-CasparCG 2.0.4 Stable (as compared to 2.0.4 Beta 1)\r
-===================================================\r
+CasparCG Server 2.0.7 (as compared to CasparCG Server 2.0.7 Beta 2)\r
+===================================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+\r
+ o Added support for using a different configuration file at startup than the\r
+ default casparcg.config by simply adding the name of the file to use as the\r
+ first command line argument to casparcg.exe.\r
+ o Fixed various bugs.\r
+ o Upgraded FFmpeg to latest stable.\r
+\r
+Mixer\r
+-----\r
+\r
+ o Added support for rotation.\r
+ o Added support for changing the anchor point around which fill_translation,\r
+ fill_scale and rotation will be done from.\r
+ o Added support for perspective correct corner pinning.\r
+ o Added support for mipmapped textures with anisotropic filtering for\r
+ increased downscaling quality.\r
+ o Added support for cropping a layer. Not the same as clipping.\r
+\r
+AMCP\r
+----\r
+\r
+ o Added RESUME command to complement PAUSE. (Peter Keuter)\r
+ o To support the new mixer features the following commands has been added:\r
+\r
+ - MIXER ANCHOR -- will return or modify the anchor point for a layer\r
+ (default is 0 0 for backwards compatibility). Example:\r
+ MIXER 1-10 ANCHOR 0.5 0.5\r
+ ...for changing the anchor to the middle of the layer\r
+ (a MIXER 1-10 FILL 0.5 0.5 1 1 will be necessary to place the layer at the\r
+ same place on screen as it was before).\r
+\r
+ - MIXER ROTATION -- will return or modify the angle of which a layer is\r
+ rotated by (clockwise degrees) around the point specified by ANCHOR.\r
+\r
+ - MIXER PERSPECTIVE -- will return or modify the corners of the perspective\r
+ transformation of a layer. One X Y pair for each corner (order upper left,\r
+ upper right, lower right and lower left). Example:\r
+ MIXER 1-10 PERSPECTIVE 0.4 0.4 0.6 0.4 1 1 0 1\r
+\r
+ - MIXER MIPMAP -- will return or modify whether to enable mipmapping of\r
+ textures produced on a layer. Only frames produced after a change will be\r
+ affected. So for example image_producer will not be affected while the\r
+ image is displayed.\r
+\r
+ - MIXER CROP -- will return or modify how textures on a layer will be\r
+ cropped. One X Y pair each for the upper left corner and for the lower\r
+ right corner.\r
+\r
+Consumers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o Removed blocking_decklink_consumer. It was more like an experiment at best\r
+ and its usefulness was questionable.\r
+\r
+HTML producer\r
+-------------\r
+\r
+ o No longer tries to play all files with a . in their name.\r
+ (Georgi Chorbadzhiyski)\r
+ o Reimplemented using CEF3 instead of Berkelium, which enables use of WebGL\r
+ and more. CEF3 is actively maintained, which Berkelium is not. (Robert Nagy)\r
+ o Implements a custom version of window.requestAnimationFrame which will\r
+ follow the pace of the channel, for perfectly smooth animations.\r
+ o No longer manually interlaces frames, to allow for mixer fill transforms\r
+ without artifacts.\r
+ o Now uses CEF3 event loop to avoid 100% CPU core usage.\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+CasparCG Server 2.0.7 Beta 2 (as compared to CasparCG Server 2.0.7 Beta 1)\r
+==========================================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+\r
+ o Added sendings of OSC messages for channel_grid channel in addition to\r
+ regular channels.\r
+\r
+Producers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o FFmpeg: Reports correct nb_frames() when using SEEK (Thomas Kaltz III)\r
+ o Flash: Fixed bug wherer CG PLAY, CG INVOKE\r
+\r
+Consumers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o channel_consumer: Added support for more than one channel_consumer per\r
+ channel.\r
+ o decklink_consumer: Added support for a single instance of the consumer to\r
+ manage a separate key output for use with decklink duo/quad cards:\r
+\r
+ <decklink>\r
+ <device>1</device>\r
+ <key-device>2</key-device>\r
+ <keyer>external_separate_device</keyer>\r
+ </decklink>\r
+\r
+ ...in the configuration will enable the feature. The value of <key-device />\r
+ defaults to the value of <device /> + 1.\r
+ o synchronizing_consumer: Removed in favour of a single decklink_consumer\r
+ managing both fill and key device.\r
+ o streaming_consumer: A new implementation of ffmpeg_consumer with added\r
+ support for streaming and other PTS dependent protocols. Examples:\r
+\r
+ <stream>\r
+ <path>udp://localhost:5004</path>\r
+ <args>-vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -preset ultrafast -crf 25 -format mpegts -vf scale=240:180</args>\r
+ </stream>\r
+\r
+ ...in configuration or:\r
+\r
+ ADD 1 STREAM udp://localhost:5004 -vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -preset ultrafast -crf 25 -format mpegts -vf scale=240:180\r
+\r
+ ...via AMCP. (Robert Nagy sponsored by Ericsson Broadcasting Services)\r
+ o newtek_ivga_consumer: Added support for iVGA consumer to not provide channel\r
+ sync even though connected. Useful for iVGA clients that downloads as fast\r
+ as possible instead of in frame-rate pace, like Wirecast. To enable:\r
+\r
+ <newtek-ivga>\r
+ <provide-sync>false</provide-sync>\r
+ </newtek-ivga>\r
+\r
+ ...in config to not provide channel sync when connected. The default is\r
+ true.\r
+\r
+AMCP\r
+----\r
+\r
+ o Added support in ADD and REMOVE for a placeholder <CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS> which\r
+ will resolve to the connected AMCP client's IPV4 address.\r
+ o Fixed bug where AMCP commands split into multiple TCP packets where not\r
+ correctly parsed (http://casparcg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2480)\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+CasparCG Server 2.0.7 Beta 1 (as compared to 2.0.6 Stable)\r
+==========================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+ o FFmpeg: Upgraded to master and adapted CasparCG to FFmpeg API changes\r
+ (Robert Nagy sponsored by SVT)\r
+ o FFmpeg: Fixed problem with frame count calculation (Thomas Kaltz III)\r
+ o Fixed broken CG UPDATE.\r
+\r
+Producers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o New HTML producer has been created (Robert Nagy sponsored by Flemish Radio\r
+ and Television Broadcasting Organization, VRT)\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+CasparCG Server 2.0.6 Stable (as compared to 2.0.4 Stable)\r
+==========================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+ o iVGA: Allow for the server to work without Processing.AirSend.x86.dll to\r
+ prevent a possible GPL violation. It is available as a separate optional\r
+ download.\r
+ o iVGA: Only provide sync to channel while connected, to prevent channel\r
+ ticking too fast.\r
+ o FFmpeg: Fixed bug during deinterlace-bob-reinterlace where output fields\r
+ were offset by one field in relation to input fields.\r
+ o FFmpeg: Fixed bug in ffmpeg_consumer where an access violation occurred\r
+ during destruction.\r
+ o FFmpeg: Improved seeking. (Robert Nagy and Thomas Kaltz III)\r
+ o Frontend: Only writes elements to casparcg.config which overrides a default\r
+ value to keep the file as compact as possible.\r
+ o System audio: Patched sfml-audio to work better with oal-consumer and\r
+ therefore removed portaudio as the system audio implementation and went back\r
+ to oal.\r
+ o Flash: Changed so that the initial buffer fill of frames is rendered at a\r
+ frame-duration pace instead of as fast as possible. Otherwise time based\r
+ animations render incorrectly. During buffer recovery, a higher paced\r
+ rendering takes place, but still not as fast as possible, which can cause\r
+ animations to be somewhat incorrectly rendered. This is the only way though\r
+ if we want the buffer to be able to recover after depletion.\r
+ o Fixed race condition during server shutdown.\r
+ o OSC: outgoing audio levels from the audio mixer for each audio channel is\r
+ now transmitted (pFS and dBFS). (Thomas Kaltz III)\r
+ o Stage: Fixed bug where tweened transforms were only ticked when a\r
+ corresponding layer existed.\r
+ o Screen consumer: Added borderless option and correct handling of name\r
+ option. (Thomas Kaltz III)\r
+ o AMCP: CLS now reports duration and framerate for MOVIE files were\r
+ information is possible to extract. (Robert Nagy)\r
+ o Version bump to keep up with CasparCG Client version.\r

- in the TriCaster. <newtek-ivga /> element in config enables iVGA on a channel.\r

MIXER FILL, causing the image to be flipped.\r
