MagicYUV 2.3.1 Final + 1.2

This is a major new release with new platform and application support. The codec now officially supports Linux (with VLC decoder plugins) and Mac OS X (with QuickTime encoder/decoder component and VLC decoder plugin) as well as adds a QuickTime encoder/decoder component and VLC plugins for Windows.

As these components are very new, bugreports are welcome! Please report any bugs you encounter through the contact options listed on the website.

MacOSX: Added QuickTime encoder/decoder component and VLC 2.1.x decoder plugin.
Linux: Added VLC 2.0.x/2.1.x/2.2.x 32/64-bit decoder plugins
Windows: Added QuickTime encoder/decoder component and VLC 2.1.x decoder plugin.
Windows/VFW: Feature: Added tray icons with tooltip to show basic information about current encode/decode process. Can be toggled from the global config dialog.
Windows/VFW: Fix: Fixed a rare crash with DxTory when recording at odd resolutions with conversion.
Core: Feature: Added support for I444 fourcc

As no critical bugs have been reported since the last release, 1.0rc5 has been re-branded as 1.0 final. No other changes have been made.

This can be considered a long-term-support release, meaning that all future versions of the codec are expected to decode all files created with this 1.0 release.

This is a bugfix only release for compatibility with MSI Afterburner, so this update is only needed for Afterburner users. The codec is at feature-freeze, only bugfixes are done before 1.0 final, which should be released in a week if no new bugs are reported.

Fix: Fixed a deadlock bug when the codec was selected in the MSI Afterburner Video capture tab causing the application to hang. This was caused by the application not properly unloading the codec DLL. The fix should work for other misbehaving applications as well (though Afterburner was the only one reported so far).
Workaround: The codec configuration dialog box OK button is replaced with "Save as default and Close" when it is shown from the MSI Afterburner Video capture setup. This is needed as Afterburner does not remember VFW codec settings at all, so the settings must be saved globally to the registry in this case.

This should be the final release before 1.0. This is primarily a bugfix release with some performance tweaks.

Fix: Fixed a serious decoder bug which could cause random crashes with certain programs. The fix works for all previously encoded files!
Improved: Overall decoder performance by 8-10% (mainly 64-bit, but the 32-bit variant should also see some improvement)
Improved: Memory handling, the codec now uses much less memory for both encoding/decoding. This is most noticeable when working with high-res (ex. 8k) files.
Feature: Added support for YUYV (duplicate of YUY2) and 2Vuy (duplicate of 2vuy) fourccs.
