* On replay on macOS we use NSOpenGLContext so we can render to windows.
* We have two windowing systems on mac - one for Metal compatible outputs and
one for OpenGL compatible outputs.
* This means e.g. the D3D11 back-end can accept DXBC directly if the UI can
provide it, or compile from HLSL as before.
* More importantly, the Vulkan back-end can take SPIR-V compiled from any
source, or compile from GLSL as before as a fall-back.
* This will allow the backend to specify both the native format (e.g. SPIR-V,
DXBC) as well as a language it might be able to internally compile (GLSL or
HLSL).
* The caller will then able to decide for itself whether it wants to compile to
native format and pass that down, or pass the language down and let it be
built internally.
* Currently BuildTargetShader still only accepts shader source.
* The new function SetCaptureFileComments allows users to add comments to a
capture after creating it at any time.
* We also use anonymous union to remove the need to duplicate API structs for
backwards compatibility.
* The event browser called SetEventID from OnCaptureLoaded, which would then
call OnEventChanged on all viewers, which if they kicked off work could happen
at the same time as the later call to OpCaptureLoaded for them.
* In the mesh viewer this seemed to lead to a race condition and had a chance to
corrupt memory.
* The GUIInvoke object takes a QObject, and uses QPointer to check that
it hasn't been deleted when the callback fires. This prevents delayed
callbacks from executing after the object has been deleted and
crashing.
* In most cases the pointer is just 'this'.

* If the export doesn't need buffers, we export directly from the loaded
capture file instead of re-loading it.
* Add progress bars for the load step so it shows what's happening
instead of looking stalled.
* Reduce compression rate on XML+ZIP buffers as it took too long trying
to compress when exporting large captures.
* Mostly used for passing a progress float back during a long blocking
call like opening a capture or doing a copy.
* This is much more feasible for python to bind to.
* In several cases we just use a tiny lambda that updates a float anyway
since we can't push the progress directly into a progress dialog, but
need to let it query from a temporary in-between float.
* We enforce a naming scheme more strongly - types, member functions,
and enum values must be UpperCaseCamel, and member variables must be
lowerCaseCamel. No underscores allowed.
* eventId not eventID or EID, and Id preferred to ID in general. Also
for resourceId.
* Removed some lingering hungarian m_Foo naming.
* Some pipeline state structs that are almost identical between the
different APIs are pulled out into common structs. Where something
doesn't make sense (e.g. viewport enable for vulkan) it will just be
set to a sensible default (in that case always true).
* Changed scissors to be x/y & width/height instead of sometimes
left/top/right/bottom
* Abbreviations are discouraged, e.g. operation not op, function not
func.
* The UI dialog is now in Qt. We run qrenderdoc.exe with a very minimal
startup to display the dialog and send the report.
* The flow has been simplified to have less text and an easier time to
just click through and send.
* On the first report, the user is gently nudged to enter their email
address for contact and by default the email is saved for next time.
They're not nagged more than once about this.
* Optionally the user can select to upload the capture. This is always
default off, and there is a confirmation dialog making sure the user
intended to select it.
* After the bug is reported, a unique URL is generated and returned
which the user can then click back on to see if there's any update. By
default the UI will also remember the URL and check it every couple
of days and alert the user in the help menu that there's an update.
* This is to support python bindings - the pyside implementation of
QVector, QString, etc is not available to SWIG, so SWIG treates these
all as opaque types.
* Rather than trying to set up bindings that work for rdcarray and
QList/QVector, or implementing separate bindings, we instead just say
that the public interface must use the rdc types. In most cases they
seamlessly convert to/from Qt types anyway.
* In a couple of places we use an array of pairs instead of a map. In
future we probably want an rdcdict or rdcmap with proper dict bindings
in python.
* This is a *very* light-touch analytics system that will track the
simplest and most anonymous statistics that can be useful in
determining which features are most used or perhaps underused, and
where it's best to direct development attention.
* It is entirely implemented in the UI layer, no analytics-gathering
code exists in the library that's injected into programs, and of
course no capture data (screenshots, resource contents, shaders, etc
etc) is transmitted.
* Once it's turned on, it will apply to both development and release
builds. It tracks stats over a month, and then at the beginning of a
new month it sends the previous data.
* When the user first starts up a build with analytics if there's no
previous analytics database then they are informed of the new code and
asked to approve it. They have the option of selecting to manually
verify any sent reports, or just opt-ing out entirely.
