- Introduced `--force-cpu-rendering` and `--disable-hiprt` flags to the runner command, allowing users to enforce CPU rendering and disable HIPRT acceleration.
- Updated the runner initialization and context structures to accommodate the new flags, enhancing flexibility in rendering configurations.
- Modified the rendering logic to respect these flags, improving compatibility and user control over rendering behavior in Blender.
- Added functionality to detect GPU backends (HIP and NVIDIA) during runner registration, enhancing compatibility for Blender versions below 4.x.
- Introduced a new method, DetectAndStoreGPUBackends, to download the latest Blender and run a detection script, storing the results for future rendering decisions.
- Updated rendering logic to force CPU rendering when HIP is detected on systems with Blender < 4.x, ensuring stability and compatibility.
- Enhanced the Context structure to include flags for GPU detection status, improving error handling and rendering decisions based on GPU availability.
- Introduced gpuLockedOut state in Runner to manage GPU rendering based on detected errors.
- Implemented SetGPULockedOut and IsGPULockedOut methods for controlling GPU usage.
- Enhanced Context to include GPULockedOut and OnGPUError for better error handling.
- Updated RenderProcessor to check for GPU errors in logs and trigger lockout as needed.
- Modified rendering logic to force CPU rendering when GPU lockout is active, improving stability during errors.
- Eliminated the use of xvfb-run for headless rendering in the RenderProcessor, simplifying the command execution for Blender.
- Updated the CheckRequiredTools function to remove the check for xvfb-run, reflecting the change in rendering requirements.
- Removed Node.js build artifacts from .gitignore and adjusted Makefile to reflect changes in web UI build process, now using server-rendered Go templates instead of React.
- Updated README to clarify the new web UI architecture and output formats, emphasizing the removal of the Node.js build step.
- Added a command to set the number of frames per render task in manager configuration, enhancing user control over rendering settings.
- Improved Gitea workflow by removing unnecessary npm install step, streamlining the CI process.
- Added logic to delete files after successful uploads in both runner and encode tasks to prevent duplicate uploads.
- Included logging for any errors encountered during file deletion to ensure visibility of issues.
