v2.7.0
Notes
- This release drops support for Windows, which means VCS is now supported only on Linux. If you'd like to maintain Windows support, you can fork the previous release, 2.6.1.
Compatibility
This release has been tested to some extent on the following platforms:
| OS | Capture device | Signal type | Works? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linux 5.13 (Ubuntu 20.04) | Datapath VisionRGB-E1S | Digital | Yes |
Changelog
- Removed support for Windows. VCS is now Linux-only.
- Increased maximum capture resolution from 1920 × 1200 to 4096 × 4096.

- Removed the pre-allocated memory cache. VCS will now use as little or as much memory as needed, though the difference is likely not noticeable in normal use.

- Removed all video recording functionality.
- The release and non-release builds are now more cleanly separated, with the non-release build compiling with -O0 and -g, while the release build compiles with -O2.
- This does rely on some assumptions about qmake's default flags, so drop an issue report if you find it using inconsistent values for -O and -g on your setup.
- Added sanitizers to the non-release build. They mostly replace the memory checking that was previously done by the now-removed memory cache implementation.
- Small reorganization of the output window's context menu.
- Removed the output FPS indicator from the output window's title bar. You can still find this info in the signal info dialog (Ctrl+S)
