v3.5.2

About This Version

This pre-release includes various fixes and overall improvements compared to the previous pre-release.

Version 3.5.x introduced support for custom integration controls—such as DDC, shell scripts, and URL-based actions—and new video filter capabilities for Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and streaming outputs, including self-streaming options to directly apply video effects to displays. Additionally, Video Filter Window was also introduced, accessible via the Tools menu.

Enhancements

• Optimized filter chain order for streaming outputs. (#4230)
• Comprehensive improvements to the Video Filter Window. (#4219)
• Unified UI for starting and stopping PIP and Video Filter Windows, removing redundant controls. (#4217)
• Changed behavior for hiding PIP windows; hiding now triggers stop and close actions for better user experience. (#1549)

Fixes

• Resolved performance degradation and choppiness in PIP and Video Filter Windows when related menus are open. (#4216)
• Fixed issue causing PIP and stream outputs to display a static image when switching from filter mode to non-filter mode. (#4229)
• Corrected problems with mouse halo effects and context menu functionality in streams depending on initial streaming method. (#4214)
• Addressed prolonged startup times for self-streaming with filters on primary displays, specifically impacting Intel Macs. (#4237)
• Removed unintended Finder artifacts from the application bundle. (#4238)
• Improved default min/max values for gloom/bloom video filters for better visual results. (#4236)
• Fixed positioning issues in menus for PIP, Stream, and Video Filter Windows when using third-party mice with traditional scroll wheels. (#4235)
• Corrected inconsistencies in Video Filter Window and Self-Stream behavior during transitions between HiDPI and LoDPI screen modes. (#4227)
• Fixed filter effect sizing discrepancies between HiDPI and LoDPI rendering modes in streams. (#4231)
• Made previously non-localizable UI elements available for localization. (#4228)
• Stream menu visibility settings now function independently of PIP settings, resolving configuration conflicts. (#4225)
• Corrected CLI argument parsing errors when parameter values include the equals (=) sign. (#4224)
• Removed unnecessary "warp-to anchor" option from the Video Filter Window context menu. (#4218)
