CameraX 1.2.0-beta01 is launched! 🥳

[Android CameraX Discussion Group]

Dear Developers,

We are happy to announce that 1.2.0-beta01 is released today! There are some exciting features you can enjoy:

• New library camera-mlkit-vision enters the first beta version. You can integrate CameraX with many MLKit features, including barcode scanning, face detection, text detection and so on. Please find the sample code here.

• New experimental Zero-Shutter Lag API. Optimizes capture pipeline to have better latency while keeping good image quality. When the capture mode is set to CAPTURE_MODE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG, the latency between the shutter button is clicked and the picture is taken is expected to be minimized, compared with other capture modes. On devices that don’t support ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG, it’ll fallback to CAPTURE_MODE_MINIMIZE_LATENCY. 

• Made ImageAnalysis.Analyzer and MLKitAnalyzer as official APIs.

• Exposed API for setting location metadata to the saved video.

• Rename ImageAnalysis.Analyzer#getTargetResolutionOverride() to ImageAnalysis.Analyzer#getDefaultTargetResolution().
