The workarounds were made because of conflicts with running multiple UI
threads at once on macOS, which macOS can't do very well, and would be
susceptible to crashes. This would cause crashes not only on startup
but seemingly at random when using the browser source on macOS. The
original "fix" was a hack to try to minimize UI code and browser UI code
from executing at the same time. The macOS initial scene loading was
deferred until all Qt-related and main window initialization was
completed. Although this worked to some extent to prevent conflicts, it
made it so that there was an initial period on startup where the entire
UI seemed "blank" for users, and it was still possible for the main UI
thread and the browser UI thread to clash, causing crashes seemingly at
random for users.
The external message pump method of CEF is the solution to the problem,
which is the method which allows the main UI thread to share events with
CEF. To do this, all CEF operations need to be performed in the UI
thread (Qt's main thread), and CefDoMessageLoopWork() needs to be called
when CefApp::OnScheduleMessagePumpWork callback is triggered. A number
of other issues had to be solved as well, such as CefBrowser references
getting "stuck" in the Qt event queue.
With this, macOS no longer needs to do the "deferred load" hack, and
browsers are now much more stable and no longer as susceptible to
seemingly random crashes, improving overall program stability when
browsers are used.
Add D3D/GL debug markers to make RenderDoc captures easier to tranverse.
Also add obs_source_get_name_no_null() to avoid boilerplate for safe
string formatting.

This solves the issue of users who close the primary dock widgets and
can't figure out how to get them back, who for whatever reason choose
not to read the message box when closing dock widgets that tells them
how to get it back. The users can still hide the primary dock widgets
via the View menu, but they can no longer close them via the [x] button
on the dock widget. This change does not apply to secondary dock
widgets, such as a chat window, stats, etc.
Closesobsproject/obs-studio#1804
Fixes a crash that can happen if you try to use the settings window
while in an even subloop, or if you try to close OBS while in an event
subloop. Continually retries (defers) the actions every one second
until the subloop has finished.
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.
Fixes an issue when Start Replay Button stays at checked state if stop
signal generated (hotkey event for example) instead of mouse click.

This should always be disabled if video output is active. Additionally,
the expression used to determine whether it should be enabled/disabled
was very unreadable.
