AI-powered redaction for video, images, and audio

Stability Improvements

• Fixed a crash that could occur while probing video decoding capabilities on certain hardware and CUDA driver combinations. Decoder probing is now disabled to prevent unintended crashes.
• Resolved a race condition during track resizing that could cause objects to lose their associated tracks and trigger UI errors. Existing data inconsistencies are automatically mitigated.
• Restored missing vehicle and screen detection labels in the video list.

This update focuses on improving system stability and correcting UI inconsistencies in early 7.x releases.

Expanded Detection Capabilities

Redactor now detects additional object types:

• Documents
• IDs (e.g., driver licenses, passports)
• Screens (laptops, monitors, phones)

These detection classes are also available through the API.

Modern Video Format Support

• H.265 (HEVC) video files can now be imported.
• Exports continue to use H.264 for maximum playback compatibility.

Editing Workflow Improvements

• Full undo and redo support across video boxes, audio regions, and object grouping.
• New background (reverse) redaction options allow full-scene redaction while keeping selected objects visible.
• Escape key support for quick cancellation.
• Improved high-contrast object boxes for better visibility across complex scenes.

Audit and Traceability Enhancements

• Generate downloadable audit logs with structured session activity.
• Exportable session history data for deeper review and diagnostics.
• User names displayed in the server video list when files are in use.
• Automatic hash generation for imported and exported media files.
• API session metadata snapshots available for operational insight.
• TypeScript definitions published for API integrations.

Reliability and Operational Updates

• Improved crash diagnostics and export handling.
• Clearer behavior when sessions contain no redactions.
• Improved handling of live recording sessions.
• Multiple fixes across audio timelines, export status, imports, and full-frame redaction.

Operational Controls

• Added a Data Drop flag for transient or API-driven deployments where persistent data is not required.
• Enforced immutable session identifiers to prevent conflicts when reloading stored sessions.

Stability Improvements

• Fixed backend crashes during certain storage cleanup scenarios.
• Improved audio handling when video files contain partial audio segments.

API Enhancements

• OpenAPI specification exposure for improved API clarity and validation.
• Optional request and response validation.

Infrastructure Improvements

• Automatic CPU fallback if GPU detection fails.
• Improved server reconnection handling for unstable network environments.
