Happy New Year !
This version brings **a lot** of improvements and rewrites!
The metadata file structure has been changed for better adaptability of the project.
The whole render pipeline has been fully rewritten for the best performance possible.
The face tracking is now much faster, especially with multiple face tracking effects stacked.
Also: We have MacOS support now! I don't have a Mac to test it extensively but the alpha testers say everything works perfectly.
But the biggest change, which opens many possibilities, is the `prev_frame` parameter!
It allows an effect to keep track of what happened before, meaning fun stuff like particle simulation
or recursion effects are now possible!
Right now, I have only a few releasable effects to show, but many, many more are coming soon...
