Not even sure if it makes sense to do release this month? On the other hand not even sure if we will able to fix more than one problem in next 30 days ...

I would bring out a new appimage because DeJay needed the appimage with Color 3 Way working...

Yes, I was planning on making new appimages because Color 3 Way is used a lot and an error is not good.

I tried to update the text of Blur plugin in the manual. See if it is okay (to be added at the end):

Seems reasonable and I edited it some by changing one option to just use Reset and re-save the project instead of editing the .xml. Editing is open to mistakes -- I just made one and ended up with an empty .xml file which could be disastrous.

No, I would not change the code. I would left as it is. The reasons are multiple, for me:

Agreed. At least about 10 years ago it seems that the A_KEY code was commented out in HV (may have been longer but that is as far back as I could easily find). There does not seem to be A_KEY code in cv blur plugin which is a lot different then the HV baseline. This simply does not matter because HV code is the baseline for CinGG with some cv mods merged in and no serious attempt was ever made to specifically ensure CinGG was compatible for a cv project.

some strangeness with AgingTV gui params (they not as interactive as they should?) but I have't looking at this problem yet.

In looking at Aging plugin, I have seen no problem and am not going to waste any more time on it -- already wasted way too much time on Blur when for projects that are less than 10 years old, there was not even a problem. And the code matches that of HV-8 with the exception of the addition of the Reset button which is so valuable.
