Major
- Switch versioning system from "CalVer weeks of the year" to SemVar.
Features
- Make temp directories lazily. This will mean a temp directory is not created at all in some cases.
- Add the `--no-cache` option. When set, will prevent auto-editor from reading from or writing to a cache file.
Fixes
- Step around PyAV bug when getting pix_fmt. Fixes 489
- Add `hevc_nevc` as a known encoder. Fixes 490
- The cache is twice as small as the equivalent 24w31a would write.

23w20a
What's Changed
- fcp7 backend (Premiere and DaVinci Resolve)
- You can now export multiple video files into one xml
- The xml now respects the number of channels the audio has and no longer assumes it's always 2
- v3 timeline backend
- the `"timeline"` key has been flatten and removed
- `"version"` value has been changed `"unstable:3.0"` -> `"3"`
- the `"dur"` attribute for all timeline objects is now always the "real" duration even if the speed is != 1. This makes many internal operations simpler and imitates how fcp7 represents timing.
- v1 timeline importing and exporting is back
- All v(NUMBER) timelines now no longer use or accept semantic versioning

23w08a
What's Changed
- `auto-editor info` now displays the audio stream's channel count
- `--add` now uses palet for parsing instead of having a little parsing language for each attribute.
shell
old way, adding special characters like newline and tab was terrible
auto-editor --add 'text:0,60,This is my text!
Wow,font=Arial'
new clean and explicit way
auto-editor --add 'text:0,60,"This is my text!\nWow",font="Arial"'
- The palet scripting language, and its [associated docs](https://auto-editor.com/ref/23w08a/palet), has been greatly improved. For a normal auto-editor, palet doesn't matter right now, but allow for new and exciting auto-editor functionally in the future.
**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor/compare/23w04a...23w08a
23w04a
What's New
New Features
- Added `subtitle` edit method. `subtitle` analyzes subtitle streams and adds sections when any subtitle shown on screen matches the given regex pattern.
- Added new attribute: `name` for the `premiere` and `final-cut-pro` export object.
Breaking Changes
- Removed `--min-clip` `--min-cut` cmd options. Use `minclip` and `mincut` procedures in the `--edit` option or the new `mincut` `minclip` attributes on the `audio` edit method: `--edit audio:mincut=4,minclip=3`
- Removed `--show-ffmpeg-debug`. Instead use `--show-ffmpeg-commands` or `--show-ffmpeg-output`
- Removed the `grep` subcommand. The new `subtitle` edit method does all of its functionality
Palet
"Palet" is auto-editor's scripting language used in the `--edit` option and `repl` subcommand. It is similar to the racket language but has a few differences. Palet existed in earlier versions but it wasn't worth mentioning in the release notes until now. The biggest change is that you can now define your own procedures:
racket
(define circle-area (lambda (r) (* pi (* r r))))
(circle-area 5)
