LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: The gPhoto project members announce the release of gPhoto 0.4.1, the GNU digital camera application on November 20, 1999, about 1 year after the project was initially launched. gPhoto is a digital camera software application for free Unix-like systems such as Debian GNU/Linux and RedHat Linux, written by Scott Fritzinger <scottf@scs.unr.edu> -- with assistance from developers around the world. It is freely available and distributed on the terms of the GNU General Public License. The GNU GPL is intended to guarantee freedom to share and change gPhoto--to make sure it is free for all its users. gPhoto 0.4.1 ships with 16 different camera libraries and supports 90+ different digital still camera models, from Agfa, Apple, Canon, Casio, Chinon, Epson, Fuji, Hewlett Packard, Kodak, Konica, Minolta, Mustek, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Philips, Polaroid, Ricoh, Sanyo, and Sony. Check http://www.gphoto.org/devel.html for a list of supported camera models. Casio, Kodak, Minolta, Mustek, and Konica provide free, open camera communication specifications. The gPhoto developers encourage other vendors to also release specs to their latest and upcoming digital camera models. It is always a great help for potential camera customers to ask companies if they support gPhoto before you invest in a camera. The file ``CONTACTS'' in the distribution contains a list of companies that you can write to asking for GPL drivers or camera specifications. Changes since 0.4.0: * Canon A50 library fix, X indep.
