Physical split: app/{audio,cli,codec,common,config,node,pluginSupport,
render,task,timeline,undo,tool,shaders} plus coreengine, version and
ui/icons+colorcoding move to a new top-level engine/ tree, built as
liboakengine.so (shared). The render backends (oakgl/oakvulkan) move
with it and link the engine library instead of embedding a static
render-core subset (libolive-rendercore is gone).
- oak-render-worker now links liboakengine instead of the whole
libolive-editor object set: 336MB -> 2.9MB, no Qt Widgets UI
- the editor links liboakengine for the engine and keeps only UI
objects in libolive-editor
- install/packaging: GNUInstallDirs libdir on Linux, bundle copy on
macOS, oakengine.dll staged for NSIS, AppImage validation entry
- fix backend lookup for the new layout: DynamicRenderer searched
../app but backends now live in engine/; a stale pre-split liboakgl
in the build tree got dlopened instead, re-initialized and later
destroyed the interposed engine statics (full-suite segfault at
DialogSequenceParameterTab, found via gdb watchpoint)
liboakcore is now a shared library that exposes only a C ABI:
- every value class (Rational, TimeRange, Color, Bezier, AudioParams,
SampleBuffer) and the free-function groups (StringUtils, fraction
utils, Timecode) is wrapped in an opaque-handle C API under
core/include/olive/core/oakcore/ (init/copy/free + self-first
functions), implemented in core/src/capi/
- consumers keep the original C++ API unchanged through same-name
wrapper classes that hold the handle and forward across the C
boundary; original implementations moved to core/src/oliveimpl
(namespace olive::core::internal) and are hidden from export
- TimeRangeList/TimeRangeListFrameIterator are reimplemented inline
over the wrapper (iterators/containers don't cross C ABI)
- generic Value container stays internal (unused by consumers) and is
no longer part of the public umbrella header
- hidden visibility + OAKCORE_BUILD export macro; nm shows zero
olive::* symbols exported
- install into the platform's standard libdir (GNUInstallDirs);
Windows DLLs next to the executables, macOS into the app bundle
- TimelineWorkArea::in/out/length now return by value: the wrapped
TimeRange getters return values, and forwarding them through const
references dangled (found via RenderWorkerFootageTest crash)
- tests: 9 new pure C ABI test executables (oakcore_*_test) covering
every public C function; 4 stale legacy core tests removed (they
targeted a long-renamed API and were never built due to a malformed
option() that also kept OLIVECORE_BUILD_TESTS off)
- CI/CD: oakcore.dll staged for NSIS, liboakcore.so added to the
AppImage validation list, build-tree DLL copies on Windows
- oak-render-worker now builds from worker/ (own CMakeLists.txt) as a
peer of app/; RenderWorkerPool resolves the new build-tree location
- deduplicated the Linux install() rules for the worker
- worker-spawning tests resolve build/worker instead of build/app
- cd.yml: Windows staging copies the worker from its new output path
- Linux CD builds no longer disable Vulkan: the AppImage, deb, rpm and
Arch packages now build and ship liboakvulkan (the AppImage deploys
it via linuxdeploy --library so libvulkan is bundled too, and the
verify step checks both backend libraries); deb/rpm dependencies gain
libvulkan1/vulkan-loader; the Arch PKGBUILD gains vulkan-headers
- macOS CD installs vulkan-loader and exports VULKAN_SDK so
find_package(Vulkan) locates the Homebrew loader (previously the
Vulkan backend silently never built there)
- ffmpeg_bridge now installs to the standard lib directory with
/../lib RPATH instead of the non-standard ffmpeg_bridge/bin
layout (verified: editor, worker, oakgl and oakvulkan all resolve it)
- build guides (EN/ZH) document the macOS Vulkan backend dependencies
and the VULKAN_SDK variable
- Linux: olive-render-worker had no install rule, so it was missing
from the AppImage, deb, rpm and Arch packages even though
RenderWorkerPool spawns it from applicationDirPath(); install it next
to oak-editor (verified: RPATH resolution of libffmpeg_bridge works
for editor, worker and liboakgl from the installed layout)
- Windows: ffmpeg_bridge.dll is built outside app/ and is invisible to
the ntldd dependency walk, so the NSIS installer shipped without it
(and without the av*.dll it pulls in); copy it explicitly and include
it in the dependency loop
- AppImage verification now also checks oak-render-worker, liboakgl.so,
libffmpeg_bridge.so and ldd resolution of all shipped binaries
- Add explicit QTabBar::tab styles to olive-dark/style.css so inactive
KDDockWidgets tabs render with a dark background and white text instead
of falling back to the native macOS light tab appearance.
- Update macOS CD to stage Oak.app alongside an Applications symlink
before creating the DMG, matching standard macOS installer disk images.
The custom Python bundling script was copying Qt framework binaries as
flat dylibs (e.g. Contents/Frameworks/QtCore) on top of the frameworks
already deployed by macdeployqt (Contents/Frameworks/QtCore.framework).
This caused duplicate Objective-C class definitions and crashes in
QAction construction.
- Skip any dependency whose basename starts with 'Qt' or 'libQt'.
- Process every binary in Contents/MacOS (main app, worker, backends).
- Fix YAML duplicate 'run:' key from the previous commit.
- Add -verbose=2 to macdeployqt so deployment issues are visible in CI logs.
- Pass -executable for oak-render-worker so its rpaths are also fixed.
- Add a verification step that fails the build if platform plugins are missing.
- Print otool -L for both main binary and worker to aid debugging.
Oak only uses KDDockWidgets' QtWidgets frontend. Building the QtQuick
frontend caused duplicate QML module registration when QtQuick.framework
initialized, resulting in a SIGABRT in QQmlMetaType::qmlInsertModuleRegistration.
- Set KDDockWidgets_FRONTENDS to qtwidgets in ext/CMakeLists.txt.
- Remove the -qmldir flags from macOS CD deploy since QML plugins are no
longer needed.
- Rename macOS bundle output from Olive.app to Oak.app.
- Rename editor binary to oak-editor and render worker to oak-render-worker.
- Rename crash handler output to oak-crashhandler.
- Update worker lookup, NSIS installer, Linux desktop/AppRun, crashhandler
symbol paths, and documentation for the new binary names.
- Update CD workflow paths and add -qmldir flags to macdeployqt so QtQuick
/ QML plugins required by KDDockWidgets are bundled, fixing the launch
crash on macOS.
- Update user-facing GitHub URLs to OakVideoEditorCommunity/oak.
Install git in the Fedora container before actions/checkout so the checkout step can clone the repository normally instead of falling back to the REST API.
- Arch: create the source tarball in /tmp to avoid file changed as we read it and exclude existing tarballs from the archive.
- RPM: run the Fedora build inside docker instead of a job container so actions/checkout is not hampered by a missing Git in the base image.
- Add CPack configuration in CMakeLists.txt for .deb and .rpm generation
with declared runtime dependencies.
- Add Arch Linux PKGBUILD template under app/packaging/arch/ and build it
inside the official archlinux:base-devel Docker container.
- Extend CD workflow with deb, rpm and archlinux jobs and attach the
resulting packages to the draft release.
- Extract libolive-rendercore static library to minimize backend link boundary.
- Add DynamicRenderer adapter with C ABI (oakgl/oakvulkan shared libs).
- Make OAK_ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RENDER_BACKEND default ON with OpenGL fallback.
- Implement VulkanRenderer prototype (textures, shaders, UBO blit, readback).
- Add backend-neutral viewer readback path (offscreen -> QImage -> QPainter).
- Refactor PluginRenderer to be renderer-agnostic; OFX plugins fall back to CPU
path on non-OpenGL backends while preserving OpenGL render path.
- Add Renderer::AttachOutputTexture/DetachOutputTexture and C ABI forwards.
- Update docs/zh/render-backend-dynamic-plan.md for Phase 3/4/5.
