v4.208.0-rc2

This major release brings with it a number of fixes and changes for
compatibility with both upstream and downstream projects, native HDR
output on D3D11, and a complete redesign of the way ICC profiles are
handled.

Additions:
- add helper macros linearize() and delinearize(), expanding to the
  definition of the gamma function in use for the video signal
- add various new helper functions relating to colorspaces and
  primaries, see the API change log for a more comprehensive list
- add `pl_render_params.force_low_bit_depth_fbos` for
  debugging/performance tweaking purposes
- add `pl_plane.flipped`, to allow representing individual flipped
  frames in a way that semantically decouples from the presentation rect
  (e.g. for OpenGL framebuffers, or planes with negative stride)
- add '%' and '=' as operators to custom shaders, matching mpv
- add `pl_vulkan.(un)lock_queue` for interop with other libraries
- add `pl_frame.acquire/release` for better interop with hardware
  decoders. These are only called on an as-needed basis immediately
  before and after a frame is actually used for rendering, with only one
  frame being acquired at any given time
- add `pl_film_grain_from_av` helper function
- add support for configuring the swapchain color space on D3D11, using
  the existing pl_swapchain_colorspace_hint mechanism
- add an entirely new ICC profile shader API, allowing ICC profiles to
  be persistently opened (pl_icc_open) and their metadata exposed,
  with explicit `pl_icc_decode` and `pl_icc_encode` operations instead
  of a single monolithic decode+apply step
- add `pl_render_params.plane_up/downscaler`, allowing to override the
  upscaler/downscaler for subsampled chroma planes in particular
- add `pl_filter_function/config.name` for debugging/logging purposes

Changes:
- pl_log_create is no longer an exported symbol, instead becoming
  versioned by the compiled API version. `pl_log_create` is now a macro
  expanding to the name of this versioned function
- `pl_overlay_part` has been refactored, adding the new field `coords`
  to control the coordinate system relative to which the part is placed
  on-screen, as well as being generalized to support floating point
  positions
- deprecate PL_HOOK_PRE_OVERLAY, as a result of overlays no longer being
  applied during the rendering pipeline
- default `pl_color_map_params.gamut_mode` to PL_GAMUT_CLIP, replacing
  PL_GAMUT_DARKEN
- DRM modifiers are now required for vulkan dmabuf interop
- `pl_vulkan.queue_*` are now *always* set to valid queues for that
  operation type, even if it means including duplicates
- `pl_render_image` with NULL image now reports itself as a blend pass
  (blending 0 frames) instead of a frame pass to the info callbacks
- completely refactor/remove the old ICC/3DLUT shader API
  (`pl_icc_update`, `pl_icc_apply` etc.)
- <libplacebo/shaders/icc.h> is now installed unconditionally, with
  `pl_icc_open` simply failing when built without lcms2
- versions of glslang before the new versioning scheme (10.x.x) are no
  longer supported

Fixes and performance enhancements:
- fix pl_tone_map_reinhard.param_min to prevent division by zero
- fix left-over asserts preventing misaligned buffer uploads via
  pl_upload_plane
- fix bug where emulated rgb textures had alpha incorrectly
  preinitialized to 0 instead of 1
- overlays are now always rendered onto the final blended image, solving
  various bugs and unexpected edge cases due to image overlays being
  blended in the middle of the rendering pipeline
- fix a bug where tone-mapping without a state object resulted in broken
  behavior
- allow `pl_shader_sample_polar` to work with external samplers or
  flipped textures without incurring a performance penalty
- fix the behavior of pl_shader_sample_oversample, which was previously
  producing very wrong results
- fix an issue where the dither depth was incorrectly picked in a number
  of edge cases
- fix a number of issues with the H.274 film grain shader
- fix a bug where grayscale images were slightly too green
- fix a bug where `pl_vulkan.queue_transfer` was never set
- fix possible UB in pl_opengl_wrap_tex on some drivers with broken
  texture channel depth queries
- fix issue where some shader LUTs were being regenerated on every
  single frame rather than properly cached
- fix shader compilation error on older GLSL
- fix bug where images were sometimes undesiredly being scaled in linear
  light
- fix SDR<->SDR tone-mapping to properly be a no-op (linear stretch)
- fix use-after-free in pl_get_buffer2's error path

v4.192.1

This is a minor bugfix release, containing some crucial follow-up for
v4.192.0, most notably a fix for a regression in the YCbCr decoding
logic that resulted in slightly green-shifted output on 10/12-bit files.

- fix a regression causing incorrect YCbCr decoding for 10-bit content
- fix overzealous error detection on OpenGL initialization
- fix build issue caused by the use of 64-bit atomics on some platforms
- fix a regression in renderer functionality caused by an unintended
  restriction of FBO requirements on certain platforms (older d3d11)

- fix debug layer checks on d3d 11.0
- fix context creation on older d3d11 runtimes
- fix an issue where PL_TONE_MAP_HYBRID unintentionally oversaturated
  low brightness scenes
- fix a build issue on certain BSD platforms
- update nuklear to 4.9.5, fixing some build-time warnings
- fix an issue where a change to the d3d11 swapchain code resulted in
  lots of unnecessary log spam
- fix an issue where some d3d11 formats were detected as gatherable, but
  not sampleable

v4.192.0

This is a minor release, designed to synchronize with the release of
FFmpeg 5.0. It focuses mainly on improvements to color space handling -
including support for Dolby Vision Profile 5/8 content, completely
rewritten HDR tone/gamut mapping, and bringing `pl_color_space` more in
line with HDR10 metadata. Libplacebo now generally respects things like
mastering color space metadata, especially for PL_INTENT_SATURATION.
This technology is not yet perfect, and will be iterated upon in future
versions of libplacebo. This release serves mainly to lay the API
groundwork.

Other notable changes include support for H.274 film grain synthesis, as well
as improvements to the AVFrame<->libplacebo interop (in particular, support for
hardware accelerated frames), and various fixes related to alpha transparency.

As usual, also includes a number of bug fixes, performance improvements, and
miscellaneous improvements to the API and debug messages - such as the
inclusion of a brand-new Vulkan memory allocator, and a complete overhaul of
the Vulkan synchronization infrastructure to use timeline semaphores,
again for compatibility with FFmpeg Vulkan contexts.

Additions:
- add support for H.274 film grain synthesis
- add preprocessor macros for all params structs, allowing users to write e.g.
  `pl_render_params(.foo = bar)` to construct a `pl_render_params` pointer
  which implicitly includes any default fields, without the need for explicitly
  reading from pl_render_default_params
- add support for video/display rotation in the renderer
- add `pl_frame_copy_stream_props`
- add support for blending transparency against a checkerboard pattern
- add `pl_fmt.signature`, for render pass compatibility
- add `pl_pass_params.index_fmt` to allow 32-bit index buffers
- add `pl_dispatch_reset_frame`, to allow explicitly advancing the state
  of the PRNG and/or triggering garbage collection
- add the possibility of adding extra debug tags to GPU resources, which
  the default params helper macros set to the current source location
- add `pl_gpu_limits.max_variable_comps`, correctly specifying the upper
  bound on the number of uniform variable floats
- add `pl_vulkan_get`, `pl_opengl_get` and `pl_d3d11_get`
- add `pl_shader_set_alpha`
- add `pl_map_avframe_ex` and `pl_unmap_avframe`, which allow mapping extra
  AVFrame resources, and also support the use of hardware frames such as vaapi,
  dmabuf or vulkan
- add support for Dolby Vision color reshaping, via PL_COLOR_SYSTEM_DOLBYVISION
  and `pl_dovi_metadata` - including automatic mapping from AVFrames
- add <libplacebo/tone_mapping.h>, defining a collection of tone mapping
  primitives, and mechanisms for constructing LUTs, and including new
  functions such as BT.2446a and `spline`, as well as improvements to old
  curves such as `hable` and `linear` to make them more perceptually linear
- add a variety of new tone mapping modes (see `pl_tone_map_mode`), including
  auto-selection based on heuristics of the source characteristics
- add a variety of new gamut mapping modes (see `pl_gamut_mode`)
- add support for `NAME_gather` macros for use in user shaders

Changes:
- replace <libplacebo/shaders/av1.h> by the more general
  <libplacebo/shaders/film_grain.h>
- remove API members deprecated for libplacebo v3
- PL_ALPHA_UNKNOWN tagging on files is now assumed to be PL_ALPHA_INDEPENDENT,
  rather than PL_ALPHA_PREMULTIPLIED, and `pl_shader_decode_color` now also
  outputs independent alpha by default
- the `box` filter was removed entirely, due to a number of issues preventing
  it from being effectively useful in practice
- replace `pl_tex_transfer.stride_w/h` (specified in texels) by
  `row/depth_pitch` (specified in bytes)
- replace `pl_pass_params.target_dummy` by `target_format`, and
  requiring that rendered textures are compatible with this format
- allow calling `pl_queue_update` on NULL
- <libplacebo/vulkan.h> now requires support for the timeline semaphores
  feature, included automatically in Vulkan 1.2 and available via
  VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore in previous versions
- change pl_vulkan_hold/release API: removing VkAccessFlags, and replacing the
  VkSemaphore by pl_vulkan_sem (for timeline semaphore support)
- `pl_queue_push` may now be used to push frames out-of-order
- `pl_render_image_mix` may now be used on single frames, in which case
  libplacebo will still go through the mixer cache, potentially speeding up
  single-frame redraws (see: `pl_render_params.skip_caching_single_frames`)
- remove `pl_vulkan_params.disable_events`
- `pl_shared_mem.size` no longer needs to be set for DMABUFs and D3D11 textures
- remove support for 64-bit integer texture formats, since these are very
  poorly supported on most platforms and also extremely rarely needed
- completely refactor all of the tone mapping settings in `pl_color_map_params`,
  replacing the old `desaturation_*` and `tone_mapping_algo` by the new
  `tone_mapping_mode` and `tone_mapping_function`, and the old `gamut_warning`
  and `gamut_clipping` by the new `gamut_mode`
- completely refactor `pl_color_space`: deprecate the old `sig_peak`,
  `sig_scale` etc. fields in favor of merging `pl_hdr_metadata` into this
  struct, and update the API of several functions that previusly took
  `pl_color_space` struct values, to instead take pointers
- remove `pl_color_light` entirely, instead treating the OOTF as an inseparable
  part of the color transfer function (e.g. HLG)
- delete `pl_swapchain_colors` in favor of `pl_color_space` instead (which
  contains the exact same fields now)

Fixes and performance enhancements:

v4.157.0

This is a major new release involving a significant overhaul of the
public API, full thread safety, support for Direct3D 11 / Win32 /
MSVC, native HDR output, and more.

The primary way of accessing most libplacebo objects has been revamped.
Rather than writing e.g. `const struct pl_tex *image`, users now simply
write `pl_tex image`. In addition, the `struct pl_context *ctx` was
universally refactored and replaced by `pl_log log`, with no concern
besides logging.

Direct3D 11 is now natively supported by libplacebo, and compiling on
Windows in general has been made more straightforward.

The entire API was revamped to be thread safe by default, even when
using OpenGL (assuming the user provides the appropriate context binding
callbacks). Accompanying this change, the `pl_queue` has been rewritten
with multi-threaded decoding loops in mind. See the accompanying
`plplay` demo for an illustration.

Finally, this release brings with it a lot of features for feature
parity with mpv, such as the ability to get pass stats / timings,
oversample scaling, and more.

Additions:
- add a `void *user_data` field to `pl_frame`, with no further
  interpretation by libplacebo
- add `pl_queue_push_block`, useful for multi-threaded decoding loops
- add a `uint64_t timeout` to `pl_queue_update`, allowing it to
  block until frames are available even when not using a `get_frame`
  callback
- make `pl_queue_update` also return valid data when failing with
  PL_QUEUE_MORE, allowing access to partial/incomplete mix outputs
- allow calling `pl_render_image` on `image == NULL`, to render overlays
  only
- add `pl_get_buffer2`, API-compatible with AVCodecContext.get_buffer2
- add support for blitting from/to several obscure formats such as
  a1rgb5 or 64-bit integer formats
- add `pl_tex_clear_ex` to support clearing integer textures
- add `pl_render_params.ignore_icc_profiles`, for debugging
- add `pl_queue_params.interpolation_threshold`, to allow disabling
  frame mixing when the source FPS approximately matches the display FPS
- always accept DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID for texture imports
- add extra windowing functions to <libplacebo/filters.h>
- add the `pl_fmt.gatherable` capability
- add `pl_shader_sample_oversample`, a variant of nearest-neighbour
  that preserves pixel aspect ratios - good for pixel art
- add `pl_scale_filters` alongside `pl_frame_mixers`
- add support for compile-time specialization constants (`pl_constant`),
  and use them to speed up recompilation of shaders with hard-coded
  constants
- add `pl_render_params.dynamic_constants`, which lifts hard-coded
  constants to dynamic variables - useful for scenarios in which render
  parameters are expected to change very frequently
- add more PL_COLOR_TRC_GAMMAxx definitions
- implement full black point adaptation, even when not using ICC
  profiles, and infer this black-point-adapted BT.1886 instead of gamma
  2.2 as the default gamma curve for SDR files.
- add `pl_shader_res.description` and `pl_shader_res.steps`, containing
  more friendly names for shaders plus a detailed list of operations
  that shader is performing
- add callbacks to `pl_dispatch` and `pl_renderer` for informing users
  of executed passes and their execution times
- add support for the Direct3D 11 graphics API
- add `pl_swapchain_colorspace_hint`, replacing
  `pl_swapchain_hdr_metadata` as the new way to update swapchain
  colorspace metadata at runtime. This can be used to e.g. switch
  between HDR and SDR mode, for supported swapchains
- add `pl_peak_detect_params.minimum_peak`, allowing users to constrain
  the detected peak values to only be sensible (e.g. above 1.0)

Changes:
- simplify the `shaderc` pkg-config check - rather than querying for
  `shaderc_shared.pc`, `shaderc_combined.pc` etc, simply check for
  `shaderc.pc`, matching upstream
- make almost everything thread-safe, and document the parts that
  aren't. In particular, almost all GPU state access is now thread safe,
  freeing up users to access `pl_gpu` instances from multiple threads,
  even when the underlying API is OpenGL
- deprecate `disable_overlay_sampling`, now effectively always true
- `struct pl_overlay` has been refactored completely to allow for
  overlays with more than one part per texture. The only way of using
  this struct is deprecated
- prefix `enum pl_queue_status` members by `PL_`, fixing an oversight in
  the previous version of this API
- make `pl_renderer` automatically clear the target image, freeing users
  from the responsibility of calling `pl_frame_clear` themselves. This
  can be controlled via three new fields in `pl_render_params`:
  `background_color`, `background_transparency` and `skip_target_clearing`
- rename `pl_context` to `pl_log`, and make its use optional. The old
  names have been deprecated. It now lives inside <libplacebo/log.h>
- add `typedefs` to all public-facing object types, o make them shorter
  to reference. For example, `const struct pl_tex *tex` is now simply
  `pl_tex tex`. This change affects almost every type of object in
  libplacebo. The old way of referencing these objects is still
  possible, but considered deprecated. Note that due to C++-specific
  reasons, C++ users *must* upgrade their codeto the new API style
- remove PL_PRIM_TRIANGLE_FAN
- remove support for 64-bit float formats, which probably don't work on
  any Vulkan implementation
- stop contrast-limiting ICC profiles, instead assuming perceptual
  profiles have infinite contrast
- remove `pl_shader_signature` for being necessarily unsafe
- require Vulkan 1.1 as the minimum vulkan version
- rename `pl_oversample_frame_mixer` to `pl_filter_oversample`, and
  allow using it for image scaling as well
- change `pl_color_space_monitor` from PL_COLOR_TRC_GAMMA22 to UNKNOWN
- change the signature of `pl_shader_(de)linearize` slightly
- significantly increase the default strengths of the desaturation
  settings in`pl_color_map_params`, to mimic the hollywood feel
- refactor `pl_glsl_desc` and `pl_gpu_caps` completely, in favor of the
  new structs `pl_glsl_version` and `pl_gpu_limits`, with new members.
  The old API is still available for the time being, but deprecated

Fixes and performance improvements:
- fix possible use-after-free in `plplay`
- don't explode `pl_queue` on NaN/Infinity/weird PTS values
- fix edge case involving plane merging for cropped images
- improve `plplay` by using threaded libplacebo APIs
- several fixes for edge cases in <libplacebo/utils/libav.h> helpers

  shader dispatch mechanism significantly more robust

  vulkan loader
- C++ compatibility for public headers
- improve performance of textureGather-based polar sampling, especially
  for radius 2 and 4
- fix vulkan texture handle capabilities check, again
- don't include superfluous pNext chains, fixes undefined behavior

- fix several edge cases in pl_render_image_mix relating to LUTs,
  3DLUTs, HDR peak detection and so on

v3.120.3

This minor release fixes a number of regressions surrounding memory
imports and DRM modifiers, specifically aimed at issues that arose with
mpv's --hwdec=vaapi.

Changes:
- `pl_fmt.modifiers` now always includes DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID on
   OpenGL, which instructs the implementation to not specify modifiers
- passing a DRM modifier not in the list of supported modifiers is now
  considered a hard error, to rule out non-working hwaccel formats

Fixes:
- fix a crash when using sampling shaders on textures with unknown formats
- fix improperly specified SDL header imports in the demos
- fix an issue where the vulkan texture handle capabilities were testing
  for presence of the wrong extension
- fix an issue where non-enabled DRM modifier structs were accidentally
  linked into the pNext chain, causing issues with some drivers

v3.120.2

This minor release fixes a number of additional bugs related to the
thread queue, included demos, included helpers, and build system.

Changes:
- replace the `shaderc` library checks by pkg-config checks
- `pl_dispatch` no longer grows infinitely, but prunes stale cache
  entries after a certain threshold
- improve logging of GPU capabilities (including format capabilities)

Fixes and performance improvements:
- fix a typo on an error message
- fix a use-after-free edge case in `plplay`
- filter out Infinity, NaN and other values from fps/vps estimates
- add several warnings for suspected frame queue API misuses
- fix a crash when combining pl_render_image_mix with cropped frames
- fix a crash on AV_PIX_FMT_NONE in the libav helpers
- fix the loading of overlays in the `sdlimage` demo
- fix a number of potential overflows on 32-bit platforms
- omit redundant identity matrices in pl_shader_decode_color
- fix crash in frame queue with certain out-of-order PTS sequences
- add missing link to vulkan dependency in the `video-filtering` demo
- correctly shift overlays when drawing to subsampled YCbCr planes
- add missing check for PL_GPU_CAP_CALLBACKS in `utils/{libav,dav1d}.h`
- improve handling of asynchronous texture uploads in `utils/libav.h`

v3.120.1

This hotfix release fixes a number of minor issues with the v3.120.0
release, and also modularizes the included demo programs to cut down on
the number of compiled binaries.

Changes:
- hexadecimal strings in custom shaders may now include whitespace
- added 16-bit half float formats to the dummy pl_gpu
- significantly reduced verbosity of the included demo programs
- merged all of the demo program variants into a single binary that
  picks the best windowing system / graphical API at runtime
- install `plplay` when demos are enabled

Fixes and performance improvements:
- fixed an integer overflow in a texture bounds check
- fixed a false positive error in the test framework on 32-bit platforms
- fixed some minor issues with various outdated comments
- fixed a potential use-after-free in the `plplay` demo program when
  playing files containing embedded ICC profiles

v3.120.0

This is a feature release, introducing frame mixing, DRM format
modifiers, and support for custom LUTs -, while also greatly expanding
the available demo programs, in particular the `plplay` video player.

The main highlight is the new `pl_queue` abstraction living in
<libplacebo/utils/frame_queue.h>. This greatly simplifies the core of a
libplacebo-based video renderer by translating a stream of input frames
into an array of GPU-mapped textures suitable for frame mixing, given a
corresponding vsync timestamp. New frames can be delivered to this API
using a push or pull model, and they are lazily uploaded on an as-needed
basis as well as internally garbage collected when no longer needed.
This abstraction also contains all needed machinery for estimating
source/display framerates by comparing and averaging timestamps, freeing
users from the burden of having to accurately determine this information
a priori.

Also worth mentioning is the addition of support for custom LUTs,
currently only in Adobe's .cube format. They can be applied flexibly at
a number of locations in the video processing pipeline, including as a
replacement for YUV<->RGB conversion or tone/gamut mapping, and fed with
either normalized linear light or native-gamma values.

Among the included demo programs, the `plplay` example video player has
been greatly expanded - adding support for a settings GUI (based on
nuklear), frame timing and mixing, custom shaders, and more. This
example video player now serves as a convenient platform to demonstrate
all of libplacebo's advanced rendering features.

Finally, all of libplacebo now contains only code written entirely from
scratch (rather than deriving from mpv), opening up the possibility to
explore different licenses besides the current LGPLv2.1+. In particular,
permissive (MIT/BSD-style) licenses are being considered.

Additions:
- add asynchronous GPU callbacks, specifically to `pl_tex_transfer`,
  allowing for non-blocking host memory transfer operations
- add `pl_shared_mem.stride_w/h` to control dmabuf pitch
- add `pl_render_image_mix` to blend multiple frames into a single
  output image, given relative timestamp information
- add the `pl_filter_mitchell_clamp` filter preset
- add `pl_render_params.preserve_mixing_cache` to speed up redraws after
  renderer size changes when frame mixing is active
- add <libplacebo/utils/dav1d.h> to help with Dav1dPicture mapping
- implement `PL_HANDLE_HOST_PTR` for the OpenGL backend
- implement drm format modifiers for vulkan
- add a new field `pl_fmt.modifiers` for DRM format modifier negotiation
- add new header <libplacebo/shaders/lut.h> to load custom LUTs
  (currently only supporting the .cube format)
- add `index_data/buf` to `pl_pass_run_params`, adding support for
  indexed vertex data when dispatching shader passes
- add `pl_dispatch_vertex` to allow dispatching fragment shaders using
  a list of custom vertices with custom vertex attributes
- add `pl_frame_recreate_from_avframe` and `pl_download_avframe` to help
  downloading GPU textures back into AVFrame form
- add a new header <libplacebo/utils/frame_queue.h> to assist in taking
  a stream of (Frame, PTS) pairs as well as a list of VSync times and
  turning them into a stream of `pl_frame_mix` structs
- add `pl_white_from_temp` and `pl_color_adjustment.temperature` to
  apply white point adjustments between correlated color temperatures (K)
- add `pl_filter_preset.description` containing a longer, human-readable
  name for a given filter preset

Changes:
- `pl_3dlut_params` has been renamed `pl_icc_params`
- `pl_render_params.force_3dlut` has been renamed `force_icc_lut`
- `pl_3dlut_update/apply` have been renamed to `pl_icc_update/apply` and
  moved to a (conditionally installed) new header <libplacebo/shaders/icc.h>
- `pl_upload_plane` no longer initializes `out_plane->shift_x/y` to 0,
  instead leaving them unmodified (to avoid clobbering existing shift data)
- `pl_filter_box` has been renamed to `pl_filter_nearest`
- `pl_filter_triangle` has been renamed to `pl_filter_bilinear`
- `pl_render_params.frame_mixer = NULL` now disables frame mixing - to
  get back the old behaviour, set this to `&pl_oversample_frame_mixer`.
- `pl_color_map_params.gamut_warning` now highlights out-of-gamut colors
  in bright pink, rather than the old (ill-defined) inversion behaviour
- `pl_named_filter_config` has been renamed to `pl_filter_preset`
- `pl_find_named_filter` has been renamed to `pl_find_filter_preset`
- ditto for `pl_named_filter_function` and `pl_filter_function_preset`

- `pl_render_params.force_icc_lut` now excludes no-op cases
- fix handling of custom shader COMPUTE blocks
- correctly apply hue and saturation controls for non-YCbCr color spaces

v3.104.0

This is a major release, introducing many new features and
modifications. Most importantly, libplacebo now interoperates well with
FFmpeg's libav* abstractions. This is primarily exposed via a new set of
helpers, <libplacebo/utils/libav.h>, implemented as a single header
library. In addition to this, a number of other supporting changes have
been made to the API, most notably the unification of `pl_image` and
`pl_render_target` into a single `pl_frame` concept, similar in spirit
to AVFrame. As such, libplacebo now supports **rendering to planar
targets**, including subsampled YCbCr.

Besides the libav* compatibility changes, this release also brings with
it a new feature for custom shaders: buffer blocks, and persistent
storage. This can be used by third parties to implement stateful shaders
(e.g. motion interpolation or temporal deinterlacing), or be leveraged
to speed up some shaders by combining multiple passes into one.

Finally, various import/export procedures have been expanded, including
the ability to import host pointers and real-world DMABUFs.

Additions:
- add `pl_memory_qualifiers`, plus a corresponding `pl_shader_desc.memory`,
  to allow attaching GLSL memory qualifiers (coherent, volatile etc.) to
  shader descriptors
- add functions `pl_dispatch_save` and `pl_dispatch_load` to allow
  saving/restoring the contents of an entire `pl_dispatch`'s cache
- add functions `pl_renderer_save` and `pl_renderer_load` to allow
  saving/restoring the contents of an entire `pl_renderer`'s cache

- add `pl_primaries_superset` to test if one set of primaries is fully
  enclosed by another
- add `pl_color_map_params.gamut_clipping`, which will colorimetrically
  clip any out-of-gamut colors by desaturating them towards neutral gray
  until they're in-gamut, rather than clipping per channel as before
- add `PL_GPU_CAP_SUBGROUPS` and `pl_gpu_limits.subgroup_size`, to
  expose GLSL subgroup functionality via the `pl_gpu` interface
- add `pl_gpu_is_failed`, to query at a high level whether the `pl_gpu`
  is in some internal failure state. GPUs in this state should be
  recreated, using the appropriate mechanism
- add `pl_shader_custom`, to allow injecting arbitrary custom GLSL code
  into a `pl_shader`.
- add `pl_buf_params.import_handle` to allow importing buffers
- add `PL_HANDLE_HOST_POTR`, to allow importing arbitrary host pointers
- add `pl_pass_run_params.vertex_buf`, to allow drawing vertex data
  directly from a `pl_buf`, guarded by `pl_gpu_limits.max_vbo_size`

  structs to byte boundaries
- add support for STORAGE textures in user shaders, which can be used to
  persist data across separate invocations of the shader
- add support for BUFFER blocks in user shaders, which can be used to
  create UBOs or SSBOs for use inside shaders, the latter of which can
  also persist across frames and be used to store persistent state
- add PL_COLOR_PRIM_EBU_3213 and PL_COLOR_PRIM_FILM_C
- add a new header <libplacebo/utils/libav.h>, containing a variety of
  helper functions for interoperating between libav* and libplacebo
- add `demos/plplay.c` to serve as a demonstration of how to make a
  trivial playback loop with libavcodec and libplacebo
- add `pl_sample_src.component_mask` to allow sampling an arbitrary
  subset of the available components from a plane
- add `pl_frame_is_cropped` and `pl_frame_clear` to assist in properly
  clearing frames before rendering to them
- add `pl_tex_poll` to assist in interoperating with some external APIs

- allow `pl_dispatch_compute` on shaders with outputs, including the
  ability to automatically determine the number of work groups based on

  with individual capabilities in `pl_buf_params` determinig what type
  of shader operations it can be used for

v3.104.0-rc1

This is a major release, introducing many new features and
modifications. Most importantly, libplacebo now interoperates well with
FFmpeg's libav* abstractions. This is primarily exposed via a new set of
helpers, <libplacebo/utils/libav.h>, implemented as a single header
library. In addition to this, a number of other supporting changes have
been made to the API, most notably the unification of `pl_image` and
`pl_render_target` into a single `pl_frame` concept, similar in spirit

v2.72.0

This is a major release with several key additions, most notably being
the support for custom, mpv-style "user shaders" (.hook), giving us
access to a large variety of pre-existing user shaders such as RAVU,
FSRCNNX, Anime4K, SSimSuperRes, KrigBilateral, NNEDI3, and more.

In addition to this, major additions include a completely refactored and
fixed AV1 grain generation shader, support for Vulkan versions higher
than 1.0, support for GPU-based timers, and improved interop APIs for
both Vulkan and OpenGL, and new and improved aspect ratio handling.

Finally, this release also brings with it a major change to the way HDR
and SDR content are mapped between each other, including a new
tone-mapping function based on the industry-standard ITU-R BT.2390 EETF.

Additions:
- add `pl_swapchain_hdr_metadata`, to set HDR metadata on supported
  swapchains (currently only vulkan with `VK_EXT_hdr_metadata`)

  existing VkDevice rather than creating a new one; this requires
  communicating metadata about how the device was created
- add field `pl_vulkan_params.features` to allow loading optional extra
  device features at device creation time
- add support for mpv-style custom user shaders (.hook), using the set
  of functions in `<libplacebo/shaders/custom.h>`

  allowing the GPU execution time of shaders and texture transfer
  operations to be measured directly

  directly accept the sampler to use as function parameters
- add `pl_image_set_chroma_location` to automatically apply the correct
  chroma location to any subsampled planes

  EETF from ITU-R Report BT.2390 (and make it the default)
- add `pl_peak_detect_params.overshoot_margin` to help combat clipping
  on certain types of rapid scene fade-ins
- add `pl_sampler_type` to allow encoding non-standard sampler types
  such as sampler2DRect, and also generalize samplers to allow e.g.
  usampler2D or isampler3D
- add `pl_opengl_wrap` and `pl_opengl_unwrap`, to allow directly mapping
  between OpenGL textures and the `pl_tex` abstraction

Changes:
- deprecate `pl_image.width/height`, which are now inferred
  automatically from the actual planes

  directly accepting its parameters, including new fields `sample_mode`
  and `address_mode` to configure the created sampler

  simulated framebuffer width/height, which will be used to translate
  vertex attributes (if any)
- undefine disabled `config.h` features, instead of defining them as 0
- remove debanding from `pl_render_default_params`
- refactor HDR<->SDR mapping; PL_COLOR_REF_WHITE has been removed and
  replaced by PL_COLOR_SDR_WHITE (203 cd/m^2) and PL_COLOR_SDR_WHITE_HLG
  (75% HLG), respectively
- completely refactor pl_shader_av1_grain`, which now samples directly
  from the passed texture rather than requiring the color be pre-sampled
- `pl_render_image` now infers the image primaries based on resolution,
  rather than always hard-coding `PL_COLOR_SPACE_UNKNOWN` as BT.709
- change `pl_render_target.dst_rect` from `pl_rect2d` to `pl_rect2df`,
  allowing more accurate aspect ratio handling, and correctly compensate
  for subpixel scaling ratios
- require `python3-mako` as a dependency of the `vulkan` feature
- `pl_chroma_location_offset` now treats `PL_CHROMA_UNKNOWN` as
  `PL_CHROMA_LEFT`, the de-facto standard chroma location

- fix shader generation when the GLSL version is explicitly overridden
- properly mark some shader failures (`pl_shader_is_failed`)
- fix texture invalidation on OpenGL
- correctly respect `pl_swapchain_frame.flipped` in
  `pl_render_target_from_swapchain`

  modern GPUs (tested on RDNA)
- transparently upgrade fragment shaders to compute shaders on
  environments with async compute

v2.72.0-rc1

This is a major release with several key additions, most notably being
the support for custom, mpv-style "user shaders" (.hook), giving us
access to a large variety of pre-existing user shaders such as RAVU,
FSRCNNX, Anime4K, SSimSuperRes, KrigBilateral, NNEDI3, and more.

In addition to this, major additions include a completely refactored and
fixed AV1 grain generation shader, support for Vulkan versions higher
than 1.0, support for GPU-based timers, and improved interop APIs for
both Vulkan and OpenGL, and new and improved aspect ratio handling.

Finally, this release also brings with it a major change to the way HDR
and SDR content are mapped between each other, including a new
tone-mapping function based on the industry-standard ITU-R BT.2390 EETF.

Additions:
- add `pl_swapchain_hdr_metadata`, to set HDR metadata on supported
  swapchains (currently only vulkan with `VK_EXT_hdr_metadata`)
- add support for vulkan versions higher than 1.0, communicated via the
  new fields `api_version` and `max_api_version`
- add support for GPU-assisted validation and best practices layers, via
  the new field `pl_vk_inst_params.debug_extra`
- add helper functions for working with `pl_rect`s, including new aspect
  ratio handling helpers (`pl_rect2df_aspect_*`)
- add field `pl_vulkan_params.device_uuid` to allow choosing the vulkan
  device by its UUID
- add function `pl_vulkan_hold_raw`, to hold images without actually
  transitioning its layout and access mode
- add function `pl_vulkan_import`, to allow directly re-using an
  existing VkDevice rather than creating a new one; this requires
  communicating metadata about how the device was created
- add field `pl_vulkan_params.features` to allow loading optional extra
  device features at device creation time
- add support for mpv-style custom user shaders (.hook), using the set
  of functions in `<libplacebo/shaders/custom.h>`
- add `pl_render_high_quality_params`, enabling debanding and EWA
  scaling
- add `pl_timer` GPU resource type and associated API functions,
  allowing the GPU execution time of shaders and texture transfer
  operations to be measured directly
- add `PL_SHADER_SIG_SAMPLER`, allowing generated sampling shaders to
  directly accept the sampler to use as function parameters
- add `pl_image_set_chroma_location` to automatically apply the correct
  chroma location to any subsampled planes
- add `PL_TONE_MAPPING_BT_2390`, a tone mapping function based on the
  EETF from ITU-R Report BT.2390 (and make it the default)
- add `pl_peak_detect_params.overshoot_margin` to help combat clipping
  on certain types of rapid scene fade-ins
- add `pl_sampler_type` to allow encoding non-standard sampler types
  such as sampler2DRect, and also generalize samplers to allow e.g.
  usampler2D or isampler3D
- add `pl_opengl_wrap` and `pl_opengl_unwrap`, to allow directly mapping
  between OpenGL textures and the `pl_tex` abstraction

Changes:
- deprecate `pl_image.width/height`, which are now inferred
  automatically from the actual planes
- `pl_vulkan_wrap` now takes a `pl_vulkan_wrap_params` struct instead of
  directly accepting its parameters, including new fields `sample_mode`
  and `address_mode` to configure the created sampler
- change `pl_dispatch_compute` to allow optionally passing in a
  simulated framebuffer width/height, which will be used to translate
  vertex attributes (if any)
- undefine disabled `config.h` features, instead of defining them as 0
- remove debanding from `pl_render_default_params`
- refactor HDR<->SDR mapping; PL_COLOR_REF_WHITE has been removed and

v2.43.1

This release backports a number of bug fixes from master affecting the
v2.43.0 release, and also slightly extends the range of backwards
compatibility with respect to vulkan-headers versions. (This change is
not on master, so this can be seen as a compatibility release)

Bug fixes:
- fix GLSL version checks when overriding GLSL versions with
  `pl_shader_params.glsl`
- fix minor order-of-operations issue in AV1 grain synthesis
- fix glInvalidate* backwards compatibility issue
- fix compilation with older vulkan-headers (e.g. ubuntu 18.04)
- fix a bug where pl_shader_encode_color sometimes uploaded and applied
  an identity matrix unnecessarily
- work around upstream issues with MSL shader compilation by ensuring
  all buffer elements are sorted by offset
- fix hypothetical edge case with swapchain image usages forbidden by
  the swapchain image format
- fix an issue where blending overlays caused the rest of the image to
  be discarded

Other changes:
- log the vulkan surface selection choices
- log the overall library version on initialization
- add a few more pl_gpu validation checks
- significantly reduce the CPU consumpation of blocking texture downloads

v2.43.0

The major highlight of this release is the introduction of a new OpenGL
backend, documented in <libplacebo/opengl.h>, which is also the reason
for the major version bump.

Apart from the addition of OpenGL support, this release brings with it a
large number of fixes for backwards compatibility with older versions of
GLSL and GLES, allowing libplacebo to be used to generate legal shaders
for virtually any GLSL version in existence.

Supporting these changes, the test framework has been expanded
considerably to allow for automated testing of older OpenGL context
versions and older GLSL versions.

Additions:
- add `pl_gpu.pci`, containing the PCI address of the underlying GPU
- add `pl_image.av1_grain`, allowing `pl_renderer` to add AV1 grain
- add `pl_opengl` backend (see <libplacebo/opengl.h>)
- add `pl_color_levels_guess`, to infer color levels from pl_color_repr
- `pl_shader_encode_color` now handles non-linear color systems
- add `pl_render_params.force_dither`, to force use of the dither code
- add `pl_render_params.disable_fbos`, to forcibly disable FBOs
- add `pl_vk_inst_params.layers`, to allow loading extra vulkan layers
- add a way to restrict the maximum GLSL version provided by the various
  `pl_gpu` backends, for testing purposes

Changes:
- load all vulkan function pointers indirectly, using a user-provided
  `vkGetInstanceProcAddr` function
- vulkan can now be built without linking against libvulkan.so
- refactor av1 grain data struct, splitting it up into "grain
  metadata" and "shader params"
- `pl_swapchain_resize` now recreates suboptimal swapchains even if the
  size does not change
- `pl_tex_blit` now requires the new cap `PL_GPU_CAP_BLITTABLE_1D_3D`
  for 1D/3D textures
- `pl_tex_params.host_readable` now requires the new cap
  `PL_FMT_CAP_HOST_READABLE` on the chosen format
- `pl_vk_inst_create` will now automatically load any layers needed for
  extensions specified by the user

Fixes and performance improvements:
- make `pl_color_adjustment.gamma` actually do something
- fix av1 grain shader for separated planes
- fix memory corruption in `pl_vulkan_swapchain_suboptimal`
- fix access mask on API writes to read-writable vulkan buffers
- fix some instances of undefined behavior in av1 grain synthesis
- fix av1 grain scale for PL_COLOR_LEVELS_UNKNOWN
- fix use of local #include for config.h in installed headers
- fix various incorrect literals for compatibility with older GLSL
- fix potential type error in XYZ input handling
- fix numerous backwards compatibility issues for older GLSL and GLES
  versions, across the board
- quench some meson warnings, as well as some compiler warnings
