This is useful + for push, and for bad networks (e.g. 4G). + + - Fix various deprecation warnings with newer FFmpeg + (Nageru should now be warning-free with FFmpeg 6.0). + This also means that Nageru now requires FFmpeg 5.1 + or newer. + + - Fix crashes with newer SVT-AV1. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.2.3, July 24th, 2023 + + - Fix startup crashes with newer libsrt. + + - Fix an issue where checkable theme menus would get the wrong + starting state. Reported by Stefano Rivera. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.2.2, July 15th, 2023 + + - Fix build breaks with newer GCC and SVT-AV1. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.2.1, April 17th, 2023 + + - Work around an issue with OpenGL on Wayland, causing all + displays to be blank. + + - Several fixes related to video inputs; in particular: + - Fix crashes when the master clock goes faster than 60 Hz + (which could happen primarily if an SRT input is the master). + - Be more resilient to errors in hardware video decoding + when the stream starts out broken (e.g., not on a key frame) + but recovers. + - Multiple fixes related to hardware acceleration on nVidia. + - Incoming frames of too high resolution (larger than 8 MB) + will be refused instead of crashing. Such videos may be + supported better in the future. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.2.0, November 15th, 2022 + + - Support AV1 output, via SVT-AV1. Note that this is still somewhat + experimental, not the least because SVT-AV1's streaming support + is not as mature as x264. + + - Remove the dependency on QCustomPlot. + + - Expose BlurEffect and UnsharpMaskEffect to the theme. + + - Clean up several rarely-unused command-line flags: + - All the 10-bit flags are now collapsed to --10-bit. + - Remove --http-uncompressed-video. + - Remove the x264 VBV flags. + - Hide --x264-speedcontrol-verbose. + - Hide --no-flush-pbos. + + - Make a workaround for audio monitoring output under PipeWire. + + - Update CEF compatibility (tested with CEF 107). + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.1.0, February 6th, 2022 + + - Support unsynchronized HDMI/SDI output. + + This is for if you want just a monitor output without synchronizing + your entire stream chain to the output card (ie., you want to keep + some other camera as the master). Sound support is untested, and is + probably going to crackle a fair bit. + + There's no GUI support for changing this currently (you enable it + by using --output-card-unsynchronized and then using HDMI/SDI output + as usual). + + - Support sending a separate x264 encode to disk + (--separate-x264-disk-encode and associated --x264-separate-disk-* + flags). + + This is useful for machines that don't have Quick Sync, but where + you want to have an archival copy on disk in higher quality + than what you streamed out. + + - Fix compilation issues with FFmpeg 5.0. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.0.2, September 3rd, 2021 + + - Fix issues with various upstream software: + DeckLink 11.7 (and newer) drivers, FFmpeg 4.4, newer CEF. + + - Add a --no-transcode-video flag to Kaeru. + + This is useful primarily if you want Kaeru to rewrap the stream into + Metacube (for Cubemap) and do nothing else with it. Only H.264 + is supported for now, since everything else assumes that. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.0.1, July 9th, 2020 + + - Upgrade DeckLink SDK to 10.11.4. + + - Various bugfixes. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 2.0.0, June 2nd, 2020 + + - Native support for SRT inputs; by default, Nageru will listen + for incoming connections on port 9710 and treat them as hotplugged + cameras. They do not need any special handling in the theme, + and can pick up e.g. the SRT stream ID to be used in the UI. + They generally have fewer limitations than using an srt:// URL + on an FFmpeg capture; e.g., there is no forced scaling, and they + can be used as master clock (although this is not generally + recommended). + + For license reaseons, please be sure that libsrt does not link to + OpenSSL when building Nageru. + + - You do no longer need to set up a fixed amount of capture cards + at startup; by default, at least two will be created for you + (fake capture cards) as before, but if you have more, or hotplug + more, more slots will be automatically available, and will go + away (not take up any resources like fake capture cards do) + when unplugged. If you wish to artificially limit the maximum + number of cards like before, you can use the new switch + --max-num-cards. + + - MJPEG handling now includes 4:2:0 support in both Nageru and + Futatabi, as SRT inputs are often 4:2:0 and not 4:2:2. + + - FFmpeg capture cards (including SRT cards) now use VA-API + hardware acceleration for decoding whenever available. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.9.3, April 12th, 2020 + + - Support (video-only) V4L2 output. The intended use case is output into + v4l2loopback to get into videoconferencing or the likes: + + sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms + sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=2 card_label='Nageru loopback' max_width=1280 max_height=720 exclusive_caps=1 + nageru --v4l-output /dev/video2 + + Start Nageru before any readers. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.9.2, March 29th, 2020 + + - Support handling white balance directly in Nageru, without themes + manually inserting a WhiteBalanceEffect or handling set_wb(). + To use it, call scene:add_white_balance() instead of + scene:add_effect(WhiteBalanceEffect.new()). If using this functionality, + white balance will be properly propagated to the MJPEG feed and + through Futatabi, so that replays get the correct white balance. + Futatabi's UI will still be uncorrected, though. + + - Make it possible to siphon out a single MJPEG stream, for remote + debugging, single-camera recording, single-camera streaming via + Kaeru or probably other things. The URL for this is /feeds/N.mp4 + where N is the card index (starting from zero). + + - The theme can now access some audio settings; it can get (not set) + number of buses and names, get/set fader volume, get/set mute, + and get/set EQ parameters. + + - In Futatabi, it is now possible to set custom source labels, with + the parameter --source-label NUM:LABEL (or -l NUM:LABEL). + + - When the playback speed changes in Futatabi, ease into the new speed. + The easing period is nominally 200 ms, but it will be automatically + shortened or lengthened (up to as much as two seconds in extreme + cases, especially involving very slight speed change) if this + helps getting back into a cadence of hitting the original frames. + This can mean significant performance improvements when ramping + from higher speeds back into 100%. + + - Updates for newer versions of CEF (tested with Chrome 80). + + - Various bugfixes and performance improvements. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.9.1, November 17th, 2019 + + - Support disabling optional effects if a given other effect is _enabled_ + (typically for mutually exclusive effects). + + - Make it possible for the theme to override the status line, by declaring + a function format_status_line() in the theme. Inspired by a C++ patch by + Alex Thomazo in the Breizhcamp repository. + + - Various bugfixes. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.9.0, July 20th, 2019 + + - Significant reworking of the theme engine: Chains (now called scenes) + can now instantiate different versions behind-the-scenes instead of the + user having to worry about input types, low/high quality, or replacing + effects with others. Menus can have submenus and checkboxes. Finally, some + callbacks, such as num_channels(), have been replaced with easier-to-use + imperative functions, ie., an explicit call to Nageru.set_num_channels(N). + + See the documentation for more information, or the included themes, + which have been ported to the new interfaces. Existing themes will continue + to run without modification, but the old interfaces are deprecated. + + Martin Sandsmark contributed a bugfix to this work. + + - Support cross-compilation. Patch from Helmut Grohne. + + - Kaeru now has a parameter --disable-audio for transcoding streams + with no audio. + + - Various bugfixes. In particular, work around an issue where Mesa's shader + cache interacts with Qt's EGL support to create a confusing crash with + “vertex shader lacks `main'”. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.6, April 19th, 2019 + + - Filenames for the recordings are now without colons; it caused + too much problems with various software, including most players. + + - Various bugfixes. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.5, March 30th, 2019 + + - Experimental support for audio in Futatabi: The MJPEG export from + Nageru now supports audio, and Futatabi will store it and play it + back. Audio is currently only supported when playing at 100% speed + (no pitch shift or time stretching), and there is no audio output + to the Futatabi operator. + + - Significant optimizations to MJPEG encoding, both when in use and when + not in use. + + - Various bugfixes. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.4, March 11th, 2019 + + - Various bugfixes, in particular for 32-bit platforms. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.3, March 10th, 2019 + + - Allow controlling video mixing from MIDI events. Adapted from a patch + by Yann Dubreuil, from the BreizhCamp repository. + + - Use ALSA hardware timestamps for input; gives more stable delay. + Patch by Yann Dubreuil, from the BreizhCamp repository. + + - For FFmpeg inputs, add an option for playing as fast as possible + (set rate >= 10.0). + + - In Futatabi, support queueing and playing clips with no cue-out point. + This opens up for new and even faster UI workflows. + + - Many bugfixes. + + +Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.2, January 19th, 2019 + + - Futatabi now supports MIDI controllers like Nageru, including an editor + and a sample mapping for the Behringer CMD PL-1. + + - Futatabi now supports changing master speed during play, both via a + MIDI controller and the GUI. + + - Various bugfixes. + + Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.1, December 30th, 2018 - Futatabi can now communicate its queue status through a subtitle track,
