StreamFX Roadmap for 2025

Added 2025-01-06 01:10:58 +0000 UTC

Failed to remember the password to the Atlassian account, so have a Patreonified Roadmap for StreamFX. Anything not done in one Quarter automatically spills over to the next, and if everything is done in a Quarter, we'll pull in work from the next quarter.

As Patreon does not support strikethrough styling, I've chosen to underline entries that are completed.

Q1 2025

Fix all the known issues with Spout/Sink (see release notes).
Migrate any Source/Filter with Source capture support to Spout/Sink instead which solves a lot of issues we have with those right now.
Add Spout/Sink to all Sources/Filters to optimize filter trees further, and export input, intermediate and output states to the whole Spout/Sink network.
Fully migrate Source Mirror users to Spout/Sink automatically using a proxy registration. This will automatically add the Spout (Video Texture) and Spout (Audio) filters where needed.
Sunset support for System-wide installations on Windows to achieve parity with other platforms. You will still be able to install Per-User and Portable, but the Installer won't ask for Administrator rights anymore. Also allows us to automatically update the plugin on Windows, instead of only Linux and Mac.

Q2 2025

Address any sRGB and HDR issues currently still present in Sources/Filters/Transitions, if any are left after Q1 2025.
Merge/Optimize Gaussian modes in Blur filter.
Reintroduce a separate Qt frontend plugin for all the frontend work, like update notifications.

Q3 2025

Initial work on the Animation System which will allows users to design and play animations with a full visual editor and preview window. Depends on the Qt frontend plugin for the editor part.
Initial work on the Templating System which is intended to allow users to share something like groups of sources laid out in a certain way, or even filters applied in a certain way. Should be able to support parameters so the creator of a template can allow the end user of a template to change fonts, text, images, or even select different layouts.
