Bino 2.8 is released

2026-07-31

This release brings several improvements:

• Added an overlay user interface for both GUI and VR
• Added a "Launch VR" dialog to the GUI
• Added support for remote control and scripting via TCP Sockets, Unix Domain Sockets, and FIFOs (in addition to the existing support for script files). This replaces the --read-commands option with a set of --control-* options.
• Improved support for playing audio files: a title image will be shown
• Fixed support for videos that don't match the VR screen aspect ratio
• Fixed the horizontal wrap artefact for 360° surround videos
• Fixed compatibility with newer Qt QMediaPlayer
• Removed OpenGL quad-buffered stereo autodetection; use --stereo instead
