There is nothing new to report in this release. It simply contains a few fixes and translation updates over the previous version.

• Add Italian translation.
• And, of course, many bug fixes, especially for newer features.

• Added a simple Text video filter also with rectangle control overlay. This is a dynamic text filter supports pre-defined variables: Timecode, Frame #, File date, File name.
• Enabled parallel video processing for Encode File on systems with more than 2 logical cores when not using GPU Processing. This makes encoding faster when using filters, transitions, and compositing.
