1This document lists the differenced between camerabin and camerabin2 from
2the API point of view and should be used to help on porting applications
3from camerabin to camerabin2.

5* Setting the location for the captures:
6camerabin requires that the path of the file to save the captures is set before
7each capture. Camerabin2 allows the application to use a multifilesink-like
8approach, the application can set a file with a '%d' marker, this marker
9will be automatically replaced by a number and be autoincremented after each
10capture.
11The property is now called 'location' instead of 'filename'
12
13* Capture signals
14The signals were renamed from capture-start/stop to start/stop-capture as
15this is the usual naming on actions.
16Additionally, stop-capture is now async, the user should check 'idle' property
17to be sure that it can shut camerabin2.
18
19* image-done
20In camerabin, image-done is a signal, in camerabin2, it is a bus message
21
22* video recording encoder/muxer
23In camerabin, video/audio encoder/muxer are selected by passing GstElements to
24camerabin properties. In camerabin2, a GstEncodingProfile is passed as a
25property and encodebin manages to instantiate the elements for the format.
26
27* Previews
28new "post-previews" property for enabling/disabling preview image posting
29set location=NULL to skip writing image to file but to receive the preview,
30useful for scenarios that wants the image in memory.
31
32* Configuring resolution and framerate
33Camerabin2 has new GstCaps type properties for configuring capture and
34viewfinder formats:
35  video-capture-caps
36  image-capture-caps
37  audio-capture-caps
38  viewfinder-caps
