I noticed an extra unconditional colorspace conversion +to and from RGB was added for all YCbCr (YUV) video sources. In addition, I +have enabled the avcolor_space filter on OS X since it works now. + + +Version 0.5.8 - September 12, 2010 + +The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is 0.6. +This is a maintenance release to address some bugs that appeared +thus far in the 0.5.x series. Beyond that is a few enhancements: + +* Added EXIF-based auto-rotation of images to pixbuf and qimage producers. +* Improved quality of libswscale-based image conversion and scaling. +* Added channelswap and panner audio filters; panner also does balance. +* Improve audio waveform and add audiowave video filter. +* Enhanced luma filter to work with animated filters such as affine. +* Automatically crop 8 bottom lines of 1088 source in a 16:9 project + (common in Canon EOS digital cameras). +* Added support for inline images in kdenlivetitler. + + +Version 0.5.6 - June 20, 2010 + +The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is 0.6. +This is a maintenance release to address some bugs that appeared +this far in the 0.5.x series.

Beyond that it adds two things that only +very specific users will see: + +* Added C# (ECMA CLR) binding (not enabled by default). +* Linsys SDI consumer now configures itself from MLT profile. + + +Version 0.5.2 - March 10, 2010 + +The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is SVN r21322. +This is a minor maintenance release, but it is interesting because it now +enables usage of libswscale as the default choice for image scaling, +image format conversion, and color space conversion. That gives better +quality and performance. In addition, there are some improvements in the +sdl_preview consumer to make it suitable for use in OpenShot 1.1. Other +things: + +* Fixed mlt++/MltFilteredProducer +* Fixed playing to the end in Kdenlive (mantis bug 1207) +* Fixed crash load uncompressed video +* Fixed compiling yadif for non-sse2 builds + + +Version 0.5.0 - February 15, 2010 + +The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is SVN r21322. +This is an enhancement release, confined mainly to the modules rather than +the framework.
