A new release of AstroDMx Capture for Linux (0.50.9) PLUS a simultaneous release for the Raspberry Pi

Whilst implementing AstroDMx Capture for Linux for the Raspberry Pi computer, some additional features were required that will also prove to be useful in the general release. One such feature is a function to reduce any lag in the image being previewed from UVC cameras. This will enable the user to set the point where lag is at a minimum and frame rate is as high as possible, commensurate with the lag reduction. This is particularly important during focusing and setting exposure etc.

The CPU useage has also been generally reduced and in particular for the QHY cameras. A number of other post-release issues have been fixed.

The result, is the simultaneous release of version 0.50.9 for the Raspberry Pi ARM processor and release version 0.50.9 for x86_64 processors.
