Fine lines appear ragged due to fill not reaching edges.
Improved:Now able to use the full spec video buffer, resulting in higher quality encodes of still images and fewer buffer underflows of externally encoded video.
New algorithm for computing mux delay permits higher average bitrate muxes, still images can now be muxed with high bitrate audio.
Added:Now able to export image elements from any source
Alpha channel processor (keyer) version 1
88 additional wipe patterns (diagonal, iris, and clock) for a total of 132 forward transitions.
Curvature of lines may now be relative to line length in addition to absolute.
10/06/07 bugfix version 0.16.8 released

Muxman Pro
10/03/24 version 1.3

unable to move images out of frame.
multiple crashes for transitions less than 1 second.
crashes caused by overflow calculating transition size ratios of rectangles and gradients.
restoration of screen image and frame number after exporting to bmp or avi.
garbage to left and above rotated images that are cropped or zoomed.
incorrect symmetry when rotating squeezed images.
alternate fill button and line thickness spinner not enabling/disabling properly.
non-opaque source pixels given too much weight in resizing.
entering data into opacity, hue, saturation, brightness, or contrast could cause controls
to not erase when switching tabs.
crash caused by attempting to paste base layer. It is no longer possible to copy it to tote.
changed:undoing premultiplied RGB now performed before intensity linearization.
"Save as" (m2v, bmp, avi) now labeled "Render to".
added:generated shapes are now anti-aliased, gamma corrected, and blended with HiRes giving
them smoother edges and the ability to be rotated and alpha blended.
render to bmp files with alpha (ARGB32).
export elements to bmp with or without alpha (RGB24, ARGB32).
Renderers used during editing for images, objects, and the active element can now be
changed from pulldown menu.
The "straight" lines of all shapes can now be curved. This gives a second method of drawing
an arc, and allows for new shapes such as crescents and fluted circles.
Pen-Lift allows drawing polygons with skipped vertices such that the drawing becomes several
overlapped polygons of fewer sides (example 6 sides skipping 1 produces 2 triangles) to be
drawn as one figure, thus changing the fill pattern to recognize the central region(s).
The new drawing engine can use multiple brushes for filling interior regions of polygons.

note: the multi-file manager cannot swap highlights, that is a very complicated change
to the data requiring seeking out all commands (menu items) of both highlights from all

export elements to bmp with or without alpha (RGB24, ARGB32).
Renderers used during editing for images, objects, and the active element can now be
changed from pulldown menu.
The "straight" lines of all shapes can now be curved. This gives a second method of drawing
an arc, and allows for new shapes such as crescents and fluted circles.
Pen-Lift allows drawing polygons with skipped vertices such that the drawing becomes several
overlapped polygons of fewer sides (example 6 sides skipping 1 produces 2 triangles) to be
drawn as one figure, thus changing the fill pattern to recognize the central region(s).

note: the multi-file manager cannot swap highlights, that is a very complicated change
to the data requiring seeking out all commands (menu items) of both highlights from all
PGCs.
Fixed:unable to edit subpictures or highlights with a composite or simple image for video.
selecting a button cleared auto-action flag for button

Additions:
Added "Compositor" which can take one or more images, resize them, and place them
anywhere on a solid background in layers.
Layers can be moved up or down to achieve the desired overlayment.
Added "Spreadsheet" which displays the project's content in rows and navigation in columns.
Scenes can be created, deleted, renamed, and change start time.
New VTS's, domains, titles, language units, and PGCs can be created and assigned content.
Default navigation can be created, and all navigation can be removed.
PTTs (chapters) and PGs (programs) can be added or removed at any PGC cell.
