Shifted from CacheTask to functionality built into RenderBackend. It was
a lot easier to control behavior this way without having to juggle a ton
of threads and race conditions.
Could likely be multithreaded further.
General code and functionality improvements. Moved more code out of the
OpenGL backend for portability. Implemented audio transitions.
Implemented basic transition animation curve settings.
Improves stability and cache reliability.
Earlier iterations were prone to skipping necessary signals (usually
leading to some sort of assert fail), particularly when track
optimizations were used. Those optimizations have been moved to the
viewer node so there's a higher degree of control over which signals
get optimized and in which ways.
I think there was an earlier commit with a similar name but turns out
I'd only done foundational work in that commit and never actually
properly set it up. Of course once I did, there were several issues that
needed fixing to make it work correctly, but now it works as expected.
Heavily optimizes larger projects by allowing cache jobs to only copy
what has changed.
Ensures their thread gets changed along with the viewer. The project
gets loaded/created in a background thread so the GUI can remain
responsive, and is then moved to the main thread for intended event
handling. However if the caches aren't parented, the hierarchy breaks
and the caches remain in a thread whose event loop is quickly destroyed.
Now that they're parented, events can be properly queued on them once
again.
Queuing the destructor caused a potential desync in the node graph that
disconnected blocks after they were reconnected elsewhere. Destroying
immediately keeps this logic synchronized.
Since auto-cache events start and stop fairly frequently (and are somewhat
heavy to create/destroy), we can save a lot of cycles over time by sharing
the same backend between them all.
The nodes now have more control over how their accelerated shaders/sample
functions are run, as well as how items are popped off the value tables.
This allows for various optimizations that we didn't have access to before.
Addresses scheduling issues where a backend might be closed (or even
destroyed) before it processes a waveform signal from a worker. Requires
extra multithreading code.
Fixes a common segfault where destroying a node may ripple a disconnect
signal up the graph and trigger something to try to access its
(now-destroyed) parameters.
Features a lot of timeline-related cache optimizations as well as general
optimizations and improvements in timeline behavior. Should improve
usability significantly.
