v1.6.0

FFkit for the WORLD - Welcome Linux and macOS!

Added

• Linux hardware encoding support with VAAPI.
• macOS platform support groundwork, including GPU detection and window integration.

Changed

• The job pipeline was refactored around a cleaner event layer and backend flow.
• Output handling was hardened to keep custom destinations and reduce path issues.
• Default output naming is now safer by default.
• Simple mode and command handling were cleaned up internally to support the new architecture.
• Settings, select controls, and placeholder hints were refined for better usability.
• A redesigned UX/UI elements and better update popup with clearer visuals.

Fixed

• Custom output destinations now survive conversion start.
• Failed jobs now surface the real ffmpeg error line.
• Output-path edge cases are handled more safely.

Known issues

• macOS traffic lights, macOS GPU detection, and Linux VAAPI still need real hardware verification.
• macOS builds are still unsigned / not notarized.
• Linux ffmpeg is still built from a nightly master snapshot.
• Linux QSV is not handled yet and falls back to software encoding.
