* Make a few adjustments to QuickSync encoder (Palana)

* Fix a crash with higher bitrates on nvenc (BtbN and R1CH)

* Fix right-to-left language support so it displays in the proper order (Palana/Jim/AlderaaN)

* Moved "Use input device for desktop audio" to advanced settings (Palana) (certain individuals suddenly shed tears of joy)

* Added an "aspect ratio" display to video settings (Palana)

* Add a small visual indicator for global sources in the sources list box (HomeWorld)

0.612 Beta

* Fixed a bug with FLV files (paibox)

0.611 Beta

* Fixed issue with analyzer (R1CH)

* Fixed a bug with elgatos where they wouldn't work (Jim)

* I didn't properly recompile QSV stuff, which caused it to crash. Fixed that. (Jim)

0.610 Beta

* Refactored bitmap handling and allow animated gifs in the slideshow (HomeWorld)

* Added new "Log Files" submenu to the help menu. In this menu, you can now run the analyzer on your log files, upload log files to github gists to make it easier for devs to see, or view them yourself without having to go to the folder. (Palana)

* Moved "Open Log Folder" to help menu (Palana)

* If set to both stream and record, enable recording button when not streaming (Palana)

* Add start/stop recording hotkeys (Palana)

* Disable "keep recording" checkbox if file output is disabled (Palana)

* Added a few new options for QSV, and made a few minor improvements (Palana)

* Fixed a crash that would happen if you press start streaming and stop streaming too quickly (Palana)

* Added a log window that can be opened and viewed while streaming (Palana)

* Make it so the "WTF" log message for system clock only occurs if over a certain threshold (Jim)

* Removed the nvidia optimus "workaround" because nvidia optimus drivers seem to be too unstable when handling it and can crash when its used (Jim)

* Made a workaround for an issue where kona lhi devices wouldn't work properly due to their incomplete directshow filters (Jim)


* Add separate Start/Stop Recording button to the main window, you can now stop/start recording without stopping the stream. On top of that, reconnecting will no longer stop everything, you will keep recording while reconnecting. Notification also added to the status bar when streaming and/or recording is on/off. (Thanks to the awesome Paibox/Palana duo)
* Because the above required more room, the "Dashboard Link" button has been removed.
* Add NVEnc encoder (Written by BtbN. NOTE: requires nvidia key on non-quadro nvidia video devices)
* More improvements to QSV (Palana)
* Fix mic/device gradual syncing issues, remove "Mic Sync Fix Hack" in advanced because it fixes that problem. This was an issue that mostly happened with mics, the Avermedia Live Gamer Portable, and next-gen consoles (Jim)
* Fix mic removal/disconnection flaw, if your mic gets disconnected it's no longer required to restart the stream, it will automatically reacquire when it's plugged in again. (Jim. FINALLY. Why, Jim, did you take so long with this? This was a serious issue. Why am I referring to myself in the third person? ..Why am I talking to myself?)
* Can now "reset" your mic if necessary in audio settings if for whatever reason the mic audio device needs to be reset, which will cause it to reacquire itself. (Jim)
* Fix a bug with using two push to talk hotkeys, make it so that if both buttons are down, only when the second button is released will it deactivate push to talk. (Jim)
* More error/bug checking/logging (R1CH)
* Fix an issue with network initialization (R1CH)
* Fix an issue where disconnections would report the wrong error code (R1CH)

* Please email me if there are any issues with your bitrates or unexpected lag for your upload bandwidth -- not a verified issue, but if there are, please let me know

* Fixed a major framerate and smoothness bug with the video. Video should now be operating smoothly and at the intended framerates (that your system can support at least). Stayed up to like 5 in the morning trying to pinpoint that one

* Fixed some crashes when adding sources, especially the desktop capture source.

* Fixed some mic and audio related crashes, hopefully your microphones should work now

* Fixed some other crashes related to x264

* Added experimental 7.1 speaker support. I don't know if my coefficients are correct as I don't know the exact math behind downmixing, so it may sound a bit off. At the very least it won't crash with that setting anymore, hopefully. If anyone can explain the correct math or help me out with properly downmixing, it would be greatly appreciated.

* Also, if anyone has problems with PNG files, please email or link an example PNG file to me. Preferrably not too big.

* OpenBroadcasterSoftware's initial release.
