mrv2 v1.1.6

v1.1.6

This is a release full of goodies and bug fixes.

mrv2 v1.1.6 vs OpenRV 2.0 Speed Comparison:

Life Of Pi 4K 24 FPS Video and Audio Forwards and Backwards

Netflix Sparks 4K 60FPS with Audio except on RV

• ATTENTION:
  This version introduces a change in the way Cache Settings are used for
  movie files.
  The Settings->Gigabytes and the pair of "Settings->Read Ahead" and
  "Settings->Read Behind" are now decoupled.
  In the case of sequences, the Read Ahea and Read Behind will be automatically
  calculated from the Gigabytes settings as before.
  However, for movie files the timeline will only display the settings for
  Read Ahead/Behind, not the actual Gigabytes cache (which can be bigger than
  the read ahead/behind setting). The small Read Ahead and Read Behind is to
  allow playing 4K movies backwards.
  The Gigabytes setting of 0 is NO LONGER USED and will revert to
  4 Gb if set to 0.

• Fixed slow seeking on 4K movies. Now we beat OpenRV on all movies,
  seeking and reverse playback too.

• Improved performance of dragging Tile like the main divider between the
  view and timeline viewport, particularly on macOS.

• Made switching languages keep the UI preferences.

• Fixed cross cursor when entering the view area and coming from the draw
  tools or the drag bar.

• Made drag bar change color besides changing cursor to indicate you can
  drag it.

• Fixed NDI playback with audio which had gotten broken on v1.1.1.

• Improved .githook to run dos2unix to avoid dummy commits due to Windows'
  CR returns.

• Fixed window resizing calculation that had two ugly bugs in it (thanks
  to ManoloFLTK for having dealt with my ugly code!!!). Now resizing of
  the main window takes the dock properly into account.

• Fixed auto hiding of the pixel bar from the preferences switched is changed
  and okay'ed while the movie is still playing.

• Fixed seeking on the timeline on Linux sometimes getting the event
  incorrectly on X.

• Fixed starting a movie with loop on and playing stopped and then start
  playing it backwards.

• Refactored playback code and fixed playback buttons sometimes getting out of
  sync compared to the command-line flags passed.

• Created Preferences->User Interface/Thumbnails to select the places
  where thumbnails appear. Currently can be above the Timeline and in the
  Panels.

• Changing languages now stores and re-loads a session on a temporary location,
  so the interface does not reset to 0.

• Made the timeline thumbnail a tad smaller and more polished.

• Fixed a potentially nullptr pointer de-referencing when OpenGL accuracy was
  set to Automatic.

• Worked around an UI redraw issue on Wayland.

• Fixed timeline interaction (dragging clips in .otio timeline) in 1.1.5
  re-release.

• Fixed macOS issues when showing and hiding the timeline bar.

• Made View Window / Timeline Viewport divider highlight in a grayish color
  when it can be dragged.

• Made Panel divider highlight in a grayish color when it can be dragged.

• Fixed cursor when dragging on the Panel divider bar.

• Fixed cursor sometimes switching to the Arrow instead of the Cross cursor.
  This was maily a Linux issue.

• Fixed background transparent color being lighter on Wayland.

• Added Cache Use and Cache Percentage to HUD's Cache display.

• Made Edit button turn on/off automatically according to the size of the
  timeline viewport.

• Added default sensible Window settings for UI panels when in window mode.

• Made Window settings for UI panels get saved even if they were in panel mode.

• Fixed .otio markers display in timeline viewport.

• Fixed size of Timeline Viewport when in Edit mode on macOS. Now it resizes
  properly.

• v1.1.6 on Linux was re-released on May 16th, 22:00 Argentinian time (-3 GMT)
  to fix an X11 rebooting bug when going to Presentation Mode.
