* Media-compatibility warning on sequence load now offers "Convert Videos Now" — transcodes flagged files to .mov next to the originals (rawvideo/rgb24 if the source is uncompressed, hevc_videotoolbox otherwise) and rewrites the matching video-effect filenames in the sequence.
* Add 'Yes to All' / 'No to All' options when merging base show directory changes
* Add alternate audio tracks support incl waveform, VU Meter and value curve access.
* Allow selecting audio from a sequence package (zip/piz/xsqz) in Sequence Settings
* Add sequencer prop filter to quickly jump to a prop by name
* Add "Small" option to Model Handle Size preference
* Add Render Styles to Select Effects Window
* Add "Lossless RGB Video, *.mov" model export format — uncompressed RGB24 in a mov container, bit-exact
* Warn the user when picking the deprecated "Uncompressed Video, *.avi" format from the model export dialog, suggesting the new lossless RGB MOV instead.
* Add "Don't show again for this version" checkbox to the AVFoundation media compatibility warning shown on sequence load
* Format GitHub release notes as markdown (sectioned headings, bullet list per author) instead of dumping the raw README text
* Wave effect "Number of Waves" slider is now a proper float cycles slider (0.5 .. 10.0) instead of a confusing integer degrees slider (180 .. 3600). Existing sequences are migrated automatically on first load.
* Fix HinksPix Pro V1/V2 sometimes reporting start channel 1 after auto-size, causing model overlaps. SetChannelSize now preserves the controller's base start channel across its internal output rebuild.
* Suppress startup "Setting show directory to X" info dialog when the -s argument matches the already-saved show directory.
* Help → Key Bindings now opens a resizable, scrollable dialog instead of a wxMessageBox so the bottom of the list is reachable on short displays
* Fix several pre-existing effect default mismatches: Fan/Galaxy/Shockwave Blend_Edges now honor their JSON "true" default
or newly-created effects, Shape StartSize matches JSON (1 instead of 5)
* Fix Apple Intelligence service disappearing entirely on macOS prior to 26
* Model preview reset after changing model
* Fix Twinkle Steps value curve capped at 100 instead of 400
* Fix submodels in a group showing at wrong indent level in sequencer element list
* Fix downloaded/imported models always getting start channel 1 (
* Fix false "newer version" warning when importing effects from same version
* Fix Solid/Blended Circle pixel style appearing wrong size in model and effect panels
* Fix macOS 11/12 launch crash "Symbol not found..." due to using some stuff (like std::format) from newer C++ that is not available before macOS 13.3.
* Fix Wave effect speed from a value curve
* Fix Shape effect emoji rendering on Windows and Direction
* Fix 3D Spiral gradient flip when Rotation value curve crosses zero
* Fix Square and Smooth Circle model appearances not scaling with zoom in the layout view
* Fix Pinwheel Rotation default mismatch between renderer and panel
* Fix crash after using Join in the SubModels dialog.
* Fix Guitar BaseWaveFactor/StringWaveFactor losing user values after JSON panel migration. Old E_SLIDER_*WaveFactor int values are migrated forward to E_TEXTCTRL_*WaveFactor floats.
* Fix Circles effect Collide checkbox removal causing silent behavior change in old sequences. Sequences with Collide=1 are now migrated to Bounce=1 to preserve their non-wrapping render.
* Fix Shockwave effect rendering as invisible on macOS for new effects (Metal backend was using stale defaults of 0 for Start/End Radius/Width).
* Fix Pinwheel Rotation default mismatch between renderer and panel
* Pinwheel effect defaults to the New Render Method; existing sequences are migrated to preserve the Old Render Method so their look is unchanged.
* Twinkle effect defaults to the New Render Method; existing sequences are migrated to preserve the Old Render Method so their look is unchanged.
