0.54

update pypi credentials

0.33.0

What's new in 0.33:

No config file changes, this release still uses config_version=4

New features

• Added a camera widget (live video)
• Allow placeholders and settings
• Added keyboard debugging
• Added warnings if window size & display size aspect ratios are not the same
• MPF-MC now checks to make sure the MPF version it's talking to is compatible
• Change the default display size to 800x600 if a displays: section is not in the config
• Re-vamped Mac installation procedure. It's now a "real" install and does not use
  MPF.app anymore.
• Added a "volume" machine variable
• Added Interactive Media Controller (iMC)
• Added "anchor_y: baseline" option for text widgets
• Added gamma setting for physical DMDs

Bug fixes & code improvements

• Improved sound asset loading speed (uses SDL_Mixer for loading to memory rather than GStreamer)
• Sound assets can be loaded while videos are playing
• Sound assets can be located in sub-folders as many levels deep as desired (not just a single level)
• Fixed points widget
• Improvements to automated testing on Travis
• widget_player positioning fixed
• Better error messages for malformed slide configs
• Prevent crash in text widget when empty and back is selected
• Changes to support BCP 1.1

0.32.0

What's new in 0.32:

No config file changes, this release still uses config_version=4

• Fixed the widget z-order layering bug.
  Widget orders are now higher value z: settings are on top of lower value ones.
• Negative z: values are no longer used to target parent slide frames. Instead,
  target: (name) is used.
• Cleaned up debug logging so BCP frames are not included in it by default
• Events that are natively posted in the MC are now sent to MPF
• Fixed a bug to ensure that the slide_active event is only posted once per frame
• Fixed a bug that prevented slide frames from being animated
• Fixed a bug where videos were not stopping
• Allow the same slide to be used on multiple displays
• Switch to GStreamer instead of SDL_Mixer for loading and streaming sounds. (SDL2 still used for all sound output.)
• Sound file streaming now supported (streamed from disk instead of preloaded into memory)
• New "track_player" config controls sounds at the track-level (fade, volume, play, pause, stop, etc.)
• Custom loading & unloading events at the individual sound level.
• Lots of little bug fixes...
