0.4 - Basic Shaders

What's New:

• Added basic GLSL shader support for the GUI
• Added color options for the terminal version in settings
• As well as adding a setting to customize drawing chars in the terminal
• FPS Cap setting removed from GUI for now
• Fix some build issues
• bumped C++ std to c++17
• Many various fixes

What's Next:

• Better shader support
• Performance optimization for savgol filter
• Better FPS Cap method
• Maybe QT6 support (Wayland version still sucks)

More on shaders:

• New "graphics" tab in the GUI for settings shaders settings
• Includes time and power modifiers
• 2 shaders added to start/reference with "space.frag" and "bounce.vert" (plus the default shaders)

Wayland users:

Continute using XWayland for now.
Just set the Environmental Variables as:
DISPLAY=:0 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

0.3 - GUI Reborn

The long awaited GUI is here!

Along with more customization and improvements.

What's New:

• some proper UI for the GUI
• new "poll rate" setting
• new draw modes (bars/points) [GUI only]
• new draw dimensions settings [GUI only]
• new min plot height setting [GUI only]
• savgol window size is relative again
• color is fixed and is now a 8bit uint 0-255 [GUI only]
• settings.cfg reworked
• many various fixes along the way

What's Next:

• shaders probably
• porting some GUI settings to the terminal version

A note for Wayland users:

Qt Vulkan on Wayland is FULL of bugs.

Here's just a taste:

• Background transparency doesn't work
• When visibility is lost, it freezes
• Going "frameless" will also break it

So I suggest using XWayland for now.

Just set the Environmental Variables as:
DISPLAY=:0 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

Final note:

The GUI isn't final!

There might be minor or radical changes as the project grows.
But at the very least, I hope this is a major step up from ReVidia's GUI.

0.2 - GUI Part 1

This is the first half of the "GUI" version.
Featuring Vulkan as it's main renderer.
Besides audio device selection, there is no proper "GUI" or user interface.

What's New:

• Stupid fast rendering of the visualizer (depending on your GPU)
• Revamped settings file, now with custom keybindings

What's Next:

• Some proper UI for the GUI

Known Issues :

• Alpha transparency of the background color on Wayland (QT might be at fault)
• Freezing of the window after being off screen
• The color settings for the GUI scales weird
• No message for the GUI when changing settings with keybindings (like with the terminal version)
• On startup, the visualizer might not be visible (resizing the window usually fixes this)
• The old "settings.cfg" is completely incompatible (expect this to happen again later)

0.1.1 - Audio Rewrite

This should of been part of 0.1
Relying on modifying ".asoundrc" was not cool.

What's new:

• Audio data collecting as been rewritten.
• PortAudio is now only optional.

Notes:

• You must have PulseAudio and/or PortAudio.

0.1 - A Evolution from ReVidia

This is the first stable enough release of ReCidia.
A reimagined ReVidia(Python).

About the Release:

• Terminal ONLY release before the GUI.
• It's not just ReVidia converted directly to C/C++.
• Good amount of QOL improvements compared to ReVidia's terminal version.

What's Next:

• GUI is going to be done with QT again with no QML.
• I will attempt to use Vulkan for drawing instead of relying on QT.
• The UI will NOT be a copy pasta from ReVidia, I plan to overhaul.

Notes:

• The cool missing features from ReVidia will have to wait.
• I have no timetable when the GUI will be finished.
• It doesn't help that QT6 is just around the corner, so I must accommodate.
