Aegisub 2.1.8

(2010.01.29)

Changes in 2.1.8
- Fixed a bug with the Kanji Timer feature, where clicking some buttons before setting everything up could cause a crash. (#977)
- The Transform Framerate export filter didn't work correctly at all. (#1014)
- All common occurrences of "Could not lock buffer for filling" on Windows should be fixed. (#1028)
- Fixed a possible crash with an uncommon sequence of actions in the colour picker. (#1025)
- The Detached Video is moved into view on opening now, if it was partially or entirely outside the desktop area. (#1040)
- The version checking function was completely rewritten to work on all platforms and be more flexible. (#1071, #365, #970, #1080)
- The "play audio from video" function was removed, the Play buttons for video now only play audio if audio has been loaded. This is done because we can't support the playback reliably otherwise. (#1090)
- Handle malformed SSA/ASS files missing the [Script Info] line. (#440)
- Several strings that should be translatable weren't. (#791, #792)
- Fixed a glitch in the new DirectSound audio player, causing strange behaviour if dragging the selection start during playback. (#915)
- Split (by karaoke) sometimes created lines that couldn't be properly joined back by Join (as karaoke) later. (#929)
- If holding the Shift key while dragging audio selection start/end markers, sometimes the time edit boxes did not get updated (#942)
- Prevent making the audio selection have negative start or end times. (#942)
- The "relayer" function in Karaoke Templater did not work. (#950)
- Fixed a visual glitch with spell-checker suggestions in the subs edit right-click menu. (#971)
- The Hour field in the Jump to dialogue box was not filled in correctly when the box opened. (#1003)
- Added support for the undocumented \fs+ and \fs- tags to various transformation functions. We recommend avoiding these tags as they may not be supported in all renderers. (#1007)
- Rewrite the file type associations code and interface on Windows, to conform better to the guidelines and overall integrate better with the Windows shell. (#1037)
- Add support for the \iclip tag to the "Clean Tags" Automation script. (#1044)
- The Windows installation program now confirms that existing shortcuts point to an Aegisub version being upgraded before overwriting them. (#1046)
- Automatically set the video zoom level on video load, so the video never takes up too much space in the window. (#1054)
- Fixed the subs edit not being able to use all fonts on Windows. (#1072)
- Fixed a crash in the style manager when copying a style from storage to subtitle file, and the subtitle file already had a style by the name. (#1096)
- Automation 4 Lua truncated the "spacing" field to an integer on read back, instead of keeping it as a float as it should. (#1019)
- Rewrite parts of the video display to better handle OpenGL drivers with reduced features, notably the Direct3D-based implementation by default shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7. (#1020)
- The Windows installer will offer to remove an existing Mesa3D OPENGL.DLL file in the Aegisub install directory, as it's generally no longer needed for reliable video. (#1057)
- The Windows installer now installs VSFilter as csri\VSFilter-aegisub.dll to avoid possible clashes with VSFilter.dll files in other locations. Any existing csri\VSFilter.dll is removed.
- General improvements to robustness of the Windows installer.
- If upgrading from 2.1.6 or earlier, an existing Aegisub.exe will now be renamed to aegisub32.exe during installation, to help Windows update existing shortcuts later.
- If the offline manual isn't installed, clicking a Help button will open the online manual instead.
- On Mac, added an option in the Help menu to open a folder with example files and other goodies. (#1033)
- The Mac version uses wxWidgets 2.9 instead of 2.8.10, which overall gives much better stability and UI experience.
- Update to a newer FFmpegSource2 version that fixes many video-related bugs. (#1017, #1030, #1048)
- Many fixes to the Unix build system. (#831, #989, #1064, #1074, #998)
- Added an OSSv3/OSSv4 audio player for Unix systems. (#1089)
- On Mac, show a message while FontConfig is building or rebuilding its index of fonts on the system, for subtitle preview. (#841)
- Fix a crash issue, if trying to add a word to a dictionary where the word contains characters that can't be represented in the encoding the dictionary file is stored in. (#999)
- Fixed several bugs in the colour picker, causing the screen dropper tool to only work on Windows. It now also works on X11 and Mac. (#748)
- Fix minor graphical glitch with the main tool bar flickering when changing line. (#1117)

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Alpha 2

(2010.01.14)

Introduction
The Ubuntu developers are moving quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. The Lucid Lynx Alpha 2 is the second alpha release of Ubuntu 10.04, bringing with it the earliest new features for the next version of Ubuntu.

This is an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released on April 29, 2010.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d; and follow the on-screen instructions.

New features in Lucid
Feature development for Lucid is happening with full speed. Please see the Lucid blueprint list for details.

Please test and report any bugs you find:

    http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Updated Packages
As with every new release, packages--applications and software of all kinds--are being updated at a rapid pace. Many of these packages come from an automatic sync from Debian's Testing branch. For a list of all packages being accepted for 10.04 Lucid Lynx, please subscribe to lucid-changes:

    https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lucid-changes

GNOME
Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 includes the latest GNOME desktop environment with a number of great new features.

Linux kernel 2.6.32
Alpha 2 includes the 2.6.32-10.14 kernel based on 2.6.32.

KDE SC 4.4 RC 1
Alpha 2 of Kubuntu features the new KDE SC 4.4 RC 1. For more information about new features in Kubuntu, see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LucidLynx/Alpha2/Kubuntu.

Hal removal
Lucid Alpha 2 sports full removal of the hal package, making Ubuntu faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend.

Major new version of likewise-open
The likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4. The package supports upgrades from both the officially supported versions 4.0 (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) and 4.1 (Ubuntu 9.10), as well as the likewise-open5 packages from universe. Since this upgrade involves a lot of configuration file changes and in-place database upgrades, testing and feedback is appreciated.

Improved support for nVidia proprietary graphics drivers
Three different NVIDIA proprietary drivers are currently available: nvidia-current (190.53), nvidia-173, and nvidia-96. Thanks to a new alternatives system, it is now possible to install all three of these packages at the same time (although it is only possible to have one configured for use at a time).

New features for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC)
The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud installer has been vastly improved in order to support alternative installation topologies. UEC components are now automatically discovered and registered, including for complex topologies. Finally, UEC is now powered by Eucalyptus 1.6.2 codebase.

Download Alpha 2
Get it while it's hot. ISOs and torrents are available at:
(Ubuntu Desktop and Server)
(Ubuntu Server for UEC and EC2)
(Ubuntu ARM)
(Kubuntu Desktop and Netbook Remix)
(Xubuntu)
(Edubuntu)
(Mythbuntu)

Known issues
As is to be expected at this stage of the release process, there are several known bugs that users are likely to run into with Lucid Alpha 2. We have documented them here for your convenience along with any known workarounds, so that you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:

    * The wacom-tools driver cannot be used with Lucid Alpha 2. It is no longer supported for xserver 1.7, and also requires HAL for configuration which is no longer available. A new driver xf86-input-wacom is under development upstream but was not yet available in time for this milestone release. This is expected to be resolved for the final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

    * The Kubuntu alpha 2 desktop ISOs are too large to fit on a CD. They can be burned to a DVD or USB stick, or you can install using the alternate ISOs.

    * The notify-osd notification system has "debug mode" turned on to help people find erroneously urgent notifications. The bubbles appear like so. This is the expected behavior at this point in the development cycle.

    * Ubuntu Netbook Edition and other derivatives using gdm don't handle the default session gracefully (Bug#507121). After the first reboot on installation you can either:
o log out from your session, choose "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" (or other) on gdm and then log in again, or
o run sudo /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-set-default-session --keep-old une (substituting xubuntu or mythbuntu for une as appropriate)

    * On video hardware that supports KMS, the live CD sometimes does not reboot successfully, instead displaying the boot logo indefinitely. To work around this, you will need to power down the system manually. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. As a workaround, users can boot from a USB stick instead of from a CD. (506418)

    * On video hardware that does not support KMS, using the "full disk with encryption" installation option will result in a boot failure because the prompt for the passphrase needed for decrypting the disk will not be shown. As a workaround for this issue, users should boot without the splash option. (506717)

    * When running on Ubuntu Server, the plymouth boot splash screen does not exit after the system is booted. To get to a console login after boot, you must press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to VT1. Work on correcting this for the 10.04 release is ongoing. (506297)

    * Manual partitioning fails in the graphical installer due to a bug in ubiquity: you can select existing partitions to use as targets for installation, but you can neither create new partitions nor delete existing partitions. As a workaround, users can install using the alternate CDs. This issue will be resolved for Alpha 3. (506585, 507012)

    * Jockey (Ubuntu's restricted driver manager) doesn't yet support the new alternatives system used by the nvidia driver packages, so in order to install nvidia drivers you will have to install them from the command line:
        - sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-173 or nvidia-96)
        - select the alternative that matches the driver that you have installed
                (e.g. /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf for nvidia-current):
                sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
        - update the ld cache:
                sudo ldconfig
        - then configure your xorg.conf with:
                sudo nvidia-config
        - And restart your computer.

    * Because of the new alternatives system, the nvidia installer from NVIDIA's website currently doesn't work.

    * The fglrx binary driver for ATI video chipsets does not yet support the X server in Lucid. As a workaround, users should use the open source -ati driver instead. (506656)

    * Attempting to run 32bit applications which make use of 3D acceleration in a 64bit system will result in a failure. See (506435) and (506437). This is expected to be resolved for Alpha 3.

    * Alpha 2 does not include Wubi, the Ubuntu installer for Windows. It will be included going forward from Alpha 3. (498453)

   * LTSP can't be installed from Edubuntu's the text installer. If you want a LTSP setup, please use Ubuntu Alternate and then add the required Edubuntu packages using the Ubuntu Software Center. This is caused by the ongoing effort to drop the text installer off the Edubuntu DVD and move LTSP in the live environment. (507663)

Paint.NET 3.5.2

(2010.01.04)

This update resolves some feature disparities in the Text tool between GDI (XP) and DirectWrite (Win7/Vista). It also improves overall performance, as well as the correctness and quality of the Move Selected Pixels tool, the Image->Resize function, and the Hue/Saturation adjustment.

Changes in 3.5.2
* All font face variants (e.g., Arial vs. Arial Narrow) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista with DirectWrite.

* Bitmap font types (e.g. Courier, Terminal, Fixedsys) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista.

* Fixed some bad text kerning with the Text tool at small font sizes when antialiasing was turned off.

* For the Image->Resize function, the quality, correctness, and performance of Bilinear and Bicubic sampling modes have been improved. Super Sampling also has some performance improvement.

* Improved the rendering quality for the Hue/Saturation adjustment. Also made a new icon for it.

* Fixed many subtle rendering issues with the Move Selected Pixels tool. These were apparent when flipping or rotating a selected area.

* Fixed: The Line/Curve tool was applying pixel snapping to the curve nodes, which caused lines to "bend" when using the Shift key to constrain the angle.

* Fixed some extraneous CPU usage related to unnecessary or redundant thumbnail updates.

* Fixed a few dialogs that looked wrong with Aero glass with Remote Desktop or Virtual PC.

* Fixed a nasty memory leak with Flatten followed by Undo.

* Fixed some issues related to effects that took awhile to cancel. As it turns out, drag-and-drop was enabled at this time, which easily lead to crashes or hangs.

* Some Win7 systems could not detect that .NET 3.5 SP1 was installed, even though it was. A fallback detection function has been added.

* For plugin authors, the Effect class now has a pollable IsCancelRequested property. This can be used to improve responsiveness for expensive OnSetRenderInfo() implementations which are otherwise non-interruptible.

* For plugin authors, the Surface.FitSurface() method is now optimized to use multiple threads, which improves performance.
