  because of plenty of changes/fixes that are not to be backported

1.9.5

• CI: updated dependencies (x265, NDI6 et al.)
• libsvtav1 - hint to use crf instead of bitrate (more comprehensive enhancement in the development version)
• rtsp client freeze fix
• fixed capture from OBS virtual cam in Windows
• fixes some (rare) crashes

1.9.4
