Maybe soon we will get a free, redistributable digital camera
software application. :-)
gPhoto2 is the next generation of gPhoto development. The main
difference is the overall structure change and portabilitiy. gPhoto2
makes it possible to write any front-end in any language or GUI
toolkit. Also, gPhoto2 is extremely portable, making use of a new IO
library (libgpio) written by the gPhoto developers. The IO library,
when completed, will allow cross-platform serial, parallel, USB,
IEEE1394, and network socket programming. It is not dependent on
gPhoto, so any application can use it. gPhoto2 will be able to run on
Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS2, Windows, BeOS, and possibly Macintosh.
