- This revision brings audio bug fixes but also better performance when reading.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixes a bug in the file selection dialog: Click on OK when a directory is selected opens the folder instead of closing the dialog
- Various optimizations:
- Replaces Taglib with new libav 9 functions for reading thumbnails of audio files (a lib of less)
- Modify starter to force the use of SSE1 version on computer using Windows/XP
- Optimizes image playback when previewing
- Optimizes the creation of thumbnails for images without exif-preview
This new beta version also comes with a new help page structure.

March 16th,2013-Bug fix and openSUSE packages
Bug fixes:
openSUSE :
- Installation packages for devel version and texturemate extension are now available for openSUSE 12.2
- Packages for openSUSE 12.3 should arrive shortly
March 08th,2013-Bug fix and end of work on the rendering engine
Much work has been done since the last devel.
Bug fixes :
- Fixed bug related to anamorphism 16/9 videos stored 640×480 (SESTAY: 852×480 instead of 853×480)
- Fixes problems in moving video files (seek)
- Disable language area when the sound inclusion is deselected in the render dialog
- Corrects the display of information when uncheck the inclusion of sound in the render dialog
- Fixes several random crashes on Windows related to multi-thread when browsing directories with the browser
- Because of too many problems with libav 9.x on Windows, switch dll used on Windows packages to ffmpeg/libav 9(Zeranoe) version
- Fixed bug of positioning blocks to default position when you select a style in the slide dialog
- Fixed bug of inactif del shortcut in slide dialog when the selection is a shot
End of work on new rendering engine : Switches all remaining formats to the new encoding engine and remove the old engine
- To minimize problems, removes AAC audio codec in AVI and divx/xvid video codec in MKV
- => For libav 0.8.x, all seems ok
- => For libav 9.x, some problems remain:
- Error reading AAC channels in all file (read as mono)
- VLC+MKV error with h264 PQ and HQ preset
- webm error
- theora error/warning on reading (on first keyframe + read timestamp)
- => For ffmpeg/libav 9.x, some problems remain:
- Error reading AAC channels in adts file
- Cleans the code to no longer include preset and external encoders
- Removes the option for the use of threads for pipe operations in the configuration dialog (old encoding)
- Removes the option of positioning up in the case of export in HTML5 mode (too complicated for not much)
- Change the file extension of ADTS file to .aac (more standard compliant)
Note for ffmpeg users (Windows/OpenSuse/etc…):
- With ffmpeg, video deinterlacing seems automatic.
- So the deinterlacing options are totally disabled, even if they are still present in dialogs
