Release notes:

• Added support for interactive cropping via the FFmpeg crop filter. Use Shift+L to crop the left video, Shift+R for right-only cropping, or Shift+B to crop both sides to the same area. Press Backspace to clear crop regions (#130)
• Added window size persistence, with Shift+W restoring the saved window size, Ctrl+W restoring the startup window size, and Ctrl+Shift+W saving the current window size
• Added support for smaller zoom adjustments, seek deltas, and playback speed adjustments using Shift and Ctrl modifier keys
• Added E hotkey to re-center the view around the mouse position while preserving the current zoom level
• Renamed -k/--lock-window-aspect to -k/--aspect-lock. The option now takes a parameter controlling the aspect lock mode during resizing: off (default), window for the initial window ratio, or content for the current video/content ratio
• Improved metadata handling by tracking per-frame filter metadata via generation-aware frame metadata updates, ensuring the on-screen metadata overlay reflects filter and metadata changes on a per-frame basis
• Improved options file parsing: stop parsing when a # is encountered outside of quotes, enabling comment support
• Improved help documentation and control descriptions for clarity, both in-app and in the project's README
• Enabled single-decoder mode when multiple right videos are decode-equivalent, reducing resource usage
• Fixed an issue where the side-aware logger callback had to be initialized before the filtered logger, which could cause issues when specifying libvmaf options

The build for Windows 10 64-bit includes FFmpeg v8.0.1, SDL2 v2.32.10 and SDL2_ttf v2.24.0 DLLs.
