### 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... )

### Pencil 0.4b - Source Code - January 4th, 2007 ###

Added many things, notably vector graphics.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is still a bug which prevents the Windows release version to work well with optimization flags.
So for the moment, one should compile in debug mode or change the optimization flags in the release makefile.

### Pencil 0.2b - Source Code ###

PLEASE NOTE:
This source code is optimized for compiling on Mac OSX.
This means that the movie export functions refer to a local application called assembler2 (also included source).
The Windows version replaces the movie export function to use a different application, quite easy really, so it's not included.

The source code is very, hum, quick and dirty.
I'm not a programmer at all and it's quite a miracle I was able to piece the software together.
If you actually improve something, I'd like you to let me know.

To compile on Linux, remove the Mac OSX headers (you'll find them), and re-implement the movie export with mencoder or ffmpeg.

All the best,
Patrick
