v1.6.0
fd2ef5e

Added

  • Acknowledgments section in README — credits for third-party libraries, algorithms, research, and fonts
  • Updated README feature table — compute rasterizer, 23 effects, MFCC/chroma audio, webcam/depth layers, scene cues
  • Webcam device selector — enumerate and switch between multiple cameras in webcam layer panel, obstacle panel, and layer add button
  • Persist selected webcam device in settings (remembered across restarts)
  • Preset save/restore resolves webcam by device name, with fallback to default
  • Inline "Camera not available" indicator in webcam panel when capture is dead

Changed

  • Clean build: eliminated all 62 compiler warnings in phosphor-app (unused vars, dead code suppressions, borrow scope fix, removed dead ParticleSourceRequest enum and recreate_draw_bind_groups method)
  • Suppressed 2 unexpected_cfgs warnings in vendored midir patch

Fixed

  • Webcam mirror checkbox now actually flips the image (was setting flag but shader never read it)
  • Webcam device switch failure no longer kills the active capture — restores previous device on error
  • Deduplicate webcam device list — Linux V4L2 exposes multiple nodes per physical camera (main, metadata, IR); now keeps only the lowest index per name
  • Input device enumeration now works when native loopback (PulseAudio/WASAPI) is active — microphones and other input devices appear in the device selector dropdown
  • Selecting a specific input device now correctly switches to cpal capture instead of re-entering the loopback path
  • Deduplicate input device names (ALSA exposes multiple nodes per card with identical descriptions)
  • Handle non-f32 sample formats (i16, i32) when opening input devices — fixes "Sample format 'f32' is not supported by hardware" error
  • Suppress JACK client library stderr spam ("Cannot connect to server") via null error/info handlers on Linux
  • Move device enumeration to background thread — eliminates ~200ms UI freeze from ALSA/JACK probing every scan cycle
