+
+
+Version 0.8.0 - June 1, 2012
+
+The minor version is increased due to the addition of time properties!

+mlt_property preferring to use mlt_properties instead. In addition:
+
+* improve seek speed on AVCHD when using FFmpeg v0.9.1+ (NOT Libav!)
+* composite and dissolve speed improvements on x86-64
