mrv2 v0.6.1

v0.6.1

• Split the Save Session menu entry in two. There's now a Save Session As and a
  Save Session. The session filename is kept if the session file was loaded, so
  you can just use Save Session to overwrite it.
• Fixed creating of playlists with file sequences with absolute and relative
  paths.
• Fixed creating of playlists with different layers as it is not possible in
  .otio files to specify the layer to load.
• Fixed a refresh issue on color lookups that would show the previous frame
  values (or previous redraw values).
• Added video and audio codec names to the HUD Attributes and the Media Info
  Panel.
• Made all tabs in all panels adjust the packing of the other panels. Tabs
  open/close are also now stored in the preferences.

mrv2 v0.6.0

v0.6.0

• Added the options for missing frames on the Preferences. You can now:

  • Display black
  • Repeat last frame
  • Repeat last frame scratched

• Made loading of session files use Path Mapping for files and OCIO config
  so that if a session file is loaded from different OSes the files will be
  found.

• Fixed loading session from the command-line not showing the opened panels that
  were also open in the preferences file.

• Added the name of the layer to the thumnail description in the files, compare,
  playlist and stereo panels.

• Added anaglyph, scanline, columns and checkered stereo 3D.

• Added a new Stereo 3D Panel to control the stereo.

  • To use it, you load a clip with left and right views (usually a v2
    multipart openexr). Then, open the Files Panel and select the clip and
    layer to use.
  • Open the Stereo Panel and select the Input to "Image". That will clone
    the clip and select the opposite view (ie. right if you selected left).
  • Choose the Output for the Stereo 3D (Anaglyph, Checkered, etc).

• You can also use the Stereo 3D Panel with two clips (movies or sequences),
  but you need to set it manually.

  • Open the Files Panel, load the two clips. Select one of them.
  • Open the Stereo 3D Panel, select the other clip. Then select Input as
    "Image".
  • Choose the Output for the Stereo 3D (Anaglyph, Checkered, etc).

• Made File/Clone (Right Mouse Button on Files Panel clip) respect the frame
  and playback state of the original clip.

• Added a File/Refresh Cache (Right Mouse Button on Files Panel clip) to
  refresh the cache. This is useful when viewing a partially rendered
  sequence.

• Made thumbnails in Files, Compare, Stereo 3D and Playlist panels show the
  actual layer (color channel).

• Made timeline thumbnail reflect the actual layer (color channel).

• Allowed saving annotations to a PDF. Both picture thumbnails as well as
  text notes are saved.

• Made Media Info Panel refresh every frame when there's a Data Window present.

• Fixed safe areas partially disappearing when zooming out.

• Made session file store and restore the current time in the timeline.

mrv2 v0.5.3

v0.5.3

• Made area selection allow it to select 1 pixel easier by a single click.
  To disable it, you just need to switch to a new action mode (drawing, etc).
• Some users on older macOS versions reported problems with the Privacy
  mechanism of the OS on Documents, Desktop and Download directories.
  The problem is not there if we use the native file chooser. I've switched
  the default on macOS to use the native file chooser.
• Added a soft brush for annotations on all shapes. You access it from the
  Annotation panel which can be opened from the menus or by clicking twice on
  any of the draw tools. The algorithm for smooth brushes is not yet perfect,
  as it can sometimes lead to an overlapping triangle on self intersections.
• Allowed splatting a brush stroke if clicking only once.
• Made Pen size in annotations go as low as 2 pixels. One pixel tends to
  vanish and have issues when panels are open.

  support UV mapping and indexed triangles.
• Fixed flickering of timeline thumbnail if switched to on first and then
  later set it to off in the preferences.
• Added a session file to store a mrv2 session (.m2s files)
  All files loaded, ui elements, panel values, etc. are saved and restored.
• Fixed a potential crash when using One Panel Only.

  without having to draw anything (or in addition to the drawn elements).
• Made view take the focus upon entering except when typing in the text tool.
• Fixed search in the Hotkey window which was missing the last character of
  the function.
• Fixed search repeatedly in the Hotkey window which was searching from the
  topline instead of from the last selected item.
• Allowed annotation drawing outside of the canvas once again.
• Fixed precision issues on annotation drawings.
• Made annotations respond to R, G, B, A channels changing.
• Removed ngrok documentation as it was incorrect for internet access.
• Fixed resizing of viewport not taking into account the status bar, leading
  to zoom factors of 1/1.04 instead of 1.
• Fixed VPX building on docker container which was recently not detecting neither compiler correctly.

mrv2 v0.5.2

v0.5.2

• TCP Control Network port number is now saved in the preferences.
• Volume control is now saved in the preferences.
• Mute control is now saved in the preferences.

  internet using the free ngrok service. This allows a single mrv2 server and
  a single mrv2 client to connect for free albeit for non-commercial projects.
  For multiple clients or commercial ventures, you need to pay for one of
  ngrok's plans or use another server of your choosing that will allow you to
  open a network port.
• Added parsing of hostname to extract tcp:// and :port from it.
• Upped the network protocol version used. Now it is 2. You can no longer
  use v0.5.1 with v0.5.2 or else the paths will get garbled.
• Fixed drawing and erasing of shapes getting drawn in different order.
• Annotations now can only be drawn inside the image instead of everywhere in
  the viewport.
• Fixed annotations ghosting not being drawn transparent in some areas and more
  solid in others.
• Made volume slider knob more attractive.
• Hotkey editor now has a close button on Windows.
• Fixed toggling of magnify texture filtering.
• Added hotkey entry for toggling minify texture filtering.
• Added magnify texture filtering to the list of hotkeys as it was missing.
• Added opacity (alpha) to drawing tools.
• Fixed a major memory leak when switching images which would show up mostly
  on Linux.

mrv2 v0.5.1

v0.5.1

This is a minor release with several important bug fixes.

• Made Path Mappings get saved to a different file (mrv2.paths.prefs) instead
  of the main preferences file.
• Fixed a Windows input of accented (foreign) characters in Text tool.

  is used does the drawing get reversed.
• Made cursor re-appear if drawing and using the right mouse button menu.
• Fixed saving of annotations in EXR imges when they were big.
• Fixed network connection not syncing the UI when a panel was closed with
  the red dismiss button instead of a hotkey or from the menu.

mrv2 v0.5.0

v0.5.0

• Added networking to mrv2. You can have a server and one or more clients and
  they will all colaborate with UI, pan and zoom, color transformations,
  playback, audio and annotations. They can all be set to send or accept any
  item individually, from either the Preferences or the Sync menu.
  The server should contain the media to be reviewed. Upon a connection by any
  client, the client will attempt to synchronize with the server.
  The sever and client are on a LAN and if both the client and server use the
  same paths to the media, the client will get all of its media loaded
  automatically.
  If they don't have the same paths, each file will be to the list of path
  mappings set in the Preferences.
  Finally, if that fails, the files will be compared on its base name
  and if matched, it will get accepted as the same clip, with a warning.
  If none of this is true, an error will appear, but the connection will
  continue. However, syncing among multiple clips may show the wrong clip.
• Added Path Mapping to deal with paths being different on each platform, client
  or server.
• Fixed dragging of the timeline outside of the in-out range. Now it will
  clamp the slider.
• Fixed a subtle bug in translations of Preferences' tree view which could lead
  to the wizard panel not show.
• Fixed a potential crash on log panel opening (when it was already opened).
• Fixed a bug on Windows and macOS that would size the panels beyond the bottom
  of the window.
• Added Environment Map options to python API.
• Fixed Luminance label spilling into the black areas of the pixel bar.
• Fixed Luminance tooltip flickering on macOS.
• Fixed Media Info Panel not showing up when the dockgroup was created for the
  first time.
• Fixed cursor disappearing on the action tool bar when a draw mode was
  selected. Now it only disappears when it is in one of the views.
• Added saving of annotations when saving movie files or sequence of images.
• Fixed saving on Windows of movies creating a color texture error.

mrv2 v0.4.0

  else.
• Fixed loop mode at start not showing the appropiate loop mode.
• Made default loop mode be Loop.

• Due to changes in OpenColorIO, support for Windows 8.1 is no longer
  provided.
• Fixed Panel/Logs not showing as a toggle menu entry.
• We are also dropping support for 32-bit Windows machines, as it waa
  causing a lot of confusion with users downloading the wrong version
  from sourceforge.net when the amd64 (64-bits) version was not tagged as
  default or that it was called amd (and not Intel :)

  change it once again.
• Added reporting of memory use to HUD.
• Added Cache in Gigabytes to Settings Panel. When this is non-zero the
  Read Ahead and the Read Behind are calculated automatically based on

  has no audio.
• Added number of Cache Ahead and Behind Video and Audio frames to HUD.
  If Ahead Video cache becomes 0 when playing forwards, playback will stop.
• Fixed Text tool input on Wayland.
• Removed libharfbuzz from the Linux distribution as it was causing trouble
  with some newer Linux distros.
• Added a Render->Black Background option to quickly switch from a gray
