mrv2 v1.1.8

[ggarra13]

v1.1.8

• Added the ability to load single images from File->Open->Single Image. You can select multiple images but they won't be loaded as a sequence, only as stills.
• Added a command-line setting (--single or -s) to also load single images.
• Removed the 1 pixel padding that was added when first loading a clip full screen.
• Fixed cursor disappearing when going to the action tool dock while a drawing tool was active.
• Fixed libglib-2.0 being bundled in the distribution.
• Added step to check Wayland compatibility for the binary (.deb or .rpm) installers compiled under Rocky Linux 8.9 and fix configuration file if needed.
• Made CMake documentation target (-t doc) not fail if no Python is found.
• Fixed a potential crash when mrv2 was compiled without Python support and a python file was passed as a parameter to the viewer.
• Fixed a potential misdetection of Linux flavor when updating version with:
  Help->Update mrv2 on a system that had both rpm and dpkg installed.
• Added displaying of the icon on the Taskbar under Wayland.
• Made both Python and Log Window start in Windowed mode as defaults.
• Added missing RtAudio's information to About window which was missing.
• Added Preferences->Audio to allow selecting the Audio API to use as well as the Output Device to use.
• Fixed a minor redraw issue on the right side of the pixel bar.
• Fixed "Fixed Position" and "Fixed Size" not working when there was no image loaded (the usual on Window's and macOS' users).
• Fixed "Fixed Position" and "Fixed Size" rescaling the window bigger every time the preference was changed.
• Fixed Y pixel coordinate in Pixel Bar when showing environment maps.
• Fixed X and Y coordinates displaying large negative numbers when no image was loaded.
• Made Preferences->Playback->Auto Playback not activate playback when a clip is dragged for the first time to an EDL playlist.
• Color accuracy for YUV420P movies introduced a minor speed penalty which can make some movies with "Color Space" set to "unknown" performance playback stall, so a new boolean check box setting was added to Panel->Settings->Performance->FFmpeg Color Accuracy to toggle that setting. The default is to have it on as modern movies with Color Space correctly set to "bt709" do not exhibit the problem.
• Fixed an additional bug in resizing window code when loading movies without fixed size.
• Improved resizing window code to try to use the less space possible based on panel bars open and size of image.
• Made binary distribution smaller on Linux and macOS by removing the useless python.a config library.
• Fixed Presentation mode on Wayland having colored (gray) borders instead of black ones.
• Worked around an FLTK bug in its CMakeLists.txt files creating problems when the AP changed and the install/include/FL directory was not cleared.
