- JpegQuality: both cameraJpegQuality and setJpegQuality() have been removed, because
they were working only with specific setups. We'll use the default quality provided
by the camera engine.
- capturePicture: renamed to takePicture()
- captureSnapshot: renamed to takePictureSnapshot()
- startCapturingVideo: renamed to takeVideo(). Signature changed from long to int.
- CropOutput: both cameraCropOutput and setCropOutput() have been removed. If you want
your output to be cropped to match the view bounds, use the *snapshot() APIs.
- ExtraProperties: this has been removed.

- getSnapshotSize(): removed. The size of snapshots (pictures and videos) is equal to
the preview size as returned by getPreviewSize().
- onVideoTaken(): now passing a VideoResult. Use VideoResult.getFile() to access the video file.
