Full Changelog: v1.5.2...v2.0.0-alpha

Note

This is an alpha release that has not been thoroughly tested but I thought it was better to try and release something somewhat functional rather than nothing. Bugs are expected

Installation

Unfortunately installers are not yet functional so installation is manual. However, I thought it was better to try and release something rather than nothing

Windows

1. Copy the plugin libraries to the folder where the rest of the plugins are installed (for me this is C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit)
2. Copy the locale files to where the folder where the rest of the plugin locale files are installed (for me this is C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-text-slideshow\locale)

Linux

1. Copy the .so to the location where the rest of the plugin .so files are located (for me on Kubuntu 22.04.2 this is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins)
2. Copy the locale files to the location where the rest of the plugin locale files are located (for me this is at /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/obs-text-slideshow/locale)
