+NEW IN THIS VERSION:
+ o Support for OV511+
+ o Support for OV7620
+
 INTRODUCTION:
 
 This is a preliminary version of my OV511 Linux device driver. Currently, it can
 grab a frame in color (YUV420) at 640x480 or 320x240 using either vidcat or
 xawtv. Other utilities may work but have not yet been tested.
 
-NEW IN THIS VERSION:
- o Preliminary snapshot support
- o Experimental red-blue misalignment fixes
- o Better YUV420 color conversion
- o Module options
- o Finer-grained debug message control
- o Support for new cameras (4, 36)
- o Uses initcalls
