83-
The smoothing feature is greatly improved thanks to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
84-
85-
EMA is a smoothing technique that gradually adjusts values over time, giving more weight to
86-
recent data while still considering past values. Unlike a simple average, EMA reacts faster
87-
to changes while still keeping transitions smooth. By combining Frame Generation and EMA, Luciferin delivers an even more natural and immersive ambient lighting effect while
88-
keeping system performance efficient.

</li>

<li>Home Assistant integration has been updated to make room for this new feature:

<li>select.luciferin_smoothing_level entity has been removed.</li>

<li>select.luciferin_frame_generation has been added.</li>

<li>Night light: Use warmer colors to block blue light. The higher you raise the level, the
101-
more blue light will be blocked. The 'Auto' setting syncs with the night light setting
102-
in your operating system.

improvements:
121-
<ul>
122-
<li>You can now access other settings while using Test Image.</li>
123-
<li>Every change is now reflected in real time by the test image.</li>
124-
<li>The test image now allows for 4 levels of saturation (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%). This helps
125-
to test colors with various levels of saturation.
126-
</li>
127-
</ul>
128-
</li>
129-
<li>You can now open the Info menu along with the Settings menu. This allows you to check in real

time how changing settings affects FPS, without having to swap back and forth between the
131-
Settings and Info menus.

<ul>
219-
<li>Capture pipeline has been optimized for DX12 on Windows. Previously, under heavy GPU load, capture framerates would drop significantly, causing occasional LED stuttering. Now, the pipeline has been restructured to better utilize hardware resources, completely eliminating stuttering. This change, along with the previous SIMD extension released with the previous version of Firefly Luciferin, makes Luciferin one of the most optimized and fastest software for bias lighting available at the moment.</li>

<li>New effects and improvements to the existing ones.</li>

<li>Firefly Luciferin is now able to run on a Linux sandbox like Flatpak and Snap.</li>

<li>The response latency during Linux screen capture has been widely reduced.</li>

<li>Added a Tray icon and minimize to tray on Linux. Thanks @sorcererlc for the continued support.

<li>New non intrusive notification system on Linux.</li>
226-
<li>The Info menu now displays the current CPU latency. Lower values indicate better performance.
227-
This value can be influenced by your screen resolution, capture area dimensions, CPU/RAM
228-
overclocking, and AVX extensions available on the CPU.

<li>Home Assistant: Luciferin entities are now grouped under one devices.</li>
231-
<li>Update notifications are now less intrusive and no longer launch the update popup at computer startup. A simple notification informs about the available update, and you can proceed to install it by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting 'install updates'.</li>
232-
<li>Linux Wayland didn't ask you which screen to record when the recording permission expired.

Fixed.
