New Features and Additions:
- Added AJA source for AJA devices
- Added AJA output to tools menu for AJA devices
- Updated CEF (Chromium) for the browser source from 75 (3770) to version 95 (4638) (Absolutely amazing work by everyone who worked on this, especially the CEF community -Jim) [PatTheMav/RytoEX/pkv/WizardCM/VodBox]
- Added the ability to set different blend modes to sources via the source right-click context menu (similar to Photoshop’s layer blending for example)
- Added AOM AV1 and SVT-AV1 encoders (note that these are currently considered experimental, work best with CPUs that have many cores, and are only accessible for recording in advanced output mode)
- Added an OBS hotkey for browser sources to allow refreshing a browser source via that hotkey
- Added hotkey filter search
- Added hotkey duplicate detection
- Added a warning dialog when switching profiles that have settings changes that require a restart

- Added support for the RIST protocol
- Added official Flatpak support for Linux
- Added framework for future support of background hotkeys on Wayland
- Added an option to general settings to hide OBS from all capturing, allowing you to capture your screen without OBS showing up

- Added frontend event so scripts can know when OBS is shutting down
- PipeWire capturing is now more robust, especially in multi-GPU setups
- Sources will now be activated when viewing them in the filters dialog
- Browser sources are no longer refreshed when their size changes (useful when programmatically resizing them)
