Software Update: Kdenlive 21.12.3

Version 21.12.3 of Kdenlive has been released. Kdenlive, short for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor, is an advanced non-linear video editing program designed primarily for Linux, but also has versions for Windows, BSD, and macOS, although the latter is no longer actively developed. It uses several other open source projects, such as FFmpeg and the MLT video framework. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Kdenlive 21.12.3 is out

The last maintenance release of the 21.12 cycle is out with lots of usability polishing of keyframes, subtitles and proxy clips. Audio thumbnails on high zoom levels got a major performance optimization. This version also fixes 5 crashes including Wayland layout switching, time remapping module among others.

With this release we switched our AppImage building to KDE Craft that is already in use for our Windows and macOS builds. With this step our packages become more consistent in regard of bundled dependency versions across all platforms. Also the maintenance becomes less time consuming giving developers more time to focus on coding rather than packaging. We encourage users to reset their configurations to avoid any possible issues by going to menu Help -> Reset Configuration.
