapshot recording ([#374][374]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta02...v2.0.0-beta03 ### v2.0.0-beta02 - Fixed important bugs ([#356][356]) - Picture snapshots are now flipped when front camera is used ([#360][360]) - Added `PictureResult.getFacing()` and `VideoResult.getFacing()` ([#360][360]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v2.0.0-beta01...v2.0.0-beta02 ## v2.0.0-beta01 This is the first beta release. For changes with respect to v1, please take a look at the [migration guide](../extra/v1-migration-guide.html). ### v1.6.1 This is the last release before v2. - Fixed: crash when using TextureView in API 28, thanks to [@Keyrillanskiy][Keyrillanskiy] ([#297][297]) - Fixed: restore Frame Processor callbacks after taking videos, thanks to [@stefanJi][stefanJi] ([#344][344]) - Enhancement: when horizontal, camera now uses the last available orientation, thanks to [@aartikov][aartikov] ([#290][290]) - Changed: we now swallow exceptions during autoFocus that were happening unpredictably on some devices, thanks to [@mahdi-ninja][mahdi-ninja] ([#332][332]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.6.0...v1.6.1 ## v1.6.0 - Lifecycle support. Use `setLifecycleOwner` instead of calling start, stop and destroy ([#265][265]) - Enhancement: provide synchronous version of CameraUtils.decodeBitmap thanks to [@athornz][athornz] ([#224][224]) - Enhancement: prevent possible context leak thanks to [@MatFl][MatFl] ([#245][245]) - Bug: fix crash when using default VideoCodec thanks to [@Namazed][Namazed] ([#264][264]) - Enhancement: CameraException.getReason() gives some insight about the error ([#265][265]) - Enhancement: Common crashes are now being posted to the error callback instead of crashing the app ([#265][265]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.5.1...v1.6.0 ### v1.5.1 - Bug: byte array length for Frames was incorrect thanks to [@ssakhavi][ssakhavi] ([#205][205]) - Bug: gestures were crashing in some conditions ([#222][222]) - Bug: import correctly the ExifInterface library ([#222][222]) - Updated dependencies thanks to [@caleb-allen][caleb-allen] ([#190][190]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.5.0...v1.5.1 ## v1.5.0 - New: set encoder for video recordings with `cameraVideoCodec` ([#174][174]) - New: set max duration for videos with `cameraVideoMaxDuration` ([#172][172]) - Enhancement: reduced lag with continuous gestures (ev, zoom) ([#170][170]) - Bug: tap to focus was crashing on some devices ([#167][167]) - Bug: capturePicture was breaking if followed by another event soon after ([#173][173]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.4.2...v1.5.0 ### v1.4.2 - Add prefix to XML resources so they don't collide, thanks to [@RocketRider][RocketRider] ([#162][162]) - Add `videoMaxSize` API and XML attribute, to set max size video in bytes, thanks to [@chaitanyaraghav][chaitanyaraghav] ([#104][104]) - Improved the preview size selection, thanks to [@YeungKC][YeungKC] ([#133][133]) - Improved the playSounds attribute, was playing incorrectly, thanks to [@xp-vit][xp-vit] ([#143][143]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.4.1...v1.4.2 ### v1.4.1 - Fixed a bug that would flip the front camera preview on some devices ([#112][112]) - Two new `CameraOptions` APIs: `o.getSupportedPictureSizes()` and `o.getSupportedPictureAspectRatios()` ([#101][101]) - Most controls (video quality, hdr, grid, session type, audio, white balance, flash, facing) now inherit from a base `Control` class ([#105][105]). This let us add new APIs: - `CameraView.set(Control)`: sets the control to the given value, e.g. `set(Flash.AUTO)` - `CameraOptions.supports(Control)`: returns true if the control is supported - `CameraOptions.getSupportedControls(Class)`: returns list of supported controls of a given kind https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.4.0...v1.4.1 ## v1.4.0 - CameraView is now completely thread-safe. All actions are asynchronous. ([#97][97]) This has some breaking drawbacks. Specifically, the `get` methods (e.g., `getWhiteBalance`) might not return the correct value while it is being changed. So don't trust them right after you have changed the value. Instead, always check the `CameraOptions` to see if the value you want is supported. - Added error handling ([#97][97]) in `CameraListener.onCameraError(CameraException)`. At the moment, all exceptions there are unrecoverable. When the method is called, the camera is showing a black preview. This is a good moment to show an error dialog to the user. You can also try to `start()` again but that is not guaranteed to work. - Long requested ability to set the picture output size ([#99][99]). Can be done through `CameraView.setPictureSize()` or through new XML attributes starting with `cameraPictureSize`. Please refer to docs about it. - Deprecated `toggleFacing`. It was unreliable and will be removed. - Deprecated `getCaptureSize`. Use `getPictureSize` instead. - Fixed bugs. https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.3.2...v1.4.0 ### v1.3.2 - Fixed a memory leak thanks to [@andrewmunn][andrewmunn] ([#92][92]) - Reduced memory usage when using cropOutput thanks to [@RobertoMorelos][RobertoMorelos] ([#93][93]) - Improved efficiency for Frame processors, recycle buffers and Frames ([#94][94]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.3.1...v1.3.2 ### v1.3.1 - Fixed a bug that would make setFacing and other APIs freeze the camera ([#86][86]) - Fixed ConcurrentModificationExceptions during CameraListener callbacks ([#88][88]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.3.0...v1.3.1 ## v1.3.0 - Ability to inject frame processors to do your own visual tasks (barcodes, facial recognition etc.) ([#82][82]) - Ability to inject external loggers (e.g. Crashlytics) to listen for internal logging events ([#80][80]) - Improved CameraUtils.decodeBitmap, you can now pass maxWidth and maxHeight to avoid OOM ([#83][83]) - Updated dependencies thanks to [@v-gar][v-gar] ([#73][73]) https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/compare/v1.2.3...v1.3.0 [aartikov]: https://github.com/aartikov [athornz]: https://github.com/athornz [v-gar]: https://github.com/v-gar [andrewmunn]: https://github.com/andrewmunn [chaitanyaraghav]: https://github.com/chaitanyaraghav [YeungKC]: https://github.com/YeungKC [RobertoMorelos]: https://github.com/RobertoMorelos [RocketRider]: https://github.com/RocketRider [xp-vit]: https://github.com/xp-vit [caleb-allen]: https://github.com/caleb-allen [ssakhavi]: https://github.com/ssakhavi [MatFl]: https://github.com/MatFl [Namazed]: https://github.com/Namazed [Keyrillanskiy]: https://github.com/Keyrillanskiy [mahdi-ninja]: https://github.com/mahdi-ninja [stefanJi]: https://github.com/stefanJi [cneuwirt]: https://github.com/cneuwirt [agrawalsuneet]: https://github.com/agrawalsuneet [RAN3000]: https://github.com/RAN3000 [73]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/73 [80]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/80 [82]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/82 [83]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/83 [86]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/86 [88]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/88 [92]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/92 [93]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/93 [94]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/94 [97]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/97 [99]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/99 [101]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/101 [104]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/104 [105]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/105 [112]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/112 [133]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/133 [143]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/143 [162]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/162 [167]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/167 [170]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/170 [172]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/172 [173]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/173 [174]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/174 [190]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/190 [205]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/205 [222]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/222 [224]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/224 [245]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/245 [264]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/264 [265]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/265 [290]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/290 [297]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/297 [332]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/332 [344]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/344 [356]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/356 [360]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/360 [374]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/374 [392]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/392 [393]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/393 [471]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/471 [431]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/431 [403]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/403 [421]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/421 [435]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/435 [477]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/477 [482]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/482 [484]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/484 [490]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/490 [497]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/497 [498]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/498 [501]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/501 [502]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/502 [506]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/506 [513]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/513 [517]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/517 [521]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/521 [528]: https://github.com/natario1/CameraView/pull/528
