Bugs were fixed for rendered effect triggers, undo cut, file open preview, and pad audio. The timer code was cleaned up, and experimental support was added for video analyzer, data processing, and audio generating plugins. A hang in preferences when the image type was set to JPEG was fixed, as were several other minor bugs.

            LiVES 0.9.8 try 2
            Anybody who downloaded 0.9.8 before 19th December 2006, should download the current version. There was a serious bug to do with file saving/reloading in that version.

            0.9.5 audio playback bug fixed !

            Image loading in 0.7.5
            I've just noticed image loading is broken in 0.7.5. This is the result of some bad coding in 'smogrify'. To fix this, edit /usr/bin/smogrify, and change the lines:

            # get number of frames
            if ($count>0) {
            # double check number of frames
            $found=0;
            for ($i=$count;$i--;$i>0&&$found==0) {
            $name=&mkname($i);
            if (-f $name) {
            $found=$i;

            to:

            # get number of frames
            if ($count>0) {
            # double check number of frames
            $found=0;
            for ($i=$count;$i>0&&$found==0;$i--) {
            $name=&mkname($i);
            if (-f "$name$img_ext") {
            $found=$i;

            This is mainly a bugfix release for some annoying issues that ended up in 0.6.0
