minor feature:
The main toolbar and menubar have been replaced by a headerbar and menubutton, saving a significant amount of precious vertical space and using the horizontal space better..
The viewer has been ported to use a GStreamer GL video output sink instead of the Clutter sink. This solves crashes when running Pitivi outside of GNOME Shell and is expected to be a more future-proof solution..
We dropped our use of CoGL APIs, namely path_round_rectangle which caused crashes on various Linux distributions shipping a broken version of CoGL.
Pitivi has been ported to Python 3.
Text wrapping in the rendering progress dialog and title editor has been fixed.
Effects can now be reordered within a clip's properties.
The default positioning of UI components (when starting from a fresh install) has been improved to be balanced properly.
Undocked window components do not shift position on startup anymore.
Docked window components do not shift position on startup anymore, when the window is not maximized..
