3.1.0 (2023-09-25)

VisionCamera 3.1.0 features a ton of changes including an all new devices API (useCameraDevice(..)), a new formats API (useCameraFormat(..)), USB Cameras support, resizeMode for the Preview, performance improvements, buffer compression, and an all new rewritten documentation!

I spent around 100 hours on this release, so if you appreciate my work please consider 💖 sponsoring me on GitHub or 🍪 buy me a Ko-Fi :)
