• Release Date: Feb 5, 2013
• Download(s):
  CamStudio2.7r316-Setup.exe
• CamStudio not displaying/able to use all video codecs on system (Partially done - some Microsoft WM codecs are still inaccessable but this is being worked on)

• Release Date: Oct 28, 2010
• Download(s):
  CamStudio_Setup_v2.6b_r294_(build_24Oct2010).exe
• Huge step in release number sequence. Caused because many new nice features can be expected soon.
  
  Nice things like zooming, showing key combinations pressed and/or left,middle and right mouse identification on screen.
• This release contains only a few small fixes.
  • Region 'Window' and'Select Screen' in case of multiple screens now calculate the pixels correct either.
  • Temporally and final files are now created in the directory you have specified in "Directory for recording"
  • Log file ....xnote.txt is renamed to ....txt and shows now besides xnote information also the version and release number of the executable.
  • Inside the code 'Playerplus.exe' is now invoked instead of 'Playplus.exe'. So it will startup. (My personal opinion; Don't use it at all. On can better use player.exe or use local player.)

• Release Date: Oct 10, 2010
• Download(s):
  CamStudio_Setup_v2.6b_r273_(build_05Oct2010).exe
• Camstudio v2.6, release 272/273:
  • Fixed a memoryleak that caused that made Camstudio crashed after 40-50 minutes of recording.
  • Redesigned the region calculation routines.
    • The same procedure is now applicable for all sizing calculations.
    • The area you define in regions is the area that will be recorded. No shift in position or losing rows or columns.
    • Size of the region is now displayed correctly in the progress monitoring window.
    • Size of the recording is now equal to the size as displayed the progress monitoring window.
• Camstudio v2.6, release 270:
  • Fixed how Camstudio treated 'TimeDelayInMilliSecs'. An postive value now ,means that time is added instead of subtracted.
• Camstudio v2.6, release 269:
  • Add manifest files to prevent Microsoft 'Side by side' errors during first usage.
  • Mostly this can be solved with installing the"MIcrosoft
