## AI overview

A weekly Codename One update discusses post-3.6 release changes, limitations in timed video capture, possible low-level camera APIs, and community interest in porting Flamingo SVG for fast cross-platform use.

## Source excerpt

Today we have the first weekly release since the 3.6 release and as such it is choke full of changes which is natural given that we skipped a release and had a lot of code pending to "post release". So please be vigilant especially if you use peer components and let us know about potential regressions ASAP. An anonymous poster asked a recurring question that we still don't have a great answer for, how to capture timed video. This is possible to do with audio using the MediaManager but it can't be done with video which can only use Capture. However, thanks to the new PeerComponent work we might expose low level camera API's including video/picture capture with viewfinder etc.
