- Document that Vulkan now passes an end-to-end upload/blit/download test
on real hardware.
- List recently landed fixes: shared vertex/fragment UBO, descriptor set
layout, render pass dependencies, image layout transitions, framebuffer
and sampler caching, grayscale swizzle, texture-enable uniforms.
- Add remaining gaps: iterative/pin-pong multi-pass Blit, 1/3-channel
upload/download alignment, and full viewer/proxy/export smoke tests.
- Cache a VkFramebuffer per texture to avoid creating/destroying one for
every Blit() call.
- Create and cache both linear and nearest samplers; honor
Texture::Interpolation in descriptor writes.
- Add single-channel image-view component swizzle (R -> RGB, A = 1) to
match OpenGL grayscale behavior.
- Set texture-enable uniforms (NAME_enabled) when shaders declare them.
- Guard Blit() with null destination and emit a clear warning instead of
recording an invalid render pass.
ctest passes 4/4 in both dynamic-backend ON and OFF builds.
- Add shared UBO layout across vertex + fragment stages so vertex
uniforms like ove_mvpmat compile and bind correctly.
- Rewrite uniform extraction/injection to avoid corrupting the UBO
block and to keep explicit sampler bindings stable.
- Make the UBO and sampler descriptor bindings visible to both vertex
and fragment stages.
- Add layout locations for vertex varyings (ove_texcoord) and fragment
inputs so SPIR-V generation succeeds.
- Extend TransitionImageLayout() to cover all layout pairs used by
upload/download/clear/blit.
- Add subpass dependencies to the cached render pass and leave
destinations in SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL after Blit().
- Move descriptor allocation before command recording and abort cleanly
if allocation fails; switch Blit() to the persistent linear sampler.
- Add a gtest that creates a Vulkan backend, uploads a red U8 RGBA
texture, blits through the default pass-through shader, and verifies
the downloaded pixel is red. This test passes on the current system.
ctest passes 4/4; DynamicRenderBackend.* passes 3/1 (Vulkan fallback
skipped because Vulkan is available).
- Remove unconditional VK_KHR_swapchain request; offscreen renderer needs
no device extensions, fixing failures on headless/CI setups.
- Enumerate physical devices properly and pick the first one with a
graphics queue family instead of blindly choosing device 0.
- Check vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices/vkBindImageMemory/vkBindBufferMemory
results.
- Validate FindMemoryType() result before allocation and log clear errors.
- Add a persistent linear sampler created in PostInit and destroy it in
DestroyInternal.
- Fix DestroyInternal() early-return leak: now tears down the instance
even if device creation failed.
ctest passes 4/4.
- dynamic plan: mark that RenderManager::backend() now syncs with
DynamicRenderer's actual loaded backend after internal fallback.
- manual test plan: add checks in 10.2/10.3 that RenderManager reports
the actual runtime backend (OpenGL after Vulkan fallback).
No code changes; ctest passes 4/4.
DynamicRenderer::Load() can internally fall back from Vulkan to
OpenGL when the Vulkan library is missing or is_available() fails.
Previously RenderManager::backend_ stayed at kVulkan, so callers
asking RenderManager::backend() got the wrong answer. After a
successful dynamic load, sync backend_ from
DynamicRenderer::backend_name() and log any fallback.
ctest still passes 4/4 in build-default-on.
- Add PickRenderableFormat / IsColorAttachmentSupported so 3-channel
Vulkan formats fall back to 4-channel when unsupported.
- Make oakvulkan target and C ABI check conditional on Vulkan_FOUND;
skip liboakvulkan build/dependencies when Vulkan headers/libs are
absent.
- Update Preferences tooltip to reflect Vulkan is an experimental
prototype that may fall back to OpenGL.
- Revise dynamic backend plan doc: phase 3/4/5 described as prototype
frameworks with runtime validation pending, and list recent Vulkan
fixes (init idempotency, descriptor/sampler lifetime, dynamic
viewport/scissor, render pass clear, format probing).
Both OAK_ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RENDER_BACKEND=ON and OFF configurations
build and pass ctest (4/4).
- 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.
