Kdenlive 0.9.6 released
We are happy to announce the immediate release of Kdenlive 0.9.6.
This version fixes several bugs and crashes, including a very annoying bug that caused project files to seem corrupted. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
You will find detailled infos about the changes in this release below.
The source code can be downloaded from the KDE servers, there are 2 available tarballs, since we decided to also distribute Kdenlive with its user manual:
Packages for your distributions should hopefully be available soon.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the MLT framework (0.8.8) to get the recent bugfixes and improvements.
As usual, a big thank you to all those who helped us make this release better by giving us feedback and investigating the bugs they found.
You can check the Kdenlive online manual and forums for documentation and help.
For the Kdenlive team,
Jean-Baptiste Mardelle
