v0.3.8

Added

  • Webcam input layers — live camera feed as a compositing layer (--features webcam), cross-platform via nokhwa (v4l2/AVFoundation/MediaFoundation)
    • Capture thread with bounded channel, automatic frame drain (latest-only)
    • "+ Webcam" button in layer panel, webcam controls panel (device name, resolution, mirror, disconnect)
    • Preset save/load with webcam device reconnection
  • ParticleSystem::set_compute_shader() and clear_customization() for runtime particle shader management (infrastructure for future particle design system)
  • Combined "All Media" file filter — media file picker defaults to showing all supported types (images + video) when video feature is enabled

Changed

  • Image scatter shader — spring-damper physics with hardcoded constants, random scatter direction on beat, skip transparent particles, remove audio color shift (preserve original image colors)
  • CI: add libclang-dev dependency, clippy/test/build steps for webcam feature, release builds include webcam feature

Fixes

  • Fix NDI runtime discovery on macOS — remove non-existent versioned dylib names, skip exists() check (works around NDI 6.0.0 installer permissions bug), add /opt/homebrew/lib + NDI_RUNTIME_DIR_V6/V5 env vars, show searched paths in UI when not found
  • Webcam robustness — validate camera access before spawning capture thread (user-friendly EBUSY error), catch libjpeg panics on corrupted MJPEG frames (skip frame instead of dying), detect dead capture threads with status bar notification, clean up capture when deleting webcam layers
