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 libconfig 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.
• audio recording support (re-implement audio recording is planned)
