+CasparCG 2.0.4 Stable (as compared to 2.0.4 Beta 1)\r
+===================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+\r
+  o Can now open media with digit only names.\r
+  o Misc stability and performance improvements.\r
+\r
+Video mixer\r
+-----------\r
+\r
+  o Conditional compilation of chroma key support and straight alpha output\r
+    support in shader (just like with blend-modes) because of performance impact\r
+    even when not in use on a layer/on a channel. New <mixer /> element added to\r
+    configuration for turning on mixer features that not everybody would want to\r
+    pay for (performance-wise). blend-modes also moved into this element.\r
+  o MIXER LEVELS interpretet arguments in the wrong order, so that gamma was\r
+    interpreted as max_input and vice versa.\r
+\r
+Consumers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+  o Replaced usage of SFML for <system-audio /> with PortAudio, because of\r
+    problems with SFML since change to static linkage. Also PortAudio seems to\r
+    give lower latency.\r
+  o Added support for NewTek AirPlay. Enables the use of the CasparCG Server\r
+    output as an input source in a NewTek TriCaster without requiring a video\r
+    card. <newtek /> element in config enables AirPlay on a channel.\r
+  o Decklink: Created custom decklink allocator for reducing memory footprint.\r
+\r
+Producers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+  o ffmpeg: Added support for arbitrary ffmpeg options in ffmpeg_producer.\r
+  o flash: No longer starts a flash player to service CG commands that means\r
+    nothing without an already running flash player.\r
+  o flash: globally serialize initialization and destruction of flash players,\r
+    to avoid race conditions in flash.\r
+  o flash: changed so that the flash buffer is filled with flash player\r
+    generated content at initialization instead of empty frames.\r
+\r
+OSC\r
+---\r
+\r
+  o Performance improvements.\r
+  o Never send old values to OSC reveivers, collect the latest value of each\r
+    path logged since last UDP send, and send the new UDP packet (to each\r
+    subscribing OSC receiver) with the values collected.\r
+  o Batch as many OSC messages as possible in an OSC bundle to reduce the number\r
+    of UDP packets sent. Breakup into separate packages if necessary to avoid\r
+    fragmentation.\r
+  o Removed usage of Microsoft Agents library (server ran out of memory after a\r
+    while) in favour of direct synchronous invocations.\r
