25.0.8   OBS Studio 25.0.8 25.0.8 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Fixed certain services not properly updating their server information on Windows * Fixed multiview not rendering correctly on macOS * Fixed a minor memory leak

25.0.7   **As usual, if you would like to support our project, please check us out on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/obsproject) or [OpenCollective](https://opencollective.com/obsproject)!** 25.0.7 Hotfix Changes (macOS) ------------------------------- * Fix an issue with text sources on OSX 10.13 * Fix an entitlement issue that was breaking plugins * Fix OBS crashing on case sensitive filesystems on OSX 25.0.6 Hotfix Changes (macOS) -------------------------------- * Prevent closing vst plugin windows from the window UI for now to avoid a crash. You can still close them from the filter properties. * Make syphon plugin use ARC to fix some memory issues we ran into 25.0.5 Hotfix Changes (macOS) ----------------------------- * **NOTE**: MacOS 10.12 is no longer supported as of this release, due to the need to upgrade Qt for the latest versions of macOS. * Fixed a crash that could occur when using secure input fields on macOS. Because of a likely bug with macOS Catalina that was causing this crash, if you use secure input while using OBS, external hotkeys will no longer function for the duration of the program, so if you use hotkeys with OBS, we do not recommend using secure input while using OBS. (This is a temporary fix to the crash because the only way to fully work around it is likely rewriting the entire macOS hotkey system to a different hotkey-capturing method) * Fixed an issue where performance would be severely impacted when using Studio Mode on macOS 25.0.4 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Added an option to use MixrElixr when using Mixer in the streaming section of settings * Fixed a crash on Windows with certain audio devices * Fixed a crash with Decklink output * Fixed a crash with Vulkan game capture hook on Intel GPUs * Fixed scenes not always importing correctly from Streamlabs * Fixed a bug with QuickSync ICQ rate control where it would have a limited bitrate * Fixed NVENC not showing up on Windows 7 * Fixed keyboard input on Linux not being fully functional when interacting with browser sources 25.0.3 Hotfix Changes (Linux) ----------------------------- * Fixed video device source lagging on Linux 25.0.2 Hotfix Changes (Linux) ----------------------------- * Fixed a crash when changing settings on Linux * Fixed a freeze on Linux * Fixed a crash on Windows 25.0.1 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Fixed some FLV files not playing back properly with the media source * Fixed two crashes with the browser source * Fixed the names of monitors not showing up when using projectors * Fixed a crash with window capture * Fixed an issue where the preview would be stuck as disabled when starting the program minimized to tray * Fixed an issue where NVENC wasn't showing up for users on Linux (sorry about that, that was my fault -Jim) * Fixed a bug where certain games (particularly "Don't Starve Together") wouldn't capture with game capture anymore 25.0 New Features ----------------- * Added the ability to capture Vulkan-based games with game capture. Big thanks to Ubisoft Montreal for submitting this feature! [Littlematth/jpark37/Jim] * Added a new capture method to window capture which allows capturing browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs [jpark37] * By default, it will use "Automatic", which will use the normal method on most windows, and the new method on browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs * The downside of the new method is that it can cause a bit of cursor lag, as well as a highlighted border around the captured window. The border itself does not get captured, however. * You can choose which capture method to use in window capture properties * Added advanced scene collection importing (on the menu bar, Scene Collection -> Import) which allows you to import from other common streaming programs [Dillon] * Added Media source hotkeys to allow control of playback (stop/pause/play/restart) [cg2121] * For now, these are just hotkeys. User interface for this is also planned for future updates * Added the ability to drag and drop URLs to create browser sources (after displaying a confirmation prompt to ensure it was by intention) [WizardCM] * Developers can add an embed to their web pages that let them pre-specify parameters that automatically get set in the source when it's dragged into OBS.

25.0.6   OBS Studio 25.0.6 25.0.6 Hotfix Changes (macOS) ---------------------------- * Prevent crash on closing vst windows on macos * Fix syphon plugin, we switched over to ARC to prevent some memory issues 25.0.5 Hotfix Changes (macOS) ----------------------------- * Fixed a crash that could occur when using secure input fields on macOS. Because of a likely bug with macOS Catalina that was causing this crash, if you use secure input while using OBS, external hotkeys will no longer function for the duration of the program, so if you use hotkeys with OBS, we do not recommend using secure input while using OBS. (This is a temporary fix to the crash because the only way to fully work around it is likely rewriting the entire macOS hotkey system to a different hotkey-capturing method) 25.0.4 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Added an option to use MixrElixr when using Mixer in the streaming section of settings * Fixed a crash on Windows with certain audio devices * Fixed a crash with Decklink output * Fixed a crash with Vulkan game capture hook on Intel GPUs * Fixed scenes not always importing correctly from Streamlabs * Fixed a bug with QuickSync ICQ rate control where it would have a limited bitrate * Fixed NVENC not showing up on Windows 7 * Fixed keyboard input on Linux not being fully functional when interacting with browser sources 25.0.3 Hotfix Changes (Linux) ----------------------------- * Fixed video device source lagging on Linux 25.0.2 Hotfix Changes (Linux) ----------------------------- * Fixed a crash when changing settings on Linux * Fixed a freeze on Linux * Fixed a crash on Windows 25.0.1 Hotfix Changes --------------------- * Fixed some FLV files not playing back properly with the media source * Fixed two crashes with the browser source * Fixed the names of monitors not showing up when using projectors * Fixed a crash with window capture * Fixed an issue where the preview would be stuck as disabled when starting the program minimized to tray * Fixed an issue where NVENC wasn't showing up for users on Linux (sorry about that, that was my fault -Jim) * Fixed a bug where certain games (particularly "Don't Starve Together") wouldn't capture with game capture anymore 25.0 New Features ----------------- * Added the ability to capture Vulkan-based games with game capture. Big thanks to Ubisoft Montreal for submitting this feature! [Littlematth/jpark37/Jim] * Added a new capture method to window capture which allows capturing browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs [jpark37] * By default, it will use "Automatic", which will use the normal method on most windows, and the new method on browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs * The downside of the new method is that it can cause a bit of cursor lag, as well as a highlighted border around the captured window. The border itself does not get captured, however. * You can choose which capture method to use in window capture properties * Added advanced scene collection importing (on the menu bar, Scene Collection -> Import) which allows you to import from other common streaming programs [Dillon] * Added Media source hotkeys to allow control of playback (stop/pause/play/restart) [cg2121] * For now, these are just hotkeys.
