+* The documentation was enhanced to try and full explain the discrepancy
+  between preview and capture resolution, and to provide some insight into
+  the underlying workings of the camera (`#23`_)
+* A new property was introduced for configuring the preview's layer at runtime
+  although this probably won't find use until OpenGL overlays are explored
