Notable changes in this release:

Library:

• Audio can now be recorded in a separate high speed pass with variable sdr_audio_only.
• Fixed an error message about variant overload potentially showing wrong.
• Fixed issue in Black Mesa and Team Fortress 2 having different console variable structure so values wouldn't save.
• Fixed potential synchronization issue when launching where the virtual memory was freed too early.
• Only information about loaded extensions will now show.

Launcher UI:

• Added enforcement of various criteria for extension dependencies.
• The needed directory structure for extensions are now created if they didn't exist.

Launcher CLI:

• Allowed the window to be maximized.
• Fixed issue where selecting text while it's being added would remove or paint the next message.
• Fixed potential synchronization issue when launching where the virtual memory was freed too early.

Extensions:

• Added import GetCommandArgumentFullValue.
• Added an overload to SDR::Extension::FindExport.
• Added dependencies for extensions.
• Changed the extension property sheet to set static runtime automatically.
• Added sorting groups to objects in ExtensionConfig.json.

Preview Window:

• Fixed potential synchronization issue if the window was closing.

Hooking:

• Function SDR::Hooking::GetVariantFromJson now requires an upper bound.
• Function SDR::Hooking::GenericHookVariantInit now returns which variant it chose to use.

Direct3D 11:

• Added functions to unset the bound resources.
• Shader blob creation function has been moved into SDR::D3D11::BlobData::Make.

Logging:

• The log functions SDR::Log::Message, SDR::Log::MessageColor and SDR::Log::Warning no longer takes an std::string as parameter.

String:

• Following the deprecation of <codecvt>, functions SDR::String::FromUTF8 and SDR::String::ToUTF8 are now implemented with the recommended methods.

A new extension called Direct2DContext was created in this release. With this extension you can use an already existing Direct2D/DirectWrite context for other extensions.

The included extensions Preview Window and Direct2D Context are now disabled by default.

Audio has been added back in this release since a sufficiently high speed method has been implemented.

Build instructions are now in the readme for anyone that wants to build the solution. Batch files have been added too which makes batch building extensions easier.

Notable changes in this release:

Library:

• Added change in YUV420 shader (https://github.com/YaLTeR/hl-capture/commit/cf2310e2f165c004dd80847a24fa20ad54cbc21f#diff-5943395d76ee01ec9cdaa0905f1ba5f9).

Launcher CLI:

• Made a completely new window for displaying launcher details that doesn't have the extreme limitations of CMD. With this new window there can be colored text as well as proper text selection.

Extensions:

• Added function SDR::Extension::FindExport to help find exports in other extensions for communication.

Text formatting With the new Launcher CLI you can also use colored text during setup for extensions. Functions SDR_Initialize, SDR_ConfigHandler and SDR_Ready can output to the Launcher CLI window. Available formats are: {white}, {dark}, {red}, {green}, {blue}, {string}, {number}.

Sorting in game config With sort groups it's now possible to order the modules by groups even through inheritance. The groups in order are Pointer, Info, Function, User1, User2, User3, User4. If no group is selected, the module will be put at the end without a specific order.
