I've noticed there is a mention for an upcoming 2.0 version in the webpage.

Is there any ETA for the release?

Thx!

The code is pretty much complete and tested. I hesitated to upload it on google so I could complete some tasks beforehand. The json format hasn't changed but now there's also a small convenience library and I'm editing the examples/documentation to use that. I guess the release is way overdue though so I'll upload it this weekend even if only in the svn repository. Thanks for getting me out of a rut :)

PS. What's OSes are you using?

Hi,

Well, I'm currently testing it on an Iomega Iconnect with Debian (Marvell ARM based), but it doesn't have NEON so it really struggles.

I'll try to get my hands on something more versatile :)

Great, ARMs are a prime target for the application. Unfortunately families older than cortex don't have any decent SIMD instructions like NEON so they have to use the slower C functions. Fortunately version 2.0 should be almost 3x faster for any case. The algorithm itself got pretty optimised and a limitation which topped the app's cpu usage at 50% was fixed. With these, we managed to squeeze a steady 24+ fps on a beaglebone fetching both the json and depth MJPEG streams. So don't discard that old marvel just yet, it may be useful
