postmarketOS in 2026-07: libcamera 0.7.2
In July 2026, libcamera 0.7.2 was released as part of postmarketOS. The update included fixes that allow for the shipping of color correction matrices in tuning files, with current tuning iterations for the imx363 and s5kjn1 cameras on devices like the Pixel 3a and FairPhone 5. Additionally, the GPU-ISP saw major performance improvements when using the dmabuf direct import path.
Camera selection for pipewire/libcamera was also fixed in mobile-config-firefox 5.4.1, allowing for video calls to work out of the box on compatible devices. Other improvements included bug fixes for Phosh, Cups, phosh-os-updater, and the Librem 5 kernel. The device landscape in postmarketOS changed with the Librem 5 kernel upgrade and the demotion of the pinephone from the community category to testing.
Victoria's collaboration with Valve to improve Steam performance on postmarketOS was highlighted, with a focus on the Ayaneo Pocket S2 device. The post also thanked several contributors for their patches and acknowledged the hard work of the entire team preparing for upcoming events and conferences.
