Hi all,
it is with great pleasure I announce the release of LiVES version 0.9.9.4

This release was sponsored by *your* donations:
http://linuxfund.org/projects/lives/

and by the Brazilian Ministry of Culture.





Changes in this release
-----------------------

- Implement instant opening for dv and ogg/theora.

- Fix breakage in ogg theora encoder (regression).

- Fixes for shrink/expand and shift_vertical effects (thanks to Brian S.
Julin)

- Fix various issues for ubuntu.

- Fix saving/loading of realtime fx defaults (regression).

- Fix textfun effect for 16 bit charsets (regression).

- Correct fix for sox version 14+ (regression).

- Support auto-deinterlacing for some file types (dv).

- Fix locale support for the multi_encoder, mjpegtools_encoder and RFX
effects (needs testing).

- Advise user when more multitrack backup space is required.

- Do not reposition cursor on multitrack insert if playback is paused.

- Improvements to the dv/hdv grab window.

- Various small bugfixes.


Release notes
-------------
a) This version features instant (or near instant*) opening of dv and
ogg/theora video clips. Simply open the clip as usual to take advantage of
this feature. The quid-pro-quo is that some other operations on these
files are slightly slower (copying, and encoding for example). However
LiVES implements a decode-on-copy system, so this slow down only occurs
the first time.

*opening audio still takes a little time. For example, opening a 5 minute
clip will take about 20 seconds to open the audio.

The instant-open feature may be disabled from Preferences/Decoding.

Auto-deinterlace is also now supported in instant-open mode. For now this
is activated only for dv format clips.


b) The format of realtime effects defaults changed for this version. Users
who have realtime effects defaults saved will need to set defaults again
and then save them. There is no automated migration path for old defaults.


c) Experimental improved locale support has been implemented in encoders
and RFX effects. The aim is to fix problems with non decimal-point radix.
Please report any oddities with this to the project mailing list, noting
your locale and radix values.
