Initial release of VmbPy - the Python API of the Vimba X SDK. VmbPy is the successor of VimbaPython. As such it shares many similarities, but in some places major differences exist. An overview of the differences between VimbaPython and VmbPy can be found in the migration guide, that is part of the Vimba X SDK documentation.
