<li>Prosilica driver. Added support for the following:
<ul>
<li>FrameStartTriggerDelay: Delay between trigger signal and actual frame start.</li>
<li>FrameStartTriggerEvent: Edge or level of signal to use for trigger.</li>
<li>FrameStartTriggerOverlap: Trigger handling when the previous frame is incomplete.</li>
<li>FrameStartTriggerSoftware: Software trigger when TriggerMode=Software.</li>
</ul>

<li>Firewire Windows driver. Added READOUT_TIME parameter. The sum of the AcquireTime
plus the READOUT_TIME controls how long to wait before a frame timeout occurs. Previously
a hardcoded value of 1.0 second was used, which was too short for some slow cameras.</li>

The static Linux support libraries provided in R1-7 were built on a Fedora Core
9 system (gcc 4.3.0) for 32-bit linux-x86, and on a Fedora Core 14 system (gcc 4.5.1)
for 64-bit linux-x86_64. Problems arose when trying to build with these libraries
or to run the pre-built binaries on older Linux systems, e.g. those with gcc 4.1.2.
