We've adapted *Galicaster to run on Ubuntu 12.04* and take advantage on the upgrades on the operative system. This way we've *improved the Blackmagic cards* plugin to support multiple devices and audio recording. We've included *firewire (DV) and NCast digitizers among our oficially supported cards*. And we've made available audio and video mock sources for testing purposes.
On the media management side, we've worked on provide new and *enhanced export operations*. Now, Galicaster is able to *export to zip* and *create side-by-side* copies of the media recorded. In addition we've improved the operation management system, allowing immediate and nocturne triggering of every operation. Every immediate operation is enqueued, thus resolved sequentially.
Accompanying this release, we've opened a twitter account where we will talk about our current works, announce new releases, inform of improvements on the documentation, share experiences and any other news related to Galicaster.
