New builds are available. What is new is described in the release notes below. Sergio is this month's Hero having translated the website and updated the po files in Spanish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cinelerra-GG (Version Infinity) *Release Note*s for 11/01/2019-11/30/2019 for builds *Website*: Sergio has provided Spanish translations for the website. This is very much appreciated. 1. *Updated all Operating Systems on the local build machines* to be at the latest patch set. Debian 8 and Fedora 28 have been retired due to end of life and Fedora 31 has been added. In addition Centos 8 which was just released in October has a 1 time build available, but unless a Xen implementation becomes available, may not be regularly built. 2. *Reworked Audio* in the area of import samples, resampling, and playback speed sampling. This was a week’s worth of effort as many problems were found in the existing audio playback especially when playing backwards, when using the speed auto, and when large buffers were used. This rework fixed a lot of small problems and improved the program code for correct audio playing but does not affect the rendered output. Unless you use a magnifying glass and have exceptional hearing, it is doubtful you will notice the difference, but please report any problems. 3. Some of the original author’s *7.2 modifications *have been looked into to include the following: Added into Cinelerra-GG, the 3 new plugins – chorus, flanger, tremolo. Reviewed Pulse Audio and after merging it in, ended up backing it out because Alsa is much better and actually includes Pulse Audio with added improvements to compensate for any deficiencies. Better synchronization between audio and Playback was already achieved via #2 above of “reworked audio”. 4. *Usability Improvements:* *Spanish translation of the po files* was completed by Sergio with quite a large number of new translations added. This was a lot of work that is a benefit to many. The *prores opts files *have been updated and include a proxy version for ease of use (Olaf work). *Reworked the canvas zoom*. In the compositor, you can now use the middle wheel for zooming and moving the video with ease. Now scroll bars are available whenever image is off the screen. *Transcode 1:1* is now available in the Settings pulldown which provides a method to convert to a different format but most importantly gives the user the capability to be able to seek within media that does not have good indexing (see BT 337 for a few more details). Added potentiometer for the “beep on done” in the proxy and render menu so you can adjust the volume right from 0 for no beep to 100% for full beep. Bluray option file improvements and additions plus a bdcreate patch (Andrew work/discoveries). 4. *Bugs/Issues Fixed*: Fixed long-standing bug from original software where a specific setup caused a SEGV (reported and chased down by Andrew). For details, refer to Mantis Bug Tracker #335. Incorrect pix_fmt statements in ffmpeg opts files corrected to pixel_format (Andrew noted). Fixes to Compositor Background Color include: play with OpenGL driver retains color; flash when restart play in a couple of places is now gone for smoother viewing; the boundary marker is now outside the media and does not overlay any portion of the media. Small build changes to accommodate Fedora version 31. Duplicate close bug in vdevicex11 has been corrected. LV2 enhanced gui’s were not viewable in last month’s builds due to missing init but now fixed. Fixed hardware device type “none” causing problem as found by Andrew. Tweak to “remove assets” was done. Voluminous “buffer underflow” when using the default mpeg.mpeg proxy setting has been fixed via a patch to the ffmpeg code (Olaf reported). Updated about 13 other ffmpeg option files to switch from x264opts to x264-params to avoid potential future deletion of x264opts. Programmed some index rebuild fixes. Fixed audio big buffers bug for libzmpeg3.
