Note that since this is an odd numbered release its an unstable
experimental one. Its part of the integration of IVTV into V4L2 for
eventual inclusion into the kernel. Only attempt this if you REALLY know
what you are doing and have a known working system to fall back to.

In any case, subscribe to IVTV-DEV list to know whats really happening and
so you can provide feedback to the developers if you feel competent to try
this release.
