## The fork
This is a personal fork of the camstudio source code found in the mecurial repository on sourceforge.net.
I have forked this project because:
* The installers that are availible on the web are not kosher.
* No h264/mkv support out of the box.
* Flash based products are insecure, support must be removed.

## Goals
Besides creating a clean installer for camstudio I have found myself a couple of additional goals.

* Fix memory leaks - done.
* Remove unmaintainable features:
  * swf support - removed.
  * xnote support - removed.
* Upgrade/Remove project dependencies:
  * CxImage - removed.
  * zlib - done.
  * minilzo - done.
  * libconfig++ - removed.
  * libpng - removed.
* Replace static visual studio project files with CMake - done.
* Add support for mkv - done.
* Replace libcondig with alternative - done.
* Improve settings screen - done.
* Create release - done.
* Introduce unit test - in progress.
* Replace UI framework with Qt.

## Removed features
* swf support.
* xnote support.
* audio recording support (re-implement audio recording is planned)

## How to clone/build
1. `git clone https://github.com/stevenhoving/camstudio.git --recursive`
2. `bootstrap.cmd`
3. Now open the project in the `vs_build` directory and build it.
