New September builds are ready
Below are the latest release notes. *Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 09/01/2020-09/30/2020 for builds* The Bug tracker has reached number *500 in tickets *consisting of bugs and requests. *Improvements to the Manual *are ongoing with Andrea creating an Advanced Editing chapter and MatN very detailed review. Meanwhile, Andrew has been *stress testing* the code. 1. *Motion plugin* major improvements contributed by Georgy (SGE BT #509) and with his updated documentation added to the Manual. 2. *MotionCV and MotionHV* will no longer get built (but code still there). With Georgy’s better Motion plugin, it is preferable to not confuse the situation with multiple choices that might have issues anyway. 3. Because currently existing downloadable 4K webm files when loaded into Cinelerra were no longer seekable, we backed down the *dav1d* library from 7.1 to 5.1. Unfortunately it took some time to discover this as it is not a widely used format in CinGG. 4. *Usability Improvements:* *Transitions* are now playing much faster as using Cache has been added as a default. You might see a slight hesitation at the beginning of a transition when memory is being loaded then quite often it will play at full speed (Houku BT #495). There is a Settings→Preference for this called “Cache Transitions” and it is enabled by default. This may be eliminated in the future if there are no problems with the caching because everyone will want this speed up. * Drag Transitions* is available to increase/decrease the length and works similar to dragging a plugin (Houku BT #495). Reverse playback now also uses Cache so that it is faster (Andrew note of slow reverse play). 14 revised or new FFmpeg formats for rendering have been generated & checked (Andrew). Russian translations in ru.po updated by Andrew. Spanish translations in es.po updated once again by RafaMar. The Aspect height has been increased in size from 10000 to 32767 (related to Shipman BT# 505). Menu and tooltip for Undo reads “z or Ctrl-z” now to make it clear as recommended in email. Improved SUV patchbay and expand pngs provided by IgorBeg. *Histogram plugin* modifications include: - capability to calculate a multiple frame average (a user request driven by need) - slider bar Linear to Log with 50% being the default; originally was Log - the “average” is now used for each bin / values - code cleanup for better readability 5. *Bugs/Issues fixed:* Fixed “Clear Keyframes” which in some cases did not delete the right keyframes (IgorB, Andrea, RafaMar BT #501) and create the correct intervals. Tweak keyframe popup speed undo. Added id-s for keyframes and labels (similar to what had been done for plugins awhile back). Fix background rendering to have a “in process” state before actually complete (Andrew BT #497). Edge gui fix in the Automation code. Dual Monitor mode fix (MatN BT# 502). Layout Viewer screen was raised when others weren’t, changed to be the same (MatN review notes). Fixed Settings→Preferences, Appearance tab problem with line through Flags/Warnings (IgorBeg). Fixed cache aging bug and some cache lock tweaks. Modified to push Preferences changes all the way to the render engine; they were not getting there before in some cases. General code cleanup; for example moved code of location where the background color was set. Fixed problem if run out of memory where Cin exits instead of crashes (Andrew-R email report). 32-bit shared memory fix (Andrew email with dump). Undo hide plugin fix (Andrew reported). Fixed a problem that occurred if performing a delete while the Render Engine is running. Booby fix if running Preferences at the same time as the FFmpeg button first/last is being pressed. Alpha is being set to 1 for background color always now – just a missing thing. Modified Render Farm to turn off “linger” and Render Farm usage will no longer send messages it does not know how to handle. Corrected SEGV discovery on load project when in Create Resources Only mode (Pierre BT #510) which was a result of using the wrong copy. Original Move tracks up/down along with its shortcut is now back. Roll tracks up/down has its own new shortcut along with its own distinct functionality.
Thanks thanks thanks, for restored the old "Move tracks up/down" feature. And thanks for the consistency between Histogram Plugin and Histogram Bezier. For me, the new Cin_20200930 will be my "stable" release. Before I am using the Cin_20200531 release. Thank you so much. IgorBeg Il 01/10/2020 00:33, Phyllis Smith via Cin ha scritto:

*Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) Release Notes for 09/01/2020-09/30/2020 for builds*
The Bug tracker has reached number *500 in tickets *consisting of bugs and requests. *Improvements to the Manual *are ongoing with Andrea creating an Advanced Editing chapter and MatN very detailed review. Meanwhile, Andrew has been *stress testing* the code.
