🪼new release!🪼

This update marks a really big release! I've finally finished programming the GUI, and threading. It is very efficient, easy to use, and has persistence. It doesn't take much CPU resources in the background from my experience.

📃completed additions since v1.5.0📃

• Implemented GUI with egui (7c1917e)
• Added persistence. The application saves settings after exit. (cf96a2b)
• Organized file structure. (3aefe2d)

❗known issues❗

• There are none at the moment! Please report a bug by making an issue.

🪼new release!🪼

Hi guys! With this release, I've made new changes and additions such as brightness!

📃completed additions since v1.2.0📃

• Added terminal printing. (95aba1f)
• Implemented --brightness <BRIGHTNESS>, changes brightness of the LED strip. Brightness must be anywhere from 0.0 to 1.0 (95aba1f)

what have changed❓

These crates have been replaced/removed.

• xcap -> screenshots
• image -> screenshots::image

Here are notable changes.

• Changed image capture method: capture() to capture_area(). Instead of capturing the entire screen, only capture a portion which will be used for processing. This grants an incredible 60% performance increase! (b8fbeef)

🪼new release!🪼

This release grants major optimizations that significantly speeds up the program! The algorithm that computed color for each LED on the neopixel has been worked on. See what has changed below.

📃completed additions since v1.1.2📃

• Removed BufferStorage because of premature optimizations. (fff2858)
• Replaced --width, --height with --monitor. Useful for multi-monitor setups. (8dcd480)
• Added CLI documentation. (13d1feb)
• Removed nalgebra, smallvec crates from the algorithm; instead it will calculate color purely with math operations. This grants an impressive ~70% performance boost! (d7bbdd3)

❗known issues❗

• There are no known issues in this version!🎊🎊🎊

what have changed❓

Here are notable changes.

• Removed DMatrix in favor of SmallVec.
• Removed BufferStorage

This change grants a performance boost of ~6% in benchmarking (with depth=16, 1920x1080, leds=30). There are a lot of cons with using SmallVec in this use case. Cache locality is decreased, empty space wastes space, if depth is too high; performance suffers more than just using DMatrix.

If you're suffering from performance issues in this release, consider decreasing depth to below 30.

Using SmallVec in benchmarking offered significant performance improvements against Vec. However more benchmarking is needed.

alpha release‼️

this release is not stable! Consider using latest version instead if this doesn't benefit you.

⛔alpha release⛔

This release is from pull request #4. This release introduces changes that may break scripts so I am releasing this as a pre-release.

what have changed❓

Here are notable changes.

• Switched --width, --height argument to a single --monitor argument. by @porplax in https://github.com/porplax/jellyfish-rs/pull/4
• You can now choose which monitor to screen record; useful for dual-monitor setups, etc.
• Documentation for CLI arguments.
