### Pencil Animation v0.5 beta (Morevna Branch) - September 15th 2010

Changes by Konstantin Dmitriev:

* Support for some command-line options.
  Now it's possible to specify file to open:
    $ Pencil file.pcl
  Export to image sequence using command-line:
    $ Pencil file.pcl --export-sequence file.png
* Load dialog: Allow to choose "Any file" filter - that allows to load files without extension (old Pencil files).
* Fix transparency issue when exporting to png sequence
* Desktop integration (linux)
* Other minor fixes

Changes by davidefa:

* Export movie exports audio and video. Audio layers are mixed.
  To select video format use an 'appropriate' filename extension ( ex: .avi, .mov, .mpg, .mp4 ... ), movie framerate is selectable ( but output codecs don't support all framerates, a safe and usual choice should be 24, 25 or 30 fps )
* Minor fixes in audio layers ( corrupted audio passed end of 'audio frame' ).
* Improved undo/redo functionality
* Fixed saving animation ( removed 'optimization', now saving is slower but safer )
* Added fps parameter in saved animations
* 3 'layers' of onion skinning ( configurable trough edit->preferences->tools, to remove a layer set its opacity to 0 )
* Added import movie ( frames are imported at the current fps, there is no check to limit the imported frames )
* Compiles fine with min 0.4.x on linux
* Other minor fixes ( moving selection on bitmap layers, moving layers... )
