The rendering code here was one of the older code bases, which was riddled with bugs and leaks. The new code doesn't look pretty, but it works for the time being until a better solution is found or made. It should be able to handle HDR inputs now, but it may not be completely correct yet. This also fixes the double-free bug.
As an additional improvement, I've moved the allocation of the effect to a shared class which should reduce the memory usage slightly when multiple effects are in play. And now selecting nothing selects the filter target itself without infinitely adding references to the filter. Good enough in my eyes.
Fixes#819
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.
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.
This is a massive improvement to stability and safety when using the plugin, as all exceptions should now no longer be leaked into C controlled code, which can't actually handle exceptions at all.
Warnings fixed:
* Potentially throwing exception during library load.
* Possibly throwing function passed to C.
* Statement does nothing.
* Variable is initialized but not referenced.
* Variable overloads variable in parent scope.
This filter allows the use of another source as a mask, allowing complex filter graphs and trippy effects, such as creating a text source with three animated videos, each using a different color channel as the mask.
Fixes#18.
