If things stop working, try restarting your game. (@ThisAMJ)

Changelog
Fixed support for mods, as well as Linux support. Windows has full support for Steam Game Recording (barring perhaps Speedrun Mod?), while Linux has the feature in Portal 2 only.
If your game is freezing on Linux on launch/starting recording, it is a potential issue with hardware acceleration, which can be disabled in the Game Recording settings.

If you want the deets, here they are:
We (mainly @hero622) added support for the new Steam Game Recording feature into SAR, allowing timelines to be marked on various SAR-defined events. At the time, only Portal 2 support on Windows was considered, causing a regression for other mods and Linux. Obviously this was a huge oversight, my (@ThisAMJ) bad!
Not only that, but the portal color feature wasn't safe-guarded correctly to fail gracefully on unsupported Linux mods, so I went through and added support for those too.

Advisory
This update accidentally broke support for mods like Portal Stories: Mel, Portal Reloaded, etc. This was fixed by the next update.

---

Changelog
Features:

• improve coop invite menu loading time (credit @Nanoman2525)
• jump mtrigger type (same arguments as zone) (suggested by zach, impl by @ThisAMJ)
• add steam timeline integration (credit @hero622)
• velocity check tool for tas (check vel {xyz} <vel> [velepsilon <epsilon>] - e.g. check vel xy 269.45 velepsilon 2 between 267.45 and 271.45 horizontal speed - default epsilon is 1) (credit @Ewan1165)
• sar_portalcolor_* - change portal colors! Limited support in singleplayer, only crosshair and particles. Multiplayer has full support.

Fixes:

• coop ghost sync (mostly, except for the lobby)
• potential FCPS visualization crash
• TAS generated content bleed-over (some cases where raw records invalid data)
• format time for sar_speedrun_get_mtriggers output (suggested by @Jeremy-Vidaurri)
• NetMessages now work while dead (mtriggers, run resets, etc)
