2.0.7

• Fixed fix noise pattern on E2V sensor 'ev76c541'.

2.0.0

• The following change marks the lib version as incompatible to older ones: The VCSenCfg Struct has a new entry named flash. You can now set outputs to flash on a per-sensor per-capture basis. The settings of the vcio program will be ORed with the new settings at the flash sensors. Also differing settings of the individual sensors will be logically ORed. The pin direction must be set right, e.g. by the vcio tool, in order to get a flash output signal. Also the FPGA Firmware version must be new enough. The default setting for the flash output is the TrigOut pin to be active, all others inactive. The VCSenCfg Struct has a new entry named flip. You can now set sensor images to be flipped at readout. Supported flip modes for the sensor are listed at the new description parameter flipability. Some sensors may corrupt the first image being recorded after setting the flip parameter to a new value.
