AutoSplit v2.0.0-alpha.2

A pre-release that contains all of the changes for 2.0.0 so far.
The only outstanding change since the previous pre-release is the addition of Capture Device capture method. THIS IS VERY EXPERIMENTAL. It's also not performant at all.
Checkout https://github.com/Avasam/Auto-Split/tree/camera-capture-split-cam-option#capture-method--capture-device for more details.
There's also a bunch of bugfixes.

Some known issues:
#20 start_auto_splitter starts immediately
#21 Windows Graphics Capture API's region is misaligned from selection

AutoSplit v2.0.0-alpha.1

A pre-release that contains all of the changes for 2.0.0 so far.
This pre-release exists for people to try out the new capture methods, especially the Windows Graphics Capture API.
Read Toufool#141 for more details
Amongst a few fixes and a totally new UI, this also includes support for hotkeys with modifiers, Image comparison method and default delay time in the image filename.
The settings file is now a human readable toml file, but your old settings won't be compatible.
Use at your own risks.
