Of course, the big news for the month of May is all of the work that Sam did on finalizing/updating the cinelerra-gg.org website on a new server. This was very much appreciated because the original server/format was put into effect in 2018. AppImages have been updated. The month of May release notes portion is below and I apologize if I forgot to get everything in there that was done. ********** Release Notes ********** GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 05/01/2026-05/31/2026 *Website major work by Sam:* Totally updated www.cinelerra-gg.org website released on new server on May 12. As previously announced you can now easily get to the location you need via the website or use these directly: - Mailing list cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org - Bug tracker bug.cinelerra-gg.org - Download server download.cinelerra-gg.org - Git server git.cinelerra-gg.org *Mail *was moved from a third-party provider to Mailcow on the server on 5/1. Advantages include: - Independence from external providers. - Full control over spam filtering, DKIM, archives. - One server, one bill, simpler administration long-term. - Better integration with the new Discourse Forum which sends notification mail through this server. *Forum* has been switched from WordPress to Discourse – a much better supported modern, dedicated forum connected directly to Mail. This has the same advantages as listed above for Mail. IgorB contributed an image for the website that was less confusing without console/multi-monitors. *Andrew-R work:* - Accept “q” as an additional option in the tipwindow to close in addition to current ESC, w, RETURN. - Remove turbojpeg-specific library build from turbojpeg which is not being used in CinGG. - *Updated x265* from 4.0 to 4.2 which now includes enabling of HEVC alpha encoding with addition of render format: h265_alpha.mp4. - A new command line switch “-l” has been added with the default working the same as before without using this new “-l” parameter; that is the default of the “l” loadmode of “replace current”. The most Useful values to set are 2 to load concatenated on one track (for jpegs) or 6 to load as resources only. Example usage: bin/cin -l 6 ~/*.jpg or bin/cin -l 2 ~/*.jpg. - Build fixes for BSD version 15.0 have been added. - There is now *lcms2* configure support for internal ffmpeg. *Andrea* tested and provided a lot of feedback as a result. This option defaults to auto and was tested as working with lcms2 2.18. Probably additional testing and usage is needed. - Simple *opencolorio* enable for ffmpeg is also now available but has not been tested to any extent.
