Beta 2 Final Release
Changes since Beta 1
* Don't hide the cursor when SPICE is disabled
* The host application can now install and run as a service removing
the need for PsExec or a scheduled task to start the application.
* There is now a NSIS installer for the host application which
installs the service and will handle seamless upgrades without the
need to uninstall prior versions.
* The host application now runs with `High` scheduler priority
* The host application will now stop capture and go to sleep if there
are no subscribers (clients).
* The host application no longer opens the log file but instead shows
it's location. This is to prevent the elevated process from being
abused to run processes as the `SYSTEM` user account.
* The client framebuffer copy spinlock is less agressive preventing
CPU stalls on some systems due to starving the system scheduler.
* Installing the spice guest tools no longer breaks mouse support.
* Fixed EGL frame ordering bug.
* Fixed frame limiter issues.
* Better cursor icon support on initial connect.
* The LG client can no longer be run as root.
* Host now reports it's version to the client for logging and debug.
* Client now reports host and client versions on mismatch.
* Performance improvments to EGL.
* New client option to capture input by default at startup.
* Timers implemented for the linux host (now builds again).
* SIMD implemented to improve framebuffer copy.
* Don't stop the host LGMP timer when restarting capture.
* Boost GPU kernel thread priority so vsync/frame limits are not.
needed anymore.
* OBS plugin now always fetches the most recent frame on the frame
tick.
* Improved frame sync logic in the client
* Always use spice mouse host mode to fix issue with spice guest tools
breaking mouse support.
* LGMP submodule updated to incorporate fix that was causing random
invalid timeouts.
* [misc] minor readme update
* [client] drop the default FPS target to 60 now that the fps is
dynamic
