Continuous replay:
If the user replays a continuous recording from file and then end replay
with the 'My controls' or 'End replay' buttons, we now forget about the
continuous recording. This enables the usual in-memory record/replay to be
used subsequently. Also added a '-continuous' suffix to continuous fgtape
filenames.
New recovery system:
If /sim/replay/recovery-period is set and greater than zero, we
periodically save a single-item continuous recording to a recovery file
called <aircraft-type>-recovery.fgtape (with no date or time in the name),
doing so in such a way as to ensure that there is always a valid recovery
file even if flightgear crashes. One can then resume the flight from the
most recently-saved point by loading this from within flightgear or with
the --load-tape=... option.
Also did a fair amount of refactoring and tried to clarify the different
property nodes that we embed within recordings.
This background recording keeps the user aircraft stationary while recording
all movements of multiplayer aircraft. Allows one to look at replay without,
for example, disturbing continuous record to file.
This allows full-fidelity recordings of arbitrary length (limited only by disc
space) to be created and replayed. These recordings always contain multiplayer
information, regardless of /sim/replay/multiplayer.
When an uncompressed recording is loaded, it is not copied into memory. Instead
we extract individual frame information as required when replaying.
Recording to file is activated by setting /sim/replay/record-continuous to
true. We use the same filename pattern as ordinary fgtapes. The file format
is similar except for being uncompressed (so that replaying can seek within
the recording; gzip etc don't seem to support seeking within the uncompressed
stream.)
Lars T identified some cases where the launcher would fail to include
local aircraft due to them using weird ways to include additional
XML into their -set.xml. Add a temporary resource provider while the
launcher is scanning, to make this work.
Will pick to LTS branch once verified.
Was being shown before locale was selected, so always using default
translation. Fixed by deferring the dialog, and also added an assert
for debug builds, if trying to access translated string too early.
With this change, “Reload Input” will discover newly attached devices
on macOS, which previously did not work.
Also add correct detection of disconnected devices, which previously
was not handled well, especially with the new ‘keep trying to open
devices’ behaviour of FGJoystickInput.
Should fix:

Overlay menus work better than native popups for most use-cases, and
simplify integration (no window focus changes). Switch the remaining
menus to always use the overlay system
As part of this, fix how Overlay positions are adjusted, to avoid
the ugly zero-interval timer.
