CamStudio
The fork
This is a personal fork of the camstudio source code found in the mecurial repository on sourceforge.net.
I have forked this project because:
- The installers that are availible on the web are not kosher.
- No h264/mkv support out of the box.
- Flash based products are insecure, support must be removed.
Goals
Besides creating a clean installer for camstudio I have found myself a couple of additional goals.
- Fix memory leaks - done.
- Remove unmaintainable features:
- swf support - removed.
- xnote support - removed.
- Upgrade/Remove project dependencies:
- CxImage - removed.
- zlib - done.
- minilzo - done.
- libconfig++ - removed.
- libpng - removed.
- Replace static visual studio project files with CMake - done.
- Add support for mkv - done.
- Replace libcondig with alternative - done.
- Improve settings screen - done.
- Create release - done.
- Introduce unit test - in progress.
- Replace UI framework with Qt.
Removed features
- swf support.
- xnote support.
