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.
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.
Ignoring the data parameter during initialization results in duplication and some third party plugins not working as expected, so it's better to not ignore it.
Fixes#315
Changes applied:
* Moved utility files to /util/.
* Removed unused #includes.
* Removed unused ::ffmpeg::tools function.
* Removed unused variables.
* Fixed missing parentheses in the version macro.
* Fixed missing override on virtual function overrides and removed unnecessary virtual keyword from them.
* Disabled additional warning for ATL headers on MSVC only.
* Replaced direct printf parameters with their macro equivalent.
* Replaced C-style casts with C++-style casts.
* Applied clang-format again after an earlier change to the CMake file broke the integration for it.
The high priority CUDA stream causes libOBS to be at a lower priority than the tracking, which is not what we want. Instead we want tracking to be incomplete in those cases, rather than slowing down encoding and other things.
Geometry updates are also now done once per frame instead of one per tracking update, which should improve the smoothness without affecting performance too much. Additionally all tracking info is now in the 0..1 range, which drastically simplifies some math - especially with texture coordinates.
To deal with tracking and updates being asynchronous, a very simple approximation of movement velocity has been added. This is mostly wrong, but it can bridge the gap where tracking updates are slower, as the values are all filtered anyway.
Adds a new CMake option "ENABLE_PROFILING" which enables all CPU and GPU performance profiling available in StreamFX for tracking what's actually causing things to be slow.
The new libOBS API allows us to directly access the underlying API instead of having to mess around in memory. By using it we can avoid crashing in case the compiler for it is different, or in case the actual back end structure changes.
Additionally the mostly unimplemented and unused options have also been removed, which streamlines the use of this class even further and reduces both shader and code complexity.
Finally by optimizing the use of the internal render target we can achieve a speed up of up to 3000% over the old way, allowing for many more mipmapped filters.
Through converting the code to a threaded asynchronous approach, the libOBS video renderer no longer has to wait on our tracking code to run, and we can enjoy a little bit of extra calculation time before we actually have to do anything.
However due to the remaining synchronization with the Direct3D11/OpenGL context, it is not entirely safe to spend a full frame tracking as libOBS will then start skipped/dropping frames. Even though the priority of the stream is now increased, this still means that we can't just sit around and have to quickly finish all work.

Previously sources had to manually implement migration code, which resulted in unresolvable regression issues due to the lack of version and commit tagging. With the new migration code, all sources automatically have this version and commit tagging at all times, and as such can now have a temporary regression fixed without the user needing to change any values manually.
This header includes all common data between headers used in the plugin. This should improve cross-platform compiling support whenever possible, as all platform-dependent common includes and defines can be done here.
