5 Commits • 4 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered key feature upgrades and performance enhancements for Deep-Live-Cam. Implemented 2.0c face enhancement and masking improvements with sharper output and smoother interpolation, plus internal refactors to boost performance and stability. Updated release docs to reflect v2.3 Quick Start. Upgraded dependencies for broader compatibility (PyTorch 2.8.0+cu128 for macOS) and added pygrabber for media capture/processing. Optimized Mac CoreML loading to boost FPS in the face-swapping workflow. These changes improved live-video quality, stability, device support, and onboarding efficiency, delivering clear business value through better user experience and reduced maintenance overhead.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam focusing on stability, performance, and maintainability across environments. Delivered a robust face-swapping module with FP32-prioritized loading and FP16 fallback, improved model path resolution for easier maintenance, and released Release 1.9 with key dependency upgrades. Maintained system stability by reverting non-working face_swapper.py changes and rolling metadata version back from 1.9 to 1.8 to ensure compatibility. These efforts reduced runtime errors, improved cross-environment performance, and streamlined onboarding for new deployments.
