6 The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is 0.6.
7 This is a maintenance release to address some bugs that appeared
8 this far in the 0.5.x series. Beyond that it a few enhancements:
10 * Added EXIF-based auto-rotation of images to pixbuf and qimage producers.
11 * Improved quality of libswscale-based image conversion and scaling.
12 * Added channelswap and panner audio filters; panner also does balance.

15 * Automatically crop 8 bottom lines of 1088 source in a 16:9 project
16 (common in Canon EOS digital cameras).

22 The recommended version of FFmpeg for use with this release is 0.6.
23 This is a maintenance release to address some bugs that appeared
24 this far in the 0.5.x series. Beyond that it a few enhancements:
26 * Added interpolation to the affine transition and filter.
27 * Added multi-track audio encoding to avformat consumer.
28 * Added interlaced field rendering to kdenlivetitle producer.

48 quality and performance. In addition, there are some improvements in the
49 sdl_preview consumer to make it suitable for use in OpenShot 1.1. Other
