+CasparCG 2.1.0 (w.r.t 2.0 Stable)\r
+=================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+\r
+ o 64 bit!\r
+ o Major code refactoring:\r
+ + Mixer abstraction so different implementations can be created. Currently\r
+ CPU mixer and GPU mixer (previously the usage of the GPU was ) exists.\r
+ + Flattened folder structure for easier inclusion of header files.\r
+ + Old Windows specific AsyncEventServer class has been replaced by platform\r
+ independent implementation based on Boost.Asio.\r
+ + Pimpl classes are now stack allocated with internal shared_ptr to\r
+ implementation, instead of both handle and body being dynamically\r
+ allocated. This means that objects are now often passed by value instead\r
+ of via safe_ptr/shared_ptr, because they are internally reference counted.\r
+ + Protocol strategies are now easier to implement correctly, because of\r
+ separation of state between different client connections.\r
+ + Much more...\r
+ o Data files are now stored in UTF-8 with BOM. Latin1 files are still\r
+ supported for backwards compatibility\r
+ o Commands written in UTF-8 to log file but only ascii characters to console.\r
+ o Added supported video formats:\r
+ + 720p2398 (not supported by decklink)\r
+ + 720p2400 (not supported by decklink)\r
+ + 1080p5994\r
+ + 1080p6000\r
+ + 720p30 (not supported by decklink)\r
+ + 720p29.976 (not supported by decklink)\r
+\r
+OSC\r
+---\r
+\r
+ o Technical information about the current state of the server is published via\r
+ the OSC protocol via different subjects.\r
+ o Examples of information published:\r
+ + Different performance metrics.\r
+ + Producer names\r
+ + Producer specific information\r
+ + Consumer names.\r
+ + Consumer specific information.\r
+\r
+CLK\r
+---\r
+\r
+ o CLK protocol implementation can now serve more than one connection at a time\r
+ safely.\r
+ o Added timeline support to the CLK protocol.\r
+ o Refactored parts of the CLK parser implementation.\r
+\r
+Consumers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o Consumers on same channel now invoked asynchronously to allow for proper\r
+ sync of multiple consumers.\r
+ o System audio consumer:\r
+ + No longer provides sync to caspar.\r
+ + Pushes data to openal instead of being callbacked by SFML when data is\r
+ needed.\r
+ o Screen consumer:\r
+ + Support for multiple screen consumers on the same channel\r
+ + No longer spin-waits for vsync\r
+ + Now deinterlaces to two separate frames so for example 50i will no longer\r
+ be converted to 25p but instead to 50p for smooth playback of interlaced\r
+ content.\r
+\r
+Producers\r
+---------\r
+\r
+ o Image scroll producer:\r
+ + Field-rate motion instead of frame-rate motion with interlaced video\r
+ formats. This can be overridden by giving the PROGRESSIVE parameter.\r
+ + SPEED parameter now defines pixels per frame/field instead of half pixels\r
+ per frame. The scrolling direction is also reversed so SPEED 0.5 is the\r
+ previous equivalent of SPEED -1. Movements are done with subpixel accuracy\r
+ + Fixed incorrect starting position of image.\r
+ + Rounding error fixes to allow for more exact scrolling.\r
+ + Added support for motion blur via a new BLUR parameter\r
+ + Added PREMULTIPLY parameter to support images stored with straight alpha.\r
