* Added a "pixel format" option to the Decklink source
* Image sources will now check for file changes and automatically reload their files if the file is changed
* Greatly improved startup time
* The program now only disables sleep/screensaving when streaming/recording is active, or when a fullscreen projector is open
* Changed the "center source" shortcut from Ctrl-C to Ctrl-D (Ctrl-C is used for clipboard copy)

Windows:
* Fixed an issue with the input audio capture which would causse mics to sometimes have strange sync issues
* Fixed a performance issue with D3D9 games on the new windows 10 update

OBS Multiplatform 0.12.0

General Changes:
* Added pre-configured recording quality presets to simple output mode for easy recording-specific configuration
* Added stream delay feature (in advanced settings).  If spontaneously disconnected during a delayed stream, it will preserve the point of disconnection (optional, on by default), and start off where it left off at the cost of increasing delay until reconnected.
* Added automatic data file backup as well as methods to prevent user data file corruption due to things such as program crash, system crash, or otherwise
* Added the ability to duplicate a scene (added to the right-click context menu)
* Added the ability to update services and servers on the fly remotely (this way we can keep services up to date for all users immediately)
* Added support for Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k
* Added a profiler to the back-end to help to help determine potential system bottlenecks
* Added custom muxer settings to FFmpeg output in advanced output mode
* Changed the back-end to use a windowless graphics context (mostly as a refactor, but to also allow things like CLI-only front-ends later)
* Changed the FFmpeg output in advanced output mode to allow the use of generated filenames rather than overwriting the same file over and over again
* Changed default theme icons to look better and more consistent, especially in comparison to the dark theme
* Changed the video settings so that changing base resolution would not modify the scaled output resolution if they are of the same aspect ratio
* Moved reconnect options to advanced settings to clean up output section interface
* Removed "Enable CBR option" from simple output stream settings.  CBR is always on for streaming (unless service-specific settings are disabled in advanced output mode stream settings)
* Removed 22.05khz audio sample rate selection from audio settings
* The program will now prevent the computer from going to sleep and screen saving while active
* Improved CoreAudio AAC encoder logging
* Fixed a bug with the properties window where the window would always start off at the smallest size
* Fixed a bug with the media source where streams and certain files would not play audio
* Fixed a bug where adding certain audio sync offsets could cause the program to crash
* Fixed a bug where canceling reconnection would cause the user to be unable to start the stream again until the program was restarted
* Fixed a bug with FFmpeg output in advanced output mode where it could crash when selecting certain extensions
* Fixed an issue where log entries could repeat endlessly without limit (now caps log duplication after a certain limit)
* Fixed an issue where the program would not start up at all if certain settings were no longer valid

Linux specific changes:
* Window capture (xcomposite) will now automatically try to reacquire the window it was set to capture that may have been closed and reopened by the user

Windows specific changes:
* Added Media Foundation encoders, which has support for QuickSync, NVENC, and VCE.  Note however that these are a different from their "primary" implementations, and have limitations.  Media Foundation NVENC for example only has support on windows 10 currently.  The Media Foundation Quicksync encoder only works with Haswell level and better.  These encoders should be considered experimental, and currently are only available via advanced output mode.  Note also that NVENC and VCE are not currently recommended for streaming due to lack of proper CBR support.
* Fixed an issue where the video device source would crash if blackmagic drivers are installed but no blackmagic device is present
* Fixed an issue where crash reports would not generate proper stack traces
* Fixed a bug with game capture where high FPS games (games running above 100 FPS) would have poor capture performance
* Fixed a bug with game capture where 64bit games would sometimes crash when hooked
* Fixed a bug where game capture would fail to capture certain OpenGL games when using certain hardware (primarily older hardware with limited capture extension support)

Mac specific changes:
* Added Apple VideoToolbox Encoders.  These are considered experimental and not recommended for streaming yet.  Currently only available in the advanced output mode.

OBS Multiplatform 0.11.4

* Added the ability to save multiple audio tracks with different mixer configurations on a single recording in advanced output settings (supported by mp4, mov, ts, mkv, but not flv)
* Added portable mode option, which allows the program to save and access configuration data from the program's base folder. You can enable portable mode by using the --portable or -p command line parameter, or by having the following file in the base program directory to enable it: portable_mode or portable_mode.txt
* Added support for Apple's CoreAudio encoder for better audio encoding quality (always available on mac, and should be available on windows if the user has itunes or quicktime)
* Added a scroll effect filter (which had been highly requested for things like text)

* Added a gain audio filter
* Added a settings icon to audio sources on the mixer so that you can configure their audio filters or properties
* Added a "Show" button to stream key edit boxes to allow you to disable the password masking
* Added a few of common services: livecoding.tv, beam.tv, gaminglive.tv (service handling is still scheduled for an overhaul to use things like remote APIs and remote server lists so we don't have to control a primary list)
* Added the ability to reorder scenes
* Added the ability to easily reorder scenes/sources by dragging items in the list boxes
* Added support for username/password authentication when using custom servers
* Fixed a potential major memory leak with async video sources (video devices, media sources)

* Fixed a bug where sources could linger even though they aren't used in any scenes
* Fixed the way preview panes work so they don't have that weird "stretching" look when resizing the window
* Fixed http/https support (for things like update checks) to use libcurl, windows users should now always be able to get update checks and upload log files
* Fixed the default scaled resolution value to always be at or below 1280x720

* Changed game capture to hook similarly to the original version, and added an "anti-cheat compatibility hook" option to game capture (no longer always used by default)
* Fixed a bug with game capture where you couldn't capture a game if the game was at a permission level lower than OBS
* Fixed a bug where game capture could crash 64bit games
