Grouping properties by what they do improves the user experience as the user does not have to guess at what belongs to which part of the effect. Additionally toggleable groups automatically disable all child elements, so the user is not confused by them still being active.
While the long descriptions were useful, keeping the updated and translated is pretty much impossible. Technology moves fast and not everyone that translates the project knows a lot about technology.
Therefore the long descriptions have now been replaced with a button that opens the wiki page for the feature instead. This should drastically reduce the number of help cases, and improve the translation coverage at the same time.
* Fixed a bug preventing versions from being parsed correctly in CMake.
* Fixed a bug introduced between 0.9.3 and 0.10.0b1 which broke transparency support for Color Grading.
* Added support for direct rendering to some sources/filters/transitions.
* Added .pkg based Installer for MacOS, thanks to @cpyarger.
* Updated translations from Crowdin.
Enables users of the Mac Operating System to use an automated installer instead of the manual installation method which is prone to user errors. This is done via the use of "Packages", which generates a .pkg file according to the requirements we present it.
When the CMake script was rewritten, not much attention was put into the versioning code, resulting in odd behavior which was never found or fixed. For example, the automatic splitting of the suffix from the number never worked, and the build number was being stored in the wrong variable.
Due to OBS Studio not yet supporting ARM64 out of the box, we currently only provide builds for x86. Additionally, due to our use of C++17 (which we will not drop to C++14, don't bother asking), the minimum OSX version is 10.15.
Both Rec. 601 and sRGB looked extremely wrong before, resulting in weird or warped colors. Since it is very difficult to find up to date and accurate information on standards, we should simply go for what has the most widespread support.
* 3D Transform should now appear again.
* Automatic disabling of unsupported features should now work in CMake.
* Fixed a compilation error on some versions of GCC.
- #437 Use 'git describe --tags' for versioning.
- #439 Add support for overriding the automatically detected version.
- #454 Fixed new versioning code breaking when the tag is on the current commit.
- #427, #428 Fix Qt interaction before OBS Studio is actually ready.
- #452 Fixed building without updater but with UI.
- #447 Redesigned Color Grading to support two rendering modes:
- Direct Rendering applies the entire color grading function to every single pixel, and is thus more accurate, but much slower.
- #-Bit LUT Rendering first applies the color grading function to a LUT that varies in accuracy, and then uses that LUT to render the actual output instead, which is much faster but less accurate.
- #447 Optimized Direct Rendering in Color Grading to be up to 25% faster, while using 50% less VRAM.
- #440 Removed support for Ubuntu 18.04 as it ships seriously outdated versions of libraries we use.
There is hardly any reason for us to recalculate everything all the time. LUTs can cache the work once, and then re-use it every time necessary, drastically reducing the impact of Color Grading by almost 60% (on some GPUs even more). Additionally this fixes the negative gamma issue, which plagued the filter for a while.
In the future, once PR 4199 (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/4199) has been merged, we can cut away one intermediate rendering step currently required to make the effect work. Hopefully this will be with the 27.x release of OBS Studio.
