Hi all,

I've just released the ivtv-utils 1.3.0 package for kernels 2.6.26 and 
up. It is basically ivtv-1.2.0 without the saa717x driver since that 
was merged in kernel 2.6.26. So as only tools and documentation remain 
it was renamed to ivtv-utils.

Also note that ivtvctl was renamed to ivtv-ctl to conform to the naming 
of other V4L tools.

It is really quite amazing, I've been working on ivtv for over 5 years 
now! Originally as contributor and since mid-2006 as maintainer. And 
with kernel 2.6.26 the last bit of driver code was finally merged! So 
this release is the first ivtv release without any driver code. Almost 
an anti-climax...

I definitely spend more time these days on the video4linux core code 
than I do on ivtv, which is a very good sign.

So a big 'Thank you!' to all who have helped me in the past. I think we 
did a pretty good job.

Regards,

	Hans
