camera 0.6.0

A Flutter plugin for getting information about and controlling the camera on Android and iOS. Supports previewing the camera feed, capturing images, capturing video, and streaming image buffers to dart.

0.6.0

As part of implementing federated architecture and making the interface compatible with the web this version contains the following breaking changes:

Method changes in CameraController:

• The takePicture method no longer accepts the path parameter, but instead returns the captured image as an instance of the XFile class;
• The startVideoRecording method no longer accepts the filePath. Instead the recorded video is now returned as a XFile instance when the stopVideoRecording method completes;
• The stopVideoRecording method now returns the captured video when it completes;
• Added the buildPreview method which is now used to implement the CameraPreview widget.
