Fake cards can also be used for testing + Nageru without actually having any video cards available. + + - Add Metacube timestamping of every keyframe, for easier detection of + streams not keeping up. Works with the new timestamp feature of + Cubemap 1.3.1. Will be ignored (save for some logging) in older + Cubemap versions. + + - The included default theme has been reworked and cleaned up to be + more understandable and extensible. + + - Add more command-line options for initial audio setup. + + +Nageru 1.3.1, July 1st, 2016 + + - Various display bugfixes. + + +Nageru 1.3.0, June 26th, 2016 + + - It is now possible, given enough CPU power (e.g., a quad-core Haswell or + faster desktop CPU), to output a stream that is suitable for streaming + directly to end users without further transcoding. In particular, this + includes support for encoding the network stream with x264 (the stream + saved to disk is still done using Quick Sync), for Metacube framing (for + streaming to the Cubemap reflector), and for choosing the network stream + mux. For more information, see the README. + + - Add a flag (--disable-alsa-output) to disable ALSA monitoring output. + + - Do texture uploads from the main thread instead of from separate threads; + may or may not improve stability with NVIDIA's proprietary drivers. + + - When beginning a new video segment, the shutdown of the old encoder + is now done in a background thread, in order to not disturb the external + stream. The audio still goes into a somewhat random stream, though. + + - You can now override the default stream-to-card mapping with --map-signal= + on the command line. + + - Nageru now tries to lock itself into RAM if it has the permissions to do + so, for better realtime behavior. (Writing the stream to disk tends to + fill the buffer cache, eventually paging less-used parts of Nageru out.) + + - Various fixes for deadlocks, memory leaks, and many other errors. + + +Nageru 1.2.1, April 15th, 2016 + + - Images are now updated from disk about every second, so that it is possible + to update e.g. overlays during streaming, although somewhat slowly. + + - Fix support for PNG images. + + - You can now send SIGHUP to start a new cut instead of using the menu. + + - Added a --help option. + + - Various tweaks to OpenGL fence handling. + + +Nageru 1.2.0, April 6th, 2016 + + - Support for Blackmagic's PCI and Thunderbolt cards, using the official + (closed-source) Blackmagic drivers. (You do not need the SDK installed, though.) + You can use PCI and USB cards pretty much interchangeably. + + - Much more stable handling of frame queues on non-master cards. In particular, + you can have a master card on 50 Hz and another card on 60 Hz without getting + lots of warning messages and a 10+ frame latency on the second card. + + - Many new options in the right click menu on cards: Adjustable video inputs, + adjustable audio inputs, adjustable resolutions, ability to select card for + master clock. + + - Add support for starting with almost all audio processing turned off + (--flat-audio). + + - The UI now marks inputs with red or green to mark them as participating in + the live or preview signal, respectively. Red takes priority. (Actually, + it merely asks the theme for a color for each input; the theme contains + the logic.) + + - Add support for uncompressed video instead of H.264 on the HTTP server, + while still storing H.264 to files (--http-uncompressed-video). Note that + depending on your client, this might not actually be more CPU efficient + even on localhost, so be sure to check. + + - Add a simpler, less featureful theme (simple.lua) that should be easier to + understand for beginners. Themes are now also choosable with -t on the command + line. + + - Too many bugfixes and small tweaks to list. In particular, many memory leaks + in the streaming part have been identified and fixed. + + Nageru 1.1.0, February 24th, 2016 - Support doing the H.264 encoding on a different graphics device from the one
