Version 2.3:

  • Added support for slideshow mode.
  • Improved support for image file formats, including MPO.
  • Added new capabilities to --vr-screen for easy configuration of two-screen stereo setups.
  • Made --opengles the default on ARM platforms.
  • Lowered minimum Qt version to 6.4.
  • Lowered minimum OpenGL ES requirements.

Version 2.2:

  • Added support for capturing windows and screens.
  • Added support for HighDPI output.
  • Added support for 3D HDMI frame-pack output mode.
  • Improved performance in multi-host/multi-GPU Virtual Reality setups.
  • Improved compatibility for various OpenGL implementations.

Version 2.1:

  • Added support for loading/saving/editing play lists, with loop modes off/one/all.
  • Added support for 180° videos, with and without 3D.
  • Added 3D output modes left-right(-half), right-left(-half), top-bottom(-half), bottom-top(-half).
  • Added support for rendering controller models in VR mode.
  • Improved GUI menu structure.
  • Fixed color space conversion for several pixel formats, mostly used by image file formats.
  • Fixed various scripting mode problems.

Version 2.0:

  • This is a complete rewrite of Bino. All code is new and based on Qt6:
    • Builds with CMake instead of autoconf
    • Media input is handled by Qt Multimedia instead of FFmpeg and libass
    • Media output is handled by Qt abstractions instead of OpenAL, GLEW and plain OpenGL
    • Virtual Reality support is handled by QVR instead of Equalizer
    • Translations use Qt mechanisms instead of gettext
  • New features:
    • Support for 360° videos, with and without 3D
    • Simpler and more powerful VR mode, with autodetection of SteamVR
    • Support for both desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES
    • GPU accelerated video decoding
  • Changed features:
    • Scripting commands have changed, see the manual
    • Multi-screen fullscreen now always requires VR mode, but is simple to set up with QVR.
    • LIRC support is not built in anymore but can be achieved by writing scripting commands to a named pipe
  • Removed features that might be added back if there is enough interest:
    • Cropping and zooming
    • Parallax adjustment
    • Crosstalk ghostbusting
  • Removed features that depend on support being added to Qt Multimedia:
    • Advanced subtitle formats
    • Separate left/right video tracks

Version 1.6.8:

  • Improved support for using multiple cameras
  • New options and script commands to set a vertical pixel shift

Version 1.6.7:

  • Fixed a loop mode problem where the beginning of a video was skipped.
  • Fixed building with latest FFmpeg
  • OpenGL stereo output mode is re-enabled with Qt >= 5.10

Version 1.6.6:

  • Fixed the preferences dialog for multi-display fullscreen mode.
  • Work with plain libglew again, without libglewmx.

Version 1.6.5:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Bino from working correctly in some languages.

Version 1.6.4:

  • Current FFmpeg libraries are supported.
  • Build problems were fixed.
  • A few bugs were fixed.
  • Current Qt versions are supported, but "OpenGL stereo" support is disabled with Qt >= 5.7 until a proper fix is found.

Version 1.6.3:

  • Build problems were fixed.

Version 1.6.2:

  • The preferences dialogues were restructured.
  • Qt5 is now the default instead of Qt4.

Version 1.6.0:

  • Support for Qt5 (but Qt4 remains the default for now).
  • New option to force a source aspect ratio.
  • Support for newer versions of FFmpeg/Libav and Equalizer.

Version 1.4.0:

  • Support for the new output mode "Left/right view alternating", also known as "frame sequential". This is intended for 120Hz active stereo projectors and displays when "OpenGL stereo" is not available.
  • Better support for audio control. Volume, mute, and delay can be adjusted, and the output device can be selected.
  • Support for scripting via script files or named pipes.
  • Much improved support for older graphics cards.
  • Support for video output via SDI on NVIDIA Quadro cards.
  • Automatic support for high precision color input and output (30 bits per pixel).
  • Single-frame stepping via the '.' key.
  • An adjustable zoom mode for videos that are wider than the screen.
  • Support for opening multiple input devices, and for requesting MJPEG data from input devices.
  • Support for the MPO, JPS, and PNS file formats for stereoscopic images.
  • Support for DLP 3-D Ready Sync.
  • Various user interface tweaks, including support for multimedia keyboards and a "Recent Files" section in the File menu.

Version 1.2.0:

  • Flexible fullscreen mode with support for multiple screens.
  • Support for remote controls via LIRC.
