Millipixels has really overstayed its welcome, it was meant to be a temporary pile of hacks to facilitate driver development, but - perhaps inevitably, as makeshift does - it stayed there much longer than anticipated. I have spent a few hours polishing some of its roughest edges, finishing up past WIP work and hacking some desperately needed quality-of-life improvements in.

Along with e.g. rotation sensing and better QR code detection, it can now also adjust frame rate to extend exposure time.

Here's a few cat-less examples too for some variety.

The processing is still pretty basic, you can easily get better results out of Darktable etc. but it should nevertheless be a big improvement for what you get by a simple point-and-shoot.

The new version of Millipixels, now in crimson-updates-proposed, significantly improves the way photos are developed by default. No need to develop the RAWs on your own to get rid of that greenish retro look anymore. Time to update and show off your cats on the fedi 😺

Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.

While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

I couldn't make any sense out of these logs so I yielded to a developer higher in seniority who is now carefully analyzing the issue.

May this next year be about thriving rather than survival.

Best wishes from Stasio.
