This new scale filter computes pixels by weighing the coverage area of
source pixels over the target pixel. This algorithm works well for both
upsampling and downsampling, but was mainly designed to upscale
high-quality low-resolution sources like RGB/HDMI retro consoles. I've
heard of people using odd workarounds like scaling up to very high
resolutions before scaling back down to preserve pixel shartpness. This
algorithm directly addresses this use-case in a much more direct
fashion.
The Area scale filter does a better job of preserving the thickness of
thin features than the Point filter.
The Area scale filter does not look at source pixels that lie outside
of the target pixel, leading to a much sharper image than Bilinear,
Bicubic, and Lanczos filters.
This filter should interpolate pixels in linear space, but OBS is not
equipped to do that at the moment.
libobs: Add GPU effect, and wire up scene serialization.
obs-filters: Add Area as an option for scale_filter.
UI: Add Area as an option for both scene items, and canvas downscaling.
Users don't realize that dockable windows can be closed (hidden) and can
be shown again via the View menu. This adds an explicit warning when
the user first closes a dockable window for their first time. In future
versions, this should be changed to a dialog box with a "Do not show
again" checkbox.
This was a feature that was available when you chose custom RTMP server;
it was not considered when making the new version. Note: it looks
unslightly, but it works for now.
Adds the ability to connect/login to an account via the settings and
auto-configuration dialogs. Checks registered Auth objects, and if the
Auth object matches the currently selected service in the settings
window or auto-configuration dialog, will display "connect account"
buttons for the user to be able to click (which are optional, they can
still use stream keys if they'd prefer).
Adds a function for initializing browser and cookies in a separate
thread while, and while waiting for it to complete, show a dialog
stating that the browser is currently being loaded. Allows the ability
to safely prevent the user from taking any action without actually
freezing up the UI thread.
Makes it so that services can have custom handling on a per-service
basis. The bottom part of the service pane is now a stacked widget
which can now be customized for different types of services
(particularly OAuth services).
The "Custom" service has been moved, and is now an item called "Custom"
in the "Services" combo box. This simplifies the stream page of
auto-configuration and removes an unnecessary widget. Overall a minor
but nice slimline/improvement on user experience.
This changes the remux dialog to support a collection of input/output
pairs, presented as a QTableView. Standard Qt icons are used to
indicate the state of each entry during a remux operation. Drag/drop
support is added to populate the list quickly. Both Dark and Rachni
themes are updated to make QTableView look reasonable.
Relevant text is added in the localization files.

The ability to use multiple separate QSV encoders was added in Pull
Request #1341 (commit 3a08e858a68aeecaf6499973b55988db5a903ae5).
This error message was left in place, so let's remove it now.
This commit adds the ability to select a background color for a
scene-item, whether it's a custom color or one of eight presets.
As this is an initial implementation, it lacks theme customizability,
and it also lacks the ability for the user to set their own preset
colors, so only the hard-coded 8 are available.
