-### Changes (in no particular order):<br>
--Major restructure<br>
--I've broken out major chunks of functionality into separate files to make them easier to deal with and read<br>
----I've tried to break functions down into multiple smaller parts when possible<br>
----I've taken a more object oriented approach in some places<br>
----I've removed features that didn't fit my needs<br>
----Removed functionlaity for tracking multiple faces<br>
----Removed options I didn't forsee myself using (this was intended to be just for me)<br>
--Added more threading and multi-processing<br>
----The webcam (and some new image processing) are now on a separate process<br>
----Previews are now a separate process because I didn't want to deal with the related performance weirdness<br>
----Console messages are now handled via a helper thread, idk if it does any good, but it can't hurt<br>
----VTS communication is also handled via a helper thread<br>
--Added image pre-processing<br>
----I'm now applying a gamma curve to the webcam output to make faces more visible<br>
----The gamma curve is calculated after face tracking is done, it uses a copy of the webcam frame and face location data so get the average   brightness of the face<br>
----This has drasitcally improved low light performance<br>
----It also lets me run the webcam with no gain<br>
----Removed the separate library that handled the webcam, then broke that off into a separate library again<br>
----The stuff around the webcam is still simpler now, most of the existing cases didn't apply to my use case<br>
--Revamped the way features are calculated and normalized<br>
----This was kind of my original intent, my eyes kept registering as closed when they were not<br>
----Removed features that didn't seem to be used by Vtube Studio<br>
----Added functionality to apply response curves to features<br>
----Removed the calibration period in favor of a system where the limits of features slowly decay towards a center point<br>
----Removed the average from the way featured are normalized<br>
--Added a feature to prevent errant eye movements<br>
----Each eye has an average confidence and standard deviation calculated every frame<br>
----eye movements more than two standard deviations below average are severely restricted<br>
----The restriction is based on how far the confidence is from the cutoff point<br>
--Added early exits to situations where subsequent steps will fail<br>
--The main process skips frames when the webcam falls behind, once webcam latency is long enough to be late it will remain behind otherwise<br>
--Added warnings to various states such as late webcam frames, longer than ideal frames, and early exits<br>
--Changed which stats are shown on exit, added some stats that get tracked like webcam latency<br>
--Added conditions to skip steps when they are unnecessary, such as not rotating the eye images for small angles<br>

-I was going to do more documentation but github's markdown does not work in any sensical way
-
-idk, I'll add a readme or something, but I tried to make install instructions and it randomly started bolding list items
+actual documentation is in the README.txt because working in plain text is easier than making github's markdown cooperate
