* This release marks the end of a series that has been stable for a long
time, but never earned its major release number. This version now
enters a maintenance state, while development focuses on the next
major version (new data model, interface revamp to handle simultaneous
analysis of multiple video files...).

* See the following 0.47 notes for more details about changes from
previous release.

* Main GUI:

* Left-clicking on the video slider jumps to the designated position.

* Note-taking view - new shortcut: Ctrl-C to convert to annotations

* Timeline:

* The annotation inspector can be locked on an annotation by clicking
on it. Clicking on the lock icon or in the timeline background unlocks
the inspector. The annotation content can be edited through the
inspector, and validated either with an icon, or with the
Control-Return shortcut.

* Annotation table view:

* Annotation contents can be modified from the table view.

* New shortcut: Ctrl-Return to play current annotation.

* Transcription view - new shortcut: Ctrl-Return to play current annotation.

* Importers:

* WebVTT files can be imported.

* Speech recognition has been implemented through the pocketsphinx
speech recognition software. The pocketsphinx software is not bundled
with Advene and has to be installed separately to enable this
feature. See http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/gstreamer for
details.

* The additional videoplayer offset can be customized by drag and drop
of an annotation.

* The popup menu on screenshot and annotations now offers to save the
screenshot as a PNG file. If the player supports it, the screenshot
will be in video-resolution.

* Stable release. See the following 0.45 notes for more details.

-- Olivier Aubert <olivier.aubertliris.cnrs.fr> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 17:14:25 +0200

* Main GUI:

* Timecode display: add HH:MM:SSfNN (frame number) display format in
preferences. The same syntax can be used for timecode input too. Note
that it uses 25 fps by default (smpte-25), this can be modified in the
Time-related preferences (it does not yet get this information
from each video file).

* The snapshotter activity can be monitored and controlled through
a green icon in the lower right-hand corner of the main window.

* The imagecache can be reset from the Player menu.

* Undo behaviour: implement Undo for annotation/query/view creation.

* Allow storage of binary data in XML.

* New menuitems "Create a montage from the relations" and "Create a
dynamic view following relations" in relation-type popup menu.

* The comment editor proposes multiple presentation modalities for
dragged annotation-types.

* Timeline:

* Click twice on an annotation will not start playing anymore. This
caused confusion with double clicks to edit.

* Define generic relation types (from any annotation type to any type)
when creating new relation types.

* Exporters:

* Two new json exporters.

* Importers:

* Advene2 (Cinelab) importer and AIFF (Final Cut Pro) importer

* Audio/video extraction importers: sound enveloppe, sound detection,
new shot detection algorithm, feature extraction (face, eyes...). The
extraction importers can be invoked through the File/Process video
menu.

* Options can be specified from the GUI for each import filter

* For developers: the import framework has been simplified. If you
want to import data from an external application, use
util.importer.ExternalAppImporter (and see plugins/shotdetectapp.py
for an example).

* Braille table:

* Long text can be scrolled with left/right buttons in scroll mode.

* Actions:

* New parameters (balance, volume) for PlaySound / PlaySoundClip actions
