About This Version
This pre-release includes several enhancements, fixes, and overall improvements compared to the previous pre-release.
Version 3.5.x introduced support for custom integration controls—such as DDC, shell scripts, and URL-based actions—and new video filter capabilities for Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and streaming outputs, including self-streaming options to directly apply video effects to displays. The current update expands on these features by introducing the Video Filter Window, accessible via the Tools menu.
Please note that both the new integration features and video filters are currently experimental and may undergo further refinements.
