Change Log:
-----------

OpenNI 2.2.0:
  - Added getDepthColorSyncEnabled() API
  - Added log settings API
  - Add a typedef: OniGrayscale8Pixel
  - invoke() method signature was updated - data is no longer const
  - New Java Wrappers
  - New Java sample: SimpleViewer.java
  - Add support for Capri devkits
  - Added tools: PS1080Console and PSLinkConsole (for debugging purposes)
  - Drivers and INI files path resolution based on the shared library location (merge pull request #7. See https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI2/pull/7 for details. Thanks to Tomoto)
  - NiViewer: Allow choosing which streams to open (run "NiViewer --help" for details).
  - NiViewer: add support for seeking to a specific frame in a recording. Use the ':' key.
  - Image registration support for Kinect driver (merge pull request #4. See https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI2/pull/4 for details. Thanks to Tomoto)
  - Completely re-wrote frame buffers management. 
  - Added API for replacing frame buffer allocator.
  - Linux: implement connect/disconnect events
  - All samples are now self-contained and can be copied anywhere. In addition, compiling a sample does *not* overwrite the original precompiled binary.
  - PS1080: IR stream now also supports RGB888
  - PS1080: improved hardware name detection
  - PS1080: Add NESA unlimited to BIST
  - PrimeSense: move common properties (PS1080 and Capri) to PrimeSense.h
  - PS1080: add new property for turning on hardware frame sync, with no OpenNI checks
  - New pixel format: YUYV. PS1080 now supports it (on newer firmwares), and so does NiViewer and recordings.
  - PS1080: add lots of debug commands
  - PS1080: add new file type (vendor data)
  - PS1080: added support for the second alternative interface (low-bandwidth)
  - PS1080: added support for IR stream from the AR130 CMOS
  - PS1080: added support for turning on/off emitter
  - Bug Fixes:
    - Bug Fix: reading frames / waiting on streams did not work well from multiple threads
    - Bug Fix: Failed to use after OpenCL was initialized
    - Bug Fix: Visual Sutdio 2008 wasn't supported
    - PS1080 Linux did not support the RD1.09 device
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: Physical device name property could not be read
    - Make sure device is still open when closing a stream that uses it.
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: handle file system lock when uploading only in supporting firmwares
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: LED API wasn't working
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: debug dumps were not closed properly
    - Kinect Bug Fix: wrong error code returned when trying to change video mode while streaming
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: isPropertySupported() didn't return true for ONI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_FIRMWARE_VERSION, ONI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_HARDWARE_VERSION and ONI_DEVICE_PROPERTY_SERIAL_NUMBER.
    - PS1080 Bug Fix: potential crash when corrupt data arrives on BAYER stream
  - Build:
    - Rename Redist dir to Packaging
    - Remove all warnings during build. Treat all warnings as errors.
    - Rewrote the android make files to proper standards
    - Fix Linux identification (apparently -std=c1x defines only __linux and not linux)
    - Support WIX 3.6 and up
    - ReleaseVersion script won't fail if output file exists (overwrite it)

OpenNI 2.1.0:
  - API change: each event now has its own addListener()/removeListener() methods. A listener object can now be added only once.
  - Support for Mac OSX
  - Support for Linux on Arm
  - Support for Android (native only)
  - Kinect: implementing convertDepthToColorCoordinates()
  - Kinect: implementing CameraSettings
  - Kinect Bug Fix: can now switch between color and IR streams
  - Kinect Bug Fix: wrong mirror value was returned
  - PS1080 Bug Fix: trying to open more than 8 devices will crash
  - PS1080 Bug Fix: on Linux 64-bit, color frames are sometimes corrupt
  - PS1080 Bug Fix: a potential crash with older firmwares
  - NiViewer now browses whenever a recording is started
  - NiViewer: added 'i' key for toggling image-registration (also added current status in the status bar)
  - Minor memory leak fixes
  - EventBasedRead Sample Bug Fix: will not get device events
  - EventBasedRead Sample now prints the list of connected devices and every change that occurs
  - Recordings are now also compatible with OpenNI 1.x and NiTE 1.x
  - Potential starvation bug fix when application takes much time handling events
  - Log file now closes on shutdown(), and a new one is created on initialize()
  - SimpleRead is now the default project in the VS solution (thanks eranws)
  - Bug Fix: did not support Visual Studio 2008 and older
  - Bug Fix: did not support Visual Studio 2012 and newer
  - Bug Fix: did not support Visual Studio Express (thanks rh-galaxy)
  - NiViewer Bug Fix: Mirror did not change IR state
  - Kinect: providing Kinect for Windows PID and VID in the device info struct
  - ONI files: providing driver name in the device info struct
  - Bug Fix: ReleaseVersion script did not work on 32-bit machines
  - Linux Bug Fix: log timestamps did not start from 0.
  
OpenNI 2.0.0:
  - Brand new API (see documentation)
  - Algorithms API were removed, and are now part of middleware libraries (such as NiTE)
  - New deployment model - private copy to each application (see documentation)
  - Added support for turning off Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance of the color CMOS in PS1080 devices
