🪵 Changelog

⭐️ Here you can find all the most significant changes made or ongoing to the software!

Keep in mind this list isn't exhaustive, for the full thing, see commit history itself
Unlisted projects might have received indirect changes from others or the main lib

You can run this version right now from source!

General:

Added support for Intel Macs and Linux Arm builds to the releases
Actually fix FFmpeg automatic downloads on macOS (missing chmod)
Many improvements on the Docker images, and publish them on GHCR
- Vulkan now works inside docker for upscayl and ncnn upscalers
- Publish images of tags project-(latest,cpu,cu121)
Moderate code simplifications and refactoring throughout the codebase

DepthFlow:

Add Upscayl as an upscaler option
Fixed drag and drop of files due new lazy loading logic
Improve dolly preset phase start to be more accurate
Add stretch detection math on the shader for potential fill-in with gen ai
- Command is inpaint, options --black, --limit
Create a robust and fast DepthServer with FastAPI interface
DepthMaps are now cached using diskcache for safer and safer cross-process access
Rewrite the animation system to be more flexible and reliable
Add colors filters (sepia, grayscale, saturation, contrast, brightness)
Add transverse lens distortion filter (intensity, decay options)
Base scene duration is now 5 seconds
Internally interpolate isometric factor from 0.5 to 1 for better edges
Overhaul animation system to be more flexible and reliable:
- Completely serializable, changing any state parameter
Reorganize website examples section into their own pages
Cached depthmaps are now handled by diskcache for safer cross-process access
Implement an API with FastAPI, Uvicorn accessible via depthflow server:
- Fully serializable, simple json requests and responses
- Videos are cached, same-hash requests are served from it
- Configurable maximum simultaneous renders at any time

ShaderFlow:

Enforce weakref.proxy() on every module's .scene to allow for explicit gc.collect() to find circular references and clean up resources properly
Assign all module scenes with a weakref.proxy for better gc collection
Add an heuristic to use the headless context when exporting videos (TODO)
Fix progress bar creation before ffmpeg command log causing a bad line
Fix frametimer first frame being dt=0
Rename ShaderObject to ShaderProgram
Initial ground work on better metaprogramming and include system
Partial overhaul and heavily simplify ShaderTexture class:
- The track parameter is now a float ratio of the scene's resolution
ShaderTexture.track is now a float ratio of the scene's resolution
Drastically improve import times and consequently CLI startup times
Speed improvements moving to float64 on dynamic number + partial rewrite:
- Integral and derivatices are optional now, huge speedup as well
Fix many (dumb) memory leaks:
- Do not recreate imgui context on every scene init
- Release proxy render buffers that are piped to ffmpeg when done
- Release texture objects when ShaderTexture is garbage collected
- Enforce a gc.collect() on scene deletion for cyclic references
Base duration of the scenes are now configurable (10 seconds default)
Throw an exception when FFmpeg process stops unexpectedly
Fix sharing a global watchdog causing errors on many initializations
Cleanup scheduler before module setup, fixes scene reutilization bug

General:

Move away from Rye to uv tooling
⚠️ New minimum version of Python: 3.10
Bump managed Releases and From Source Python version to 3.12
Releases download links now points to a version than -latest.*
Move a lot of Broken.* global constants to a Broken.Runtime class
Unix releases are now a .tar.gz file to preserve executable attribute
Many improvements to BrokenTyper on REPL or non-REPL, direct or releases
Restyle the website to a more modern look; lots of improvements and additions:
- New Cloud Providers section on installation methods
- Add this monolithic changelog than using blog posts
Lots of releases management improvements. When running binaries without args:
- A version.tracker text file is initialized or updated on all PyApp installed versions's root, which contains the last time the binary was run. If this is older than a week by default, a prompt will appear to delete the old installed version to save disk space.
- Similarly, a version.check SQLite from requests-cache is created, which verifies the latest version of the software using PyPI endpoints each hour. A warning will be shown if a newer version is available; and a error will be shown if the current version is newer than the latest, which can indicate a yanked release or a time-traveller.
Potential fix on macOS automatic downloads of a FFmpeg binary
