Hi Kdenlive devs & fans,

It's been a long time we have not released any piece of code, while much
work has been done on various points.
Our users either are either stuck with old 0.9.6 version (many little
bugs fixed since then) or take the risk to track development head.

As the laptop I carry everywhere has a too poor GPU to run movit (and
I'm not the only one), I tagged the latest commit before Sesse's work
merge as 0.9.6.1,
and picked the later changes not involving GLSL in a separate branch
("next" was available, maybe it was not a very good choice :-/).
I prepared a release version (CMake option) and tagged 0.9.6.2.
Before preparing a tarball, getting PPA builds and blogging about it,
maybe you would like to test a bit more this version (I don't edit
movies intensively these times) or have precises fixs in mind?
Up to you to react in the next few days ;-)

That being said, I think it shouldn't be hard to disable movit if it
fails to start. Once done, maybe we could think of releasing "master" as
0.9.8(.0), a useful milestone (to track bugs) ! Or do you consider it is
too far from stable ? We shouldn't disappoint the release-channel users...

Happy hacking,

Vincent

I recommend that you do not add another field to your release numbering
scheme. It is fine for git tagging, but please consider releasing the next
version regardless of its contents as 0.9.8. Consider not so much the
meaning of the version number but how it might be used by software
collections for tracking upgrades. etc. Also, do you think users really
want to have to remember to specify 0.9.6.2 instead of 0.9.6? They might
even think that additional .2 does not represent a code change but perhaps
some packaging- or build-related change.

Based on my brief testing while updating and supporting the
build-kdenlive.sh script, it is not stable enough.

=> relayed on planetkde.org, then quickly commented on phoronix...

time to update "release" packages, test, and comment...
and time for me to make a mess in master ;-)

So excited to publish this release, of course I went too fast...
my changes in fades and profiles where wrong
(audio fade shortcut doesn't work on split AV,
and profiles are all categorized in "file" category).

I committed the small patch in "next" (too few to make a new release).
There's also the problem of including the translation files in the package
(I wrongly believed it was now part of KDE release)...

Before delivering a new archive (new release, is there any other choice?)
maybe the best is to wait for more feedback (bug reports)
and let translators complete their work.

Please give me your opinion, I'm feeling sorry about the situation...

Regards,

Vincent.

I just wanted to say well done none the less. Release management is a
really hard skill and many much bigger and richer projects have just as
many problems as this, so don't feel so bad. Keep up the good work you
wonderful people! You have no idea how much I am thankful that this
project is still kicking :D
