Production Release v1.1.0 - Stable

[1.1.0] - 2025-11-02

Added

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Response Handling - Fixed recording/streaming control commands to properly validate response success flags

  • obsws_start_recording(), obsws_stop_recording() now correctly check response->success
  • obsws_start_streaming(), obsws_stop_streaming() now correctly check response->success
  • Test suite now properly allocates and validates response objects for all control operations

• Scene Transformation Protocol - Fixed SetSceneItemTransform requests to use correct OBS WebSocket v5 field names

  • Changed JSON field from "transform" to "sceneItemTransform" (OBS protocol compliance)
  • All transformation tests (translation, rotation, scaling) now generate correct protocol messages
  • Scene item transformations now work reliably with OBS Studio

Project Professionalization

• File Structure - Reorganized for professional release

  • Renamed library.c → libwsv5.c to follow professional naming conventions
  • Renamed library.h → libwsv5.h to avoid generic naming conflicts
  • Consolidated multiple test files into single test.c executable
  • Removed deprecated and obsolete test files

• Author Attribution - Added comprehensive headers to all source files

  • Author: Aidan A. Bradley (Architect, Author, Maintainer)
  • Consistent copyright and license attribution throughout codebase
  • Professional file descriptions and purpose statements

• Documentation Suite - Complete professional documentation

  • README.md - User-friendly quick start guide with prerequisites, installation, and examples
  • CHANGELOG.md - Detailed version history and progression (this file)
  • API_REFERENCE.md - Wiki-style function reference for all 50+ public APIs
  • Doxygen - Configured to generate comprehensive HTML and PDF documentation

• Code Quality - Normalized all comments and naming conventions

  • Removed unprofessional naming patterns
  • Standardized comment style throughout
  • Simplified test output descriptions
  • Professional section headers and formatting

Testing Enhancements

• Test Suite Refinement - Unified test binary with clear, professional descriptions
  • All tests show proper help output with normalized descriptions
  • Test sections properly identify sections and test progress
  • Improved statistics tracking and result reporting
  • 55/58 tests passing (94.8% success rate)

Technical Changes

Protocol Compliance

• Recording/streaming commands now validate both transport-level errors and application-level success
• Scene transformations strictly follow OBS WebSocket v5 JSON field naming specifications
• Improved error detection and reporting for protocol violations

Memory Management

• Standardized response handling pattern across all control operations
• Ensured proper cleanup with explicit obsws_response_free() calls
• Validated response allocation before checking success flags

Build System

• CMakeLists.txt updated to reference new professional filenames
• Single unified test executable improves distribution simplicity
• Doxygen configuration updated for new file structure

Known Issues Fixed

• Recording control commands now properly validate responses
• Streaming control commands now properly validate responses
• Scene item transformations now use correct protocol field names
• Scene rotation tests now work reliably
• Scene translation tests now work reliably
• Scene scaling tests now work reliably

Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible with 1.0.0

Deprecations

None
