Application Support with Libcamera
summary
libcamera centralizes complex ISP and media‑controller graphs so applications stop opening dozens of subdevices, and already runs on Raspberry Pi, Rockchip, NXP and Intel IPU3. It exposes a native C++ API plus a GStreamer element, Python bindings, and a V4L2 LD_PRELOAD compatibility wrapper libcamerify for legacy apps. A live demo shows a Chromium WebRTC call over PipeWire and the XDG camera portal between a Surface Go and a Raspberry Pi (colors fixed with format negotiation). Tools include qcam and cam; CI and stable API work are ongoing.
