[0.8.1-alpha] - 2026-06-12

Fourteenth alpha release. A focused Windows-hardening pass: every Windows
bug reported against 0.8.0-alpha is fixed, so capture, streaming, recording,
audio and the virtual camera all work on a fresh Windows install. No new
features — stability and platform-correctness only.

Fixed

  • Windows stream/recording rendered a solid gray screen (#129). The
    FFmpeg 4.1 libx264/libx265 build in the MXE toolchain corrupts the stream to
    empty frames under both ABR (bit_rate) and VBV rate control — VBV
    underflow a few seconds in turned the picture to gray. The Windows software
    encoder now uses pure constant-quality CRF (no ABR/VBV), which the bisection
    proved encodes correctly. Other platforms keep ABR.
  • Windows captured the wrong audio as white noise (#137). The audio
    configuration window was never shown on Windows (so the capture card's audio
    endpoint couldn't be selected), and the WASAPI 32-bit-float mix format was
    read as int16 — white noise even with the right device. The window is now
    available, the float format is decoded correctly, and a local audio
    monitor
    (with a "Resync monitor" button) lets the operator hear the capture
    live, mirroring Linux/macOS.
  • Monochrome, horizontally-tiled capture on some devices (#135). Cards
    delivering NV12/UYVY/RGB32 (instead of the requested RGB24) were mislabeled
    and rendered as grayscale repeated ~3× across the top of the window. The
    DirectShow grabber now converts NV12, UYVY and RGB32 to RGB alongside the
    existing YUY2 path.
  • Virtual camera never appeared in OBS/Zoom/Teams (#133). The DirectShow
    filter registered only under the legacy filter category, never under
    CLSID_VideoInputDeviceCategory, so capture apps didn't list it. It is now
    registered (and unregistered) under the video-input category.
  • TLS errors listing the public stream directory on Windows (#130) — load
    the Windows OS trust store (ROOT + CA) into OpenSSL.
  • Installer created non-working shortcuts (#131) — fixed the Start Menu
    entry and added a Desktop shortcut.
  • ImGui window positions weren't kept across runs (#132) — persist the
    layout on shutdown.

Changed

  • The "no device" capture placeholder is now a calm dark gray instead of a
    jarring bright green (#134).
