+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
+\r
+AMCP\r
+----\r
+\r
+ o Added RESUME command to complement PAUSE. (Peter Keuter)\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
+\r
+\r
+\r
+CasparCG Server 2.0.4 Stable (as compared to 2.0.4 Beta 1)\r
+==========================================================\r
+\r
+General\r
+-------\r
+ o Can now open media with file names that only consist of digits.\r
+ (Cambell Prince)\r
+ o Miscellaneous stability and performance improvements.\r
+\r
+Video mixer\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 or on a channel. New <mixer /> element added\r
+ to configuration for turning on mixer features that not everybody would want\r
+ to pay for (performance-wise.) blend-modes also moved into this element.\r
+ o Fixed bug where MIXER LEVELS interpreted arguments in the wrong order, so \r
+ that gamma was interpreted as max_input and vice versa.\r
+\r
+Consumers\r
+---------\r
+ o Added support for NewTek iVGA, which enables the use of CasparCG Server \r
+ fill+key output(s) as input source(s) to a NewTek TriCaster without \r
+ requiring video card(s) in the CasparCG Server machine, or taking up inputs\r
+ in the TriCaster. <newtek-ivga /> element in config enables iVGA on a\r
+ channel. (Robert Nagy sponsored by NewTek)\r
+ o Decklink: Created custom decklink allocator to reduce the memory footprint.\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
+\r
+Producers\r
+---------\r
+ o FFmpeg: Added support for arbitrary FFmpeg options/parameters\r
+ in ffmpeg_producer. (Cambell Prince)\r
+ o Flash: Flash Player 11.8 now tested and fully supported.\r
+ o Flash: No longer starts a Flash Player to service CG commands that mean\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
+ o Performance improvements. (Robert Nagy sponsored by Boffins Technologies)\r
+ o Never sends old values to OSC reveivers. Collects the latest value of each\r
+ path logged since last UDP send, and sends the new UDP packet (to each\r
+ subscribing OSC receiver) with the values collected. (Robert Nagy sponsored\r
+ by Boffins Technologies)\r
+ o Batches as many OSC messages as possible in an OSC bundle to reduce the \r
+ number of UDP packets sent. Breakup into separate packages if necessary to \r
+ avoid fragmentation. (Robert Nagy sponsored by Boffins Technologies)\r
+ o Removed usage of Microsoft Agents library (Server ran out of memory after a\r
+ while) in favour of direct synchronous invocations.\r
