What's new in this version:

New features:
Customer Requests:
- Added Abekas (.clip) file playback support, including display of alpha channel mask, and preservation of alpha channel when exporting
- Added a preference to allow the user to lock the audio to full volume when playing out to an external device (AJA and/or Blackmagic)

General:
- Added support for hardware-accelerated decoding of H.264 10-bit, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, progressive (not interlaced) content on macOS 15 (Sequoia) and later, when running natively on ARM. The Mac computer must support this hardware decoding for it to be available

Improved:
Customer Requests:
- Added a “close” command to the Switch Engine API to allow other applications to remotely close Switch player windows, thereby freeing external resources, such as AJA and/or Blackmagic devices, for use with other media or other applications. See the Switch Engine API Customer Integration Guide for more details

General:
- Improved Switch’s ability to tolerate large numbers of invalid keys in growing MXF OP-1a files. Previously, these malformed files would cause the indexing to abort, and therefore users could no longer see new media that were added to the file. Switch now works around these errors, so that new media continues to appear
- Switch can now workaround certain errors in DVL Seachange files, namely bad frame count and frame rate fields in the headers. Previously, these errors prevented these files from being used in Switch, but now they can be opened and played
- Improved Switch’s ability to find all audio channels, even malformed ones, in MXF files

Fixed:
Customer Issues:
- Fixed a bug that prevented the decoding and playback of certain H.265/HEVC 4:2:2 files on Mac
- Fixed a bug in the Switch Engine API, and related documentation, that made it difficult to add secondary subtitle files via the API. Switch was expecting to receive a command of “add subtitle ” but the sample app (and documentation) showed the command as “add subtitles ” (note the plural, “subtitles”). We now accept both variations

General:
- Fixed several bugs that caused hangs when playing growing MXF OP-1a files
- Fixed a bug that caused the display of redundant conflict entries in the analysis window for colorspace properties
