What's Changed
* Video Feature added (beta) by mgineer85 in https://github.com/photobooth-app/photobooth-app/pull/167

**PyPi package:** https://pypi.org/project/photobooth-app/
**Installation:** https://photobooth-app.org/setup/installation/
**Update:** https://photobooth-app.org/setup/update/


**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/photobooth-app/photobooth-app/compare/v1.2.1...v2.0a1

What's Changed
* Fixes bugs:
* Make background on rotated images transparent to avoid overlapping issue 160
* Capture preview images from DSLR only if actually a preview stream is requested from the backend 163. Can improve situation for cameras that do not support live preview streaming well (like M3 in combination with gphoto2, 161)
* Frontend: Improve low resolution screen display 162
* Improvement: Speed up GIF postprocessing a bit.
* Picamera2-Backend: Reduced the amount of switching between preview/still capture to avoid stalling. 148




**PyPi package:** https://pypi.org/project/photobooth-app/
**Installation:** https://photobooth-app.org/setup/installation/
**Update:** https://photobooth-app.org/setup/update/


**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/photobooth-app/photobooth-app/compare/v1.2.0...v1.2.1

What's Changed
* Fixes bugs 154, 155, 156 and 157.
* Correctly apply filter chosen by user in gallery. Filter collages and animations is disabled.
* Update the gallery when images are deleted from database.
* Global pipeline enable/disable option is removed as every single stage can be enabled separately also.
* Frontend: Minor improvements in layout and use of the instagram-like filter.
* Improvement: Added nicer looking frames and dummy images for collages and animated gifs.
* Improvement [**Important**]: Updated [shareservice php script to v2](https://github.com/photobooth-app/photobooth-app/blob/main/extras/shareservice/dl.php). Please upload the new file to your hoster. Don't forget to set the api key again 👋
* Supports sharing animated GIFs now
* Improved error messages if php configuration is off (example too low file upload limit, ...)
* Raised the default max filesize limit to 25MB
* Improvement: The connection to camera devices are now monitored. In regular cycles the software tries to recover the connection by probing if the device is available again. This is helpful for all cameras connected via cable like USB cameras that can get unplugged or the DSLR goes in standby or is powered off for some reason.
* Refactoring: Improved internal handling of postprocesses to collages and animated gifs.
* Updated python dependencies.
