Kdenlive to be released with KDE Applications 15.04

Sunday, 1 March 2015  |  Vincent Pinon

... based on Frameworks 5!

So we met the freeze deadline to get our port to KF5 released with KDE Apps.

What does it change? you have a changelog, but it doesn't explain what's behind.

Being based on KF5 makes Kdenlive future-proof and opens doors for potential new horizons (platforms, design)...

Being part of KDE family changes things more "socially" than "technically" (quoting tsdgeo ;-)). Changes to the source are now sent for review systematically, releases preparation and delivery will now be handled by experts under a fixed planning, we are now mentored to take part to initiatives like SoC... and exchanges with other devs are now flowing much more naturally ;-)
I personally feel the difference!

And for you users?

You will have to run a recent distribution offering KF5, this may be problematic at the beginning (you can stick to 0.9.10)...
Then to reward you if you follow our progression, a few new features to test: ripple delete, stem audio export... Several bugs fixed, maybe some new introduced in the port process :-\

Please test a dev version or a beta (knowing it is a pre-release) and let us know!
