Release Notes

Version 2.4.0 [2026]

 * Added support for trixie 64bit.

 * Decode H264 into NV12 buffers. Added matching VPU assembly
   routines for smooth transpose (needed for 90/270 rotations)
   on Pi3/Pi4.

 * Internal optimization potentially reducing memory usage.

 * Added support for capturing smaller snapshots using
   '*preview/0' via TCP interface.

 * Added video:volume(zero_to_one) for setting video's
   output volume.

Version 2.3.0 [2025]

 * Support dual 4K.

 * Transpose fallback using NEON.

 * JPEG turbo can't decode CMYK. Use Wuffs as fallback.

 * Support Mesa 25: It reuses texture ids ("GL name reuse")
   which wasn't expected.

 * util.config_watch no longer ignores config changes
   if only device data updates.

 * Release video resource outside of main thread.

 * Optimize HDMI rendering of partially unused GL surface.

Version 2.2.0 [2025]

 * Various internal optimizations.

 * Uses custom VPU assembler code for faster 90/270
   rotations on KMS/DRM based playback on Pi3/Pi4.

 * Fixed RTSP stream playback potentially getting stuck.

 * Optional dithering using shaders to maybe avoid color
   banding.
