2.2.0 (unreleased)

New:

• Added support for native osc library (#2426, #2480).
• SRT: added support for passphrase, pbkeylen, streamid,
  added native type for srt sockets with methods, moved stats
  to socket methods, added socket() method on srt input/outputs
  (#2556)
• Added support for YAML parsing and rendering (#2855)
• Added video.align.
• Added string.index.
• Added support for unit interactive variables: those call a handler when their
  value is set.
• Added support for id3v2 v2.2.0 frames and pictures.
• Added source.drop to animate a source as fast as possible..
• Added in house replaygain computation:
  • source.replaygain.compute to compute replaygain of a source
  • file.replaygain to compute the replaygain of a file
• Added support for ImageLib to decode images.
• Added support for completion in emacs based on company (#2652).
• Added syntactic sugar for record spread: let {foo, gni, ..y} = x
  and y = { foo = 123, gni = "aabb", ...x} (#2737)
• Added file.{copy, move} (#2771)
• Detect functions defining multiple arguments with the same label (#2823).
• Added null.map.
• References of type 'a are now objects of type (()->'a).{set : ('a) -> unit}. This means that you should use x() instead of !x in order to get
  the value of a reference. Setting a reference can be done both by x.set(v)
  and x := v, which is still supported as a notation (#2881).
• Added ref.make and ref.map.
• Added video.board, video.graph, video.info (#2886).

Changed:

• Switched to dune for building the binary and libraries.
• Changed cry to be a required dependency.
• Changed default character encoding in output.harbor, output.icecast
output.shoutcast to UTF-8 (#2704)
• BREAKING: all timeout settings and parameters are now float values
  and in seconds (#2809)
• Added support for a Javascript build an interpreter.
• Removed support for %define variables, superseded by support for actual
  variables in encoders.
• Errors now report proper stack trace via their trace method, making it
  possible to programmatically point to file, line and character offsets
  of each step in the error call trace (#2712)
• Reimplemented harbor http handler API to be more flexible. Added a new
  node/express-like registration and middleware API (#2599).
• Switched default persistence for cross and fade-related overrides
  to follow documented behavior. By default, "liq_fade_out", "liq_fade_skip",
  "liq_fade_in", "liq_cross_duration" and "liq_fade_type" now all reset on
  new tracks. Use persist_overrides to revert to previous behavior
  (persist_override for cross/crossfade) (#2488).
• Moved HLS outputs stream info as optional methods on their respective encoder.
• Changed self_sync in input.ffmpeg to be a boolean getter, changed self_sync
  in input.http to be a nullable boolean getter. Set self_sync to true in
  input.http when an icecast or shoutcast server can be detected.
• Add sorted option to file.ls.
• Add buffer_length method to input.external.rawaudio and
  input.external.wav (#2612).
• Removed confusing let json.stringify in favor of json.stringify().
• Font, font size and colors are now getters for text operators (video.text,
  video.add_text, etc.) (#2623).
• Add on_cycle option to video.add_text to register a handler when cycling
  (#2621).
• Renamed {get,set}env into environment.{get,set}
• Renamed add_decoder, add_oblivious_decoder and add_metadata_resolver
  into, respectively, decoder.add, decoder.oblivious.add, decoder.metadata.add
• Deprecated get_mime, added file.mime.libmagic and file.mime.cli, made
  file.mime try file.mime.libmagic if present and file.mime.cli otherwise,
  changed eturned value when no mime was found to null().
• Return a nullable float in request.duration.
• Removed --list-plugins-json and --list-plugins-xml options.
• Added --list-functions-json option.
• Removed built-in use of strftime conversions in output filenames, replaced
  by an explicit call to time.string (#2593)
• Added nullable default to {int,float,bool}_of_string conversion functions, raise
  an exception if conversion fails and no default is given.
• The camomile library for charset conversion is now optional (#2696).
• Deprecated string_of in favor of string (#2700).
• Deprecated string_of_float in favor of string.float (#2700).
• Added settings.protocol.youtube_dl.timeout to specify timeout when using
  youtube-dl protocol (#2827). Use yt-dlp as default binary for the
  protocol.
• The sleeper operator is now scripted (#2899).

Fixed:

• The randomization function list.shuffle used in playlist was incorrect and
  could lead to incorrectly randomized playlists (#2507, #2500).
• Fixed srt output in listener mode to allow more than one listener at a time and
  prevent listening socket from being re-created on listener disconnection (#2556)
