Version 5

Initially I wanted to call this update 4.2, but there have been quite a lot of changes, and calling it 4.x was getting confusing due to the Godot version number as well.

Updates

• Added playback speed control;
• Adding pitch adjust for speed control;
• Added an auto-play option;
• Added a loop option;
• Better performance for loading in Audio; (by removing seeking at beginning)
• Some performance improvements in video playback;
• Updated documentation;
• A better build script for compiling;
• Some renaming of functions and signal names;

OS updates

• Added Linux ARM support;
• Possibility that Mac support is working; (We don’t have any testers atm who can confirm if the Mac build works or not)

Fixes

• Fix for error of multiple signal binding;
• Fix for video_ended signal;
• Fixed the build system for compiling on Windows; (with WSL)

Removed

• Removed Web support mentions from the project due to FFmpeg not being able to be compiled for web;
• Removed rendering; (this will be moved to another GDE due to the need not being high enough and the licensing becoming complicated to keep this in the main GDE GoZen)
• Removed EasyMenu for compiling as it wasn’t up to date and the build.py script became good enough;
• Removed minimal Linux build; (needing to rely on people having the correct FFmpeg version installed isn’t the best solution)

Support the project

Since last month I also made an Open Collective page which donations are specifically for supporting the development of (GDE) GoZen.
