v0.7.5

Playlist and Editing

This is the first version that supports some basic editing and improves upon
the playlist panel by making it interactive.

• The Playlist panel's functionality has been simplified. It is there only to
  create an empty track or start a new EDL with one clip from the Files Panel.
  The in and out points are respected when the clip is added.
• Added an Edit/Frame/Cut, Edit/Frame/Copy, Edit/Frame/Paste and
  Edit/Frame/Insert to cut, copy, paste and insert one frame (video and audio)
  of any media. Currently, it does not support transitions, that are removed.
  As soon as one of these commands is used, a new EDL is created.
• Added an Edit/Slice to cut a clip in half at the current time location.
• Added an Edit/Remove to remove the clips that intersect the current time
  location.
• Added Drag and Drop functionality to the Files Panel into the Timeline
  Window as well as to the Playlist panel to add clips and create an EDL.
