Fixes:

  • Missing / when using $HOME/.cache/swww, by @max-ishere
  • --transition-step with simple has saner defaults
  • correctly splitting outputs argument with ',', by @potatoattack

Improvements:

  • we only send the image after we've finished processing the whole animation.
    This diminishes the weird lag that can sometimes happen when sending a large
    gif.
  • sending a status update to systemd when daemon has been initialized, by @B3NJ4M1N

Internals:

  • we have benchmarks for our compression functions! This will be useful later once I start poking things to see if I can make them more efficient.

Unfortunately, there are a few bugs people have reported that I still haven't been able to fix. Sorry about that.

In any case, the immediate plan for the future is actually to update sctk to version 0.17.0. I am actually studying the possibility of using sctk with wgpu, since that should bring many improvements (most noticeably, we would be able to store an rgb vector, instead of rgba, so we could potentially cut memory usage by 3/4. In theory, of course, I still have to actually measure it to see if there's any difference. It will probably still take a while).
