New builds are ready and it includes the addition of OpenSuse Tumbleweed. We had network problems here the last 2 days so it took awhile to upload them. There is also a one-time BSD tar file in the "File Storage" area and Windows10 limited. What is in the release is documented in the releasenotes.pdf as usual and this month's is included below. The plan for Multiple Timelines this month did not work out as we could not come up with a solution. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 01/01/2020-01/31/2020 for builds* https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual.pdf The newly converted to *LaTeX manual* is complete and you can view the PDF from the website under Download->Documentation→User Manual. From within Cinelerra, the shell cmds icon has a pulldown for network access to this manual. Existing users will have to change the reference in their .bcast5 directory Cinelerra_rc file from a lower case “m” to an upper case “M”. Although there have been numerous contributors, Andrey’s push recommending latex and setting up the Github and Andrea’s conversion of the contents from .odt to .tex made it all happen. 1. New feature of editing/using a *File by Reference* has been added. In the load menu, this would be the EDL strategy of Reference (uwe request in BT # 318). Warning on usage is in the manual. 2. *WinTV Hauppauge remote control* added for over the air TV from within Cinelerra. This requires a small kernel mod that was checked into GIT. Additionally the previous ATI x10tv and android remotes were modified to provide similar interface. 3. *Windows 10 with Cygwin* limited Cinelerra build is now available. See the manual for install and details on usage. 4. *Pulse Audio* was added as it was needed for the MS Windows port. You will have to build with it. 5. *BSD *patch re-created as it has been 1.5 year since it was updated (Yuri request) and a tar created. 6. *Usability Improvements:* Open EDL, a recently added feature, has been amplified. In addition to the Insertion Strategy in the Load Files menu, there is now an EDL Strategy for advanced usage to load as a Clip, Nested, or File Reference. Group highlighting improvements have been added for drag and drop editing to prevent dropping on disarmed tracks and to correctly notify user via color highlights when dropping or overwrite is acceptable. In addition, there is now stickiness when next to another edit making it easy to drop exactly next to that edit (IgorB BT # 362). Settings→Preferences, Appearance menu has been rearranged because the Flags area was running out of space. Snapshot and Grabshot default destination has changed from /tmp to $HOME/Pictures so that new users will not be surprised when a reboot deletes their work. Existing users will have to manually change the location in Settings→Preferences, Interface tab, Snapshot Path (Rafa suggestion). *More Spanish translation* adjustments have been made by audiovisual technician, Rafa, to include the newly added phrases of the last few weeks. This is on top of all of the Spanish translations recently made by Sergio. Refinement by Rafa is to accommodate the different interpretations of the audiovisual world, which is very particular in this regard with some appropriate nuances. 7. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* A build probe fix for a52 has been added, stdint.h (ferdnyc, BT # 359). Nested Proxy fix to save the nested files in $HOME/Videos instead of Cinelerra executable directory. This makes it possible that saving your project in proxy mode will work correctly and nested files will not get accidentally deleted when install a new Cinelarra (IgorB email). Reworked perpetual session load/save strategy to handle levels with Open EDL and undo’s better. Fixed 3 lock boobies and minor build cleanups. Loaded clips now have the filename and modification time in the comments. Left margin for meters in the Compositor and Show Levels is slightly larger (IgorB report). Load window filebox resized to be a little bigger so no words are occluded. Added a target directory option to the Transcode menu making it convenient for DVD transcoding. Fixed broken vicon. DenoiseFFT plugin had a SEGV in an edge case that has been fixed (David analyzed/reported). A fix for spurious hard edges has been added. Minor one last fix for xft font problem, hopefully the last. FFmpeg color space / color range fix but not verified yet (Dejay reported).
