#Release  

We are proud to announce the release of Kdenlive 0.8. This new version brings several new features, including improved UI, proxy clips, audio monitoring, HDMI output, new effects and more.

As usual, Kdenlive benefits from the recent improvements in the MLT framework(version 0.7 is required) and Frei0r effects(version 1.3 is recommended) projects.

You can find a detailed list of changes below.

Update (2nd of May 2011):
MLT 0.7.2 was just released, all users are encouraged to upgrade.

Source code can be downloaded from our sourceforge page, and packages will be announced on our download page when available.

Support can be found in our forums and issues reported on our bugtracker.

We hope you will enjoy this release!
