    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis small patch series improves performances in qcam when the captured\nformat matches one of the formats natively supported by the viewfinder.\nIt allows skipping conversion and using zero-copy in that case.\n\nThe series includes a few miscellaneous drive-by fixes and improvements\nthat are documented in individual patches from 01/21 to 12/21. From\n13/21 onwards the viewfinder code is refactored, and patch 19/21 adds\nzero-copy support. Patch 20/21 fixes an isse where the last buffer isn't\nreleased when stopping capture (it could be squashed with 19/21, but I\ndecided to submit it separately for now to ease review).\n\nPatch 21/21 finally adds support for more native RGB formats in the\nviewfinder, and in particular for DRM_FORMAT_BGR888 that the VIMC\npipeline handler defaults to. BGR888 however requires Qt 5.14, which\nisn't widely shipped by distros, so it's disabled if the Qt version is\ntoo old.\n\nLaurent Pinchart (21):\n  qcam: Remove custom event dispatcher\n  qcam: Ensure headers are self-contained\n  qcam: Use QSize through the code base\n  qcam: main_window: Move request queuing to a separate function\n  qcam: main_window: Move capture event processing to main thread\n  qcam: main_window: Replace start and stop actions with a toggle action\n  qcam: main_window: Use icons from system icon theme\n  qcam: main_window: Add shortcuts for toolbar actions\n  qcam: main_window: Don't print message when saving a picture\n  qcam: main_window: Document functions and reorganize member data\n  qcam: main_window: Remove unneeded debug message\n  qcam: Use Qt qInfo() and qWarning() logging facilities\n  qcam: viewfinder: Add MappedBuffer to store memory mapping information\n  qcam: viewfinder: Move multi-planar check into viewfinder\n  qcam: viewfinder: Make the viewfinder hold a reference to a buffer\n  qcam: viewfinder: Embed QImage in ViewFinder\n  qcam: viewfinder: Use PixelFormat default constructor\n  qcam: viewfinder: Reorder methods to match header file\n  qcam: viewfinder: Avoid memory copy when conversion isn't needed\n  qcam: viewfinder: Display icon when stopping capture\n  qcam: viewfinder: Add support for more native formats\n\n src/qcam/assets/feathericons/feathericons.qrc |   1 +\n src/qcam/format_converter.cpp                 |  10 +-\n src/qcam/format_converter.h                   |   5 +-\n src/qcam/main.cpp                             |  11 +-\n src/qcam/main_window.cpp                      | 272 +++++++++++++-----\n src/qcam/main_window.h                        |  38 ++-\n src/qcam/meson.build                          |   2 +-\n src/qcam/qt_event_dispatcher.cpp              | 152 ----------\n src/qcam/qt_event_dispatcher.h                |  62 ----\n src/qcam/viewfinder.cpp                       | 140 +++++++--\n src/qcam/viewfinder.h                         |  36 ++-\n 11 files changed, 377 insertions(+), 352 deletions(-)\n delete mode 100644 src/qcam/qt_event_dispatcher.cpp\n delete mode 100644 src/qcam/qt_event_dispatcher.h"
