3.4.0

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Note: Aegisub 3.4.0 released ten years after the previous stable release 3.2.2., so there have been a very large number of assorted small changes. This changelog summarizes the more important ones.

Development

Port the build system to meson for all operating systems. Missing dependencies can be downloaded and built as subprojects, and builds can be run on the GitHub CI.
Various big internal refactors and C++ modernization that should make future development easier. In particular, switch to C++20.
Update various links (to the bug tracker, the update checker, etc.) in the application
Update various dependencies
Add an AppData file for linux packaging

Features

Add backends based on GDI and CoreText to the fonts collector

Make the translation assistant skipping whitespace an explicit setting
Add configuration options for colors in the visual typesetting tools
Add DependencyControl, a package manager for automation scripts, to the Windows installer, but disable it by default due to the added security risk
Remove ASSDraw from the toolbar and the installer. For creating drawings in Aegisub, it is recommended to use the vector clip tool together with a “Clip to Shape” automation script.
Add .webm, .h264, .hevc, .opus, and .eac3 to the list of supported formats
Increase the default font size and update the list of resolutions
Handle flipped and rotated video in the FFMS2 video provider
Respect BOMs in subtitle files
Feed the entire subtitle file to uchardet to improve charset detection

Make scrolling the subtitle grid with a touch pad smoother
Save the state of the “Show Original” toggle across restarts
Add an “Apply” button to the “Select Lines” dialog
Allow reading compressed subtitles from mkv files
Also collect fonts that are only used for drawings in the fonts collector

Lua API

Update moonscript to commit 491f235 (past version 0.5.0)
Add an argument type checker to Aegisub’s built-in modules
Add subtitles.script_resolution(), which returns the effective script resolution (falling back to defaults if the headers are not present)
Add aegisub.get_audio_selection() to get the current (possibly uncommitted) selection in the audio display
Add aegisub.set_status_text() to set the status bar text

3.0.0

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Aegisub 3.0.0 features a major rewrite of much of Aegisub’s core. There are two main user-visible changes:

The audio display and related things such as the karaoke syllable splitting interface have been rewritten from scratch. The spectograph rendering is now much higher quality and faster, and many new features have been added.
Changes made in the main edit box and surrounding controls no longer have to be committed. Instead, changes are made to the file as you type, with the video display updating in real time.

General

Many things are much faster.
The main toolbar can be hidden.
The clipboard is not cleared on exit.
The mouse wheel scrolls the thing the mouse is over rather than the thing with keyboard focus.
Aegisub is now sort of usable on OS X.
Dragging and dropping audio or video files onto Aegisub no longer blocks the source of the drag while they’re loading.
Added Euskara (Basque) translation.
Remove files from the MRU lists when they no longer exist (#717).
All of the toolbar icons have been replaced with new ones.

Audio

The audio display has been rewritten from scratch. As such, many minor details have changed.
The spectrum mode is higher quality and much faster.
The waveform mode shows the average value of the audio at each time in addition to the maximum. This can be disabled if it annoys you.
By default, left-click-drag sets the start of the line to clicked point and the end of the line to the dragged point, making it possible to time a line in a single click.
All selected lines are shown on the audio display.
The previous and next line can be shown in the audio display (in addition to previous or all) (#664) (#1386).
Adjacent pairs of lines with equal end/start times can be adjusted together similar to karaoke syllables by holding down Ctrl (#20).
Nonsensical line and karaoke syllable timings are no longer allowed.
The audio display jumps around less when the zoom is adjusted (#957).
The zoom/volume are saved across sessions.
Middle-click jumps the video to the clicked time.
24-bit and float audio are supported (#1292) (#1490).
Added an option to automatically load audio when opening video (#1134).
Added Shift-G to advance to next line and reset timing to default even if the next line is already timed (#946).
Spectrum mode is now the default (#943).
Spectrum mode now uses logarithmic scaling rather than linear, which usually better exposes speech (#944).
Enable the dummy audio provider in release builds (#1425).
Keypad-Enter hotkey works with things other than the edit box focused (#508)

Karaoke

The Karaoke split/join bar is hidden when not in Karaoke mode (#987).
Keyframe markers can be disabled in karaoke mode without disabling them for dialogue timing (#644).
Splitting and joining karaoke syllables preserves override tags and comments (#1190).
The karaoke split/join interface has been redesigned to require fewer clicks. Click in a place with no splits to add a split, or on a split to remove it.
The sum of the syllable durations must now equal the line duration.
Adjusting the syllable before the active syllable while the syllable is playing no longer extends playback (#886).

Automation

Removed Ruby and Perl automation engines since no one used them and they didn’t work.
Removed auto3 since it’s been deprecated for years and auto4 is much better.
Macros can now be hotkeyed. The command name for macros is “automation/lua/file-name-sans-extension/macro-name” (#517).
Added a few more stock macros (#120).
The clean tags macro no longer breaks \clip (#1450).
The automation manager dialog is modeless.
Multiple scripts can be loaded at once with the Add button in the manager dialog.
Lines appended to the end of the file are automatically put in the appropriate section.
Scripts do not have to be UTF-8 (but generally should be anyway). As a result, adding a BOM is now generally required if a file must be treated as UTF-8.
Macros which do not run to completion (either due to the user cancelling or an error occurring) do not make any changes to the file, so it is no longer necessary for complex scripts to build up a table of changes which are then applied in one shot.
An undo point is now automatically set at the end of the macro if the macro fails to do so, or makes changes after the last undo point.
The standard Lua module system is now supported.
The active line argument to the macro processing function actually exists now.
The macro processing function can now set the active line by returning a second value containing the row index to make active. The new active line must be one of the lines which the selection is being set to, or it will be ignored (#1435).
The validation function can now modify the help text displayed for the macro by returning a second value containing the new help text (#1413).
A third function can now be passed to register_macro. This function receives the same arguments as the validation function, and if it returns true a check mark is displayed next to the macro in the automation menu. This is probably not very useful yet.
Added several new functions to the aegisub global table.
Added bindings for the standard platform open/save file pickers.
Added clipboard module for accessing the system clipboard.
Added re module which exposes wxRegex’s regular expression functionality, which is significantly more powerful than that built into Lua.

Fonts Collector

The fonts collector handles bold and italic (#659).
The fonts collector actually works rather than just copying a giant pile of possibly related fonts (#660).
Fonts with non-English names are collected (#1061).
Add the current subtitle’s directory as a destination (#1059).
There is a warning if a font used does not contain all of the glyphs needed.
There is a warning if the user tries to use more fonts than will work on playback.
The dialog is modeless.
On platforms where symlinks don’t require admin privileges, fonts can be symlinked rather than copied.
Fonts used by styles which are used by no lines are no longer copied (#660).

Hotkeys

Hotkey support has been completely rewritten. Many more things can be hotkeyed.
Customized hotkeys are not automatically migrated to the new format and must be recustomized.
Hotkey assignment is now more flexible: any command can be assigned to any context rather than a limited subset of commands having global versions. For example, rather than having “Audio Play” and “Global Audio Play” commands, there is a single audio play command which is simply bound to different hotkeys for when the audio display has focus and when anything else has focus.

Preferences

The preferences system and everything has been rewritten from scratch. A bunch of stuff works better now as a result.
Preferences from 2.1.x are not automatically migrated to the new system. No one ever got around to writing the migration. Sorry.

Linux specifc

Fix std::bad_alloc errors with the Alsa player (#1395).
Fix infinite loop in Alsa player (#1394).
Portaudio player has been rewritten and now works much better (#997).
Portaudio player supports choosing the output device.
UI translations which require a locale which is not available are hidden in the language list (#1508).
Using the English translation with a non-English locale is now possible (#1508).
User dictionaries are now always stored in ~/.aegisub/ so that they work with system dictionaries (#1475).

OS X specific

Fixed a bunch of crashes on startup (#1469).
Dialogs now stay on top of the main program window.
Add support for 10.7 fullscreen for the main program window and the detached video window.
Unicode actually works.
Toolbar icons are actually the right size and so no longer look terrible.
Sort of try to follow the Apple HIG where possible.
All sorts of things that did not work at all or crashed instantly now work.
More of the UI translations are supported.

Shift Times

Double-clicking a history entry loads the settings from that entry (#1427).
The dialog is now modeless.
Saving history works with unicode usernames (#1269).

Spell Checker

All words can be added to the user dictionary, rather than just words which fit in the language’s character set.
Commented lines can be automatically skipped (#1428).
Re-add hyphen to the word separator list since removing it caused more problems than it solved (#1459).

Subtitle Formats

Saving subtitles as a non-Unicode character set which does not have all of the characters used in the subtitles now replaced bad characters with ? rather than failing silently (#837).
Added support for more non-Unicode character sets (#639) (#666) (#849) (#877).
Fix rounding errors when generating SMPTE timecodes.
Add support for EBU STL unformatted level 1 teletext.
SRT files with only formatting supported by SRT can be saved directly rather than having to be exported.
Fix several issues with SRT reading and writing.
Improve handling of invalid ASS files.
Add menu entry to open subtitles from the currently open video (#253).
Improve performance when opening subtitles from Matroska.
Fix loading of subtitles from Matroska files greater than 2 GB.

Subtitle Rendering

The Windows 32-bit builds now ship with three subtitle renderers: MPC-HC VSFilter (default), xy-VSfilter and libass. 64-bit builds include MPC-HC VSFilter and libass. Non-windows builds include libass only.
Fix some crashes on malformed files in VSFilter (#1485).

Style Manager/Editor

The style manager dialog (but not the style editor) is modeless.
Renaming an unused style doesn’t prompt to update the uses of it.
Do a better job of selecting the right thing after styles are created, edited or deleted.
Fixed some memory leaks in the style editor.
Style names are now case-insensitive to match VSFilter (#777).

Subtitles Edit Box

Changes no longer need to be committed; anything done in the edit box is applied instantly.
Undo no longer does insane things when combined with changes made from the edit box (#586).
Undo no longer reverts changes to the filename from Save As (#1345).
The syntax highlighter better reflects how the line will actually be parsed for malformed lines.
Splitting lines leaves the old line selected rather than moving to the new one.
The color picker updates the color of the line immediately rather than waiting for the dialog to be closed.

Subtitles Grid

Much of the selection-related logic has been improved and made more consistent.
Fixed the “clicking near top/bottom of grid selects multiple lines” issue yet again (maybe for real this time) (#1041).
“Make time continuous” uses the next/previous line if only one line is selected (#822).
Concatenated lines are joined with spaces rather than \N.
Concatenating out-of-order lines sets the start and end time correctly.
Recombine Lines can be used on any number of lines at once rather than just pairs of lines to join.
Recombine Lines now handles more cases correctly (#1468).
Subtitle lines can be sorted by several fields rather than just the start time, and either all lines or only the selection can be sorted (#1457).
Noncontiguous groups of lines can be duplicated.
The scroll position and current line are restored when reopening a file, similar to the current video frame position (#1417).
Shift-scrollwheel scrolls the grid a page at a time (#1407).
Alt-Up/Alt-Down move all selected rows rather than just the active one.

Timing Post-Processor

Lead-in is applied before lead-out, so that it is used if there is not space for both.
Overlaps can be automatically removed when not adding lead-in/out.
Keyframe snapping is in milliseconds like everything else (#548).

Translation Assistant

Now modeless, making it much easier to watch relevant portions of the video.
Enable spellchecking and syntax highlighting in the edit box.

Video

Seeking no longer blocks the UI while video decodes, making seeking multiple frames (especially backwards) far faster and more responsive.
Video zoom levels are no longer constrained to a limited range.
Setting the zoom via hotkeys or the dropdown with detached video works (#493).
The script resolution is automatically set to the resolution of the first video opened. Alternatively, a default script resolution can be set.
Prompting when the script resolution does not match the video resolution is once again enabled by default (#1138).
The display aspect ratio is set automatically when opening anamorphic video.
Support for loading timecodes and keyframes from Matroska when using the Avisynth video provider has been removed, as it was horribly broken (#939) (#1049).
Seeking the video while it’s playing works.
Fewer things cause video playback to stop.
Default to decoding all videos as if they were BT.601 rather than their actual colorspace to match VSFilter’s rendering.
Write the colorspace used to the subtitle file so that the above hack can go away sometime in the future.
Enable multithreaded video decoding via FFMS2 as it now actually works.
Add support for VP8, VC-1 and interlaced H264.
Fix some more OpenGL issues with bad drivers.
Fix some rounding errors in the VFR logic.
If there are multiple audio/video tracks FFMS2 asks which to use rather than only supporting the first (#905).

Visual typesetting tools

Multiple drag handles can be selected at once to move multiple lines at once, or to shift multiple control points of a clip mask. Ctrl-click adds or removes a handle to the selection; clicking on no handles clears the selection.
Holding Alt while double-clicking on the video in the Cross mode sets all selected lines rather than just the active line (#513).
Holding shift makes all visual tools apply only the greater of the X or Y change (#993).
Double-clicking in drag mode does the same thing as in the Cross mode.
The visual typesetting tools can be hidden when the mouse is not over the video, to make it easier to see small subtitles.
The visual tools are now always the same size regardless of zoom level (#966).
The subtools are in the main visual tool toolbar rather than their own mostly empty one (#1401).
The tools support subpixel precision.
Visual tools can be hotkeyed (#992).
Add support for the scale parameter of vector clips (#1415).

2.1.9

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This should list all changes in Aegisub between version 2.1.8 and 2.1.9. A few minor things may have been missed, but it shouldn’t be anything important.

Overview

The release mainly consist of bug-fixes.
Completely rewritten SRT parser, much more robust and handles formatting codes much better.
Karaskel (and thus kara-templater) now correct for script/video resolution mismatch. You no longer have to make sure they match to get correct positioning in karaoke effects.
The Windows installer no longer includes spell checker and thesaurus dictionaries. This has made it about 10 MB smaller. Dictionaries are now instead offered as separate downloads.
Autocommit in audio karaoke mode works again.
We now ship with FFmpegSource 2.17 on Windows which has much improved media support, including 10 bit H.264 and MKV header removal compression.
After numerous complaints, the splash screen is completely gone now.
Rewritten ALSA audio player, meaning much more stable audio playback on Linux. Also fixed the PulseAudio player.
The Mac OS X build should be more stable overall, largely due to bug-fixes and improvements in wxWidgets.
Added translations to Farsi and Polish.

Details

Attachments

The Attachments dialogue will now properly set undo points
When closing the Attachments dialogue, any empty attachment sections are cleaned up from the file

Audio

Fix a handle leak and a rare deadlock in the DirectSound audio player
Might be a little faster when displaying keyframe markers (pink lines)
No more “You pressed cancel!” pseudo-errors when canceling audio loading

Automation

Fix for rare furigana layout issue in karaskel
The append operation for the subtitle object now intelligently appends dialogue lines to the end of the Events section instead of absolute end of file, solving issues with appending dialogue after attachments
Returning selections from Lua macros now works correctly, no longer shifts the selection down by one from the intended
The table.copy_deep function in utils.lua now works as advertised and handles self-referencing tables and circular references
Added new “remember/recall” suite of functions to Karaoke Templater

File i/o

Selecting charset/text encoding after opening a non-Unicode file now properly respects your choice
Added support for writing the EBU STL (tech 3264) subtitle data exchange format
Warn if trying to load a binary .sub file, which is likely a VobSub file (which is not supported)

General

Changed compilation settings to make the Windows binaries smaller without sacrificing speed or functionality
VSFilter is now linked as a normal DLL dependency instead of dynamically discovered at runtime, using alternative CSRI renderers no longer possible, this should make loading a wrong vsfilter almost impossible
Various input methods on Linux should work more reliably now
Fixed a variety of memory leaks

Help system

The locally installed help would never actually get used when using Help buttons or the Help menu

Hotkeys

Fixed a bug where having a hotkeyable item having no hotkey would cause wrong key combinations (try to) activate that anyway

Installer

Various changes making it more stable, issues with Kapersky Internet Security 8 should be solved now
The portable version is now (again) a self-extracting RAR archive, rather than an InnoSetup installer

Select Lines

The active line is now always one of the selected lines after using the Select Lines dialog

Shift Times

Made the shift times history display one-based frame numbers when shifting the selection onwards

Spell checker

Updated list of “word separator” characters, meaning punctuation such as hyphens should now behave better
You now get an appropriate message when no dictionaries are installed and you try to spell check

Style Manager

Duplicating a style and renaming the copy no longer gives a rename warning
Fixes to copying styles between storage and script
All controls are now dynamically resized, as a result it is overall a little larger and adjusts size to fit translated texts

Subtitle grid

The subtitle grid now also takes the width of column title texts into account when calculating column sizes, allowing translations more freedom in choice of column texts
Fixed the “clicking near top/bottom of grid selects multiple lines” issue, and other row selection issues

Timing post-processor

The “make adjacent” threshold now has the end of the range be inclusive

Translation Assistant

Fixed a control layout issue on Mac, preventing it from working properly there

Translations

Added Polish
Added Farsi (Persian)

Update checker

Fix a possible crash

Video

Canceling FFmpegSource indexing now stops video loading, instead of trying another video provider
Fixed a bug related to first loading timecodes, then loading a video, causing subtitle rendering to break

Video display

Detached mode should work properly (again?)
Zooming video in works correctly again, it no longer compresses the video
As a side effect of the above, there is now no longer a sunken border around the video
The video display was consistently a little too small in each direction, causing blurry display
Other minor optimisations and improvements to error reporting
Fixed minor bugs with opening a new video without closing an already open one
The visual typesetting tools are now hidden when video is playing
Maybe made the OpenGL initialisation for the video display more reliable on poor drivers, might fix issues with some ATI/AMD and Intel driver versions

2.1.8

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

This should list all changes in Aegisub between version 2.1.7 and 2.1.8. A few minor things may have been missed, but it shouldn’t be anything important.

Overview

Official Mac, Linux and Unix versions. The Mac version is still alpha quality, though, and we don’t have specific binary packages for many Linux distributions.
Fixed the “Could not lock buffer for filling” problem when playing audio on Windows 7, and rarely on Vista too.
The video display is now much more compatible with limited OpenGL drivers and should work on all systems, notably Windows Vista and 7 with standard drivers.
Clicking “Play” on the video now only plays audio if you have explicitly opened audio from the Audio menu. If you want to hear any sound you now must load audio via the Audio menu.
The Portable version is now (almost) full-featured, only missing is ASSDraw3, because making a portable version of that is non-trivial. We also have an upgrade installer saving you a lot of download, if you already have 2.1.7 installed.

Details

Fixed a bug with the Kanji Timer feature, where clicking some buttons before setting everything up could cause a crash. (#977)
The Transform Framerate export filter didn’t work correctly at all. (#1014)
All common occurrences of “Could not lock buffer for filling” on Windows should be fixed. (#1028)
Fixed a possible crash with an uncommon sequence of actions in the colour picker. (#1025)
The Detached Video is moved into view on opening now, if it was partially or entirely outside the desktop area. (#1040)
The version checking function was completely rewritten to work on all platforms and be more flexible. (#1071, #365, #970, #1080)
The “play audio from video” function was removed, the Play buttons for video now only play audio if audio has been loaded. This is done because we can’t support the playback reliably otherwise. (#1090)
Handle malformed SSA/ASS files missing the [Script Info] line. (#440)
Several strings that should be translatable weren’t. (#791, #792)
Fixed a glitch in the new DirectSound audio player, causing strange behaviour if dragging the selection start during playback. (#915)
Split (by karaoke) sometimes created lines that couldn’t be properly joined back by Join (as karaoke) later. (#929)
If holding the Shift key while dragging audio selection start/end markers, sometimes the time edit boxes did not get updated (#942)
Prevent making the audio selection have negative start or end times. (#942)
The “relayer” function in Karaoke Templater did not work. (#950)
Fixed a visual glitch with spell-checker suggestions in the subs edit right-click menu. (#971)
The Hour field in the Jump to dialogue box was not filled in correctly when the box opened. (#1003)
Added support for the undocumented \fs+ and \fs- tags to various transformation functions. We recommend avoiding these tags as they may not be supported in all renderers. (#1007)
Rewrite the file type associations code and interface on Windows, to conform better to the guidelines and overall integrate better with the Windows shell. (#1037)
Add support for the \iclip tag to the “Clean Tags” Automation script. (#1044)
The Windows installation program now confirms that existing shortcuts point to an Aegisub version being upgraded before overwriting them. (#1046)
Automatically set the video zoom level on video load, so the video never takes up too much space in the window. (#1054)
Fixed the subs edit not being able to use all fonts on Windows. (#1072)
Fixed a crash in the style manager when copying a style from storage to subtitle file, and the subtitle file already had a style by the name. (#1096)
Automation 4 Lua truncated the “spacing” field to an integer on read back, instead of keeping it as a float as it should. (#1019)
Rewrite parts of the video display to better handle OpenGL drivers with reduced features, notably the Direct3D-based implementation by default shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7. (#1020)
The Windows installer will offer to remove an existing Mesa3D OPENGL.DLL file in the Aegisub install directory, as it’s generally no longer needed for reliable video. (#1057)
The Windows installer now installs VSFilter as csri\VSFilter-aegisub.dll to avoid possible clashes with VSFilter.dll files in other locations. Any existing csri\VSFilter.dll is removed.
General improvements to robustness of the Windows installer.
If upgrading from 2.1.6 or earlier, an existing Aegisub.exe will now be renamed to aegisub32.exe during installation, to help Windows update existing shortcuts later.
If the offline manual isn’t installed, clicking a Help button will open the online manual instead.
On Mac, added an option in the Help menu to open a folder with example files and other goodies. (#1033)
The Mac version uses wxWidgets 2.9 instead of 2.8.10, which overall gives much better stability and UI experience.
Update to a newer FFmpegSource2 version that fixes many video-related bugs. (#1017, #1030, #1048)
Many fixes to the Unix build system. (#831, #989, #1064, #1074, #998)
Added an OSSv3/OSSv4 audio player for Unix systems. (#1089)
On Mac, show a message while FontConfig is building or rebuilding its index of fonts on the system, for subtitle preview. (#841)
Fix a crash issue, if trying to add a word to a dictionary where the word contains characters that can’t be represented in the encoding the dictionary file is stored in. (#999)
Fixed several bugs in the colour picker, causing the screen dropper tool to only work on Windows. It now also works on X11 and Mac. (#748)
Fix minor graphical glitch with the main tool bar flickering when changing line. (#1117)

2.1.7

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Bugs fixed

All platforms

Fixed decoding of AAC with the FFmpeg audio provider. (TheFluff)

The PCM WAV audio provider will now actually get used to load PCM WAV files. (TheFluff)
The PCM WAV audio provider will no longer crash with files larger than 256 MB. (jfs, TheFluff)
Exporting to subtitle formats that cannot handle more than one line on screen simultanously will now merge multiple lines properly, even if the source has uncommitted modifications. (jfs)
Seeking in the video will no longer cause random crashes with providers that use the caching provider (i.e. all of them except Avisynth). (TheFluff)
The “jump to” dialog box has had some minor cosmetic issues fixed, making it impossible to enter times/frame numbers after the video end. See bugtracker issue #804. (Harukalover, TheFluff)
Fixed some rare VFR edge cases being handled wrong. See bugtracker issue #773. (Plorkyeran)
The Automation3 (!) karaskel will no longer fail to process the last line of the file. (jfs)
The “grid font face” option’s font face browser will now actually update the setting instead of doing nothing. See bugtracker issues #706 and #821. (Harukalover)
The program will no longer crash if CSRI is selected as subtitles renderer but no CSRI renderer is actually installed. See bugtracker issue #462. (Plorkyeran)
Trying to edit a just deleted line will no longer cause crashes. See bugtracker issue #815. (Plorkyeran)
Fixed some cosmetic issues regarding how the subtitles grid selection is moved after committing multiple lines, and how audio selection moves after committing. See bugtracker issue #794 for full details; see also issues #64 and #420. (Harukalover).
Aegisub will no longer crash when playing video with no audio player/provider present. (Patch by Avi.)
Reading subtitles from Matroska files will now work with files using the filename extensions .mka and .mks too, not just .mkv. (TheFluff)
A lot of memory leaks all over the place have been fixed; Aegisub should use and leak less memory overall now. (Harukalover, verm, others)
Aegisub will no longer crash when trying to read keyframes/timecodes from Matroska files generated by x264. (Haali, Myrsloik, TheFluff)
Exporting to other subtitle formats will no longer fail to output the first line when using “local” as the text encoding. (TheFluff)
Using the add lead-out/add lead-in buttons will now properly update the time edit boxes. See bugtracker issue #836. (Harukalover)
Exporting to formats using SMPTE dropframe timecodes will now work properly and should no longer produce incorrect timecodes. (Plorkyeran, TheFluff)
Lots of controls in the Automation4-Lua config dialogs will now handle default/initial values properly. See bugtracker issues #775 and #776. (jfs)
Pressing the OK button in an Automation4-Lua config dialog with default buttons present will now return the button code properly. (jfs)
The ASS styles header ([V4+ Styles]) will now consistently be written with a capital V, which seems to be the most compatible with other software. See bugtracker issue #690. (jfs)
Exporting to the TranStation subtitle format will now detect and fix overlapping lines properly. See bugtracker issue #767. (TheFluff)
In the Automation4-Lua karaoke templater, using fxgroup filtering when there is a “code syl” line present will now work properly. See bugtracker issue #845. (jfs)
Exporting to other subtitle formats will no longer randomly add extra text here and there, which used to happen occasionally. See bugtracker issue #825. (jfs)
Audio providers that did not downsample to 16-bit mono themselves (i.e. all of them except Avisynth) will now handle bitdepths other than 16-bit and channel configurations other than stereo/mono properly. See bugtracker issue #726. (jfs)
Exporting to SRT will now automatically close all formatting tags properly. See bugtracker issue #809. (jfs)
Using “replace next” from the search and replace dialog box will now mark the script as modified, as it should. (Harukalover)
Audio playback will no longer stop early if the selection end marker is moved when using the “play audio to end of file” function. See bugtracker issue #687. (jfs)
A corrupted hotkeys.dat file is no longer a fatal error. If the file is determined to be corrupted, the corrupted file will be copied to a backup (hotkeys.bak) and a new default one will be generated instead. (jfs)
Using the layer edit box spin control will now update the value properly in all cases. See bugtracker issue #599. (jfs)
Most video rendering errors (OpenGL failures) are no longer fatal. See bugtracker issue #799. (jfs)
Certain regular expression search and replace operations will no longer cause infinite loops and program hangs. See bugtracker issue #859. (jfs)
Undoing line insertions can no longer cause an invalid row to be selected. (Harukalover)
Using the shift times function to shift the script by 0 seconds will now actually do nothing, as it should (previously it marked the script as changed and logged a shift by 0 seconds). See bugtracker issue #839. (jfs)
The paste and paste over commands will now only be enabled if the clipboard contains plain text. See bugtracker issue #787. (jfs)
The audio display is now repainted properly on audio playback, which prevents ugly glitches from appearing when the playback cursor passes the selection cursor, etc. See bugtracker issue #598. (jfs)
The translation assistant dialog box will now remember its position correctly in all cases. (Harukalover)
Exporting to the Adobe Encore subtitle format will no longer create invalid and broken files (they were missing syntactically important spaces). See bugtracker issue #890. (jfs)
Trying to reload an Automation script that has been moved or deleted since it was loaded will no longer crash the program. See bugtracker issue #892. (jfs)
The spell checker will now handle various Unicode punctuation properly. See bugtracker issue #710. (Plorkyeran)

Fixed a few potential VFR issues, especially with the FFmpeg and DirectShow video providers. See bugtracker issue #864. (TheFluff)
Fixed an issue that could occasionally cause a crash on exiting under some conditions. (TheFluff)
Using the “set start/end to video” or “snap to scene” hotkey or toolbar buttons will no longer discard any uncommitted changes in the subtitles edit box. They now work like editing the time edit boxes instead. (Plorkyeran)
Selecting a line via the visual typesetting drag mode will now update the grid selection too, which prevents the subtitle edit box out of synch with other controls. (Plorkyeran)

Windows

The FFMS2 providers will no longer crash when trying to open files with names that include characters that cannot be represented in the system local codepage. See bugtracker issues #808 and #810. (TheFluff)
The visual typesetting toolbar should now look a bit prettier on Windows 7 and Vista; previously it had an odd themed background that didn’t fit in with the surroundings. (jfs)
The “portable application” options (save config.dat locally etc) will now actually work as intended. It’s no longer settable from the options dialog; instead it’s set at install time. See bugtracker issue #902. (jfs, Harukalover)

Linux/*BSD/MacOS X

Aegisub will now restart itself properly after an options change that requires restarting. (verm)
Fixed an issue in the subtitles grid that could cause the program to crash uncontrolledly under FreeBSD. (verm)
Aegisub now defaults to using the correct ALSA default device on Linux. (jfs)
The fonts collector will no longer crash on Unix systems. See bugtracker issue #561. (Harukalover)
The video display can now be properly resized to be smaller on MacOS X. See bugtracker issue #742. (jfs)
Aegisub will no longer throw up a lot of random OpenGL errors on MacOS X. See bugtracker issue #850. (jfs)
Aegisub will no longer print an error about being unable to set the locale to en_GB when starting on Linux. See bugtracker issue #846. (Patch by Pomyk.)
The spectrum slider will now update the color spectrum properly on Linux. (Harukalover)
The “overwrite-insertion” mode for the time edit boxes now works properly on Linux. (Harukalover)
The time edit boxes will no longer be too small under platforms using wxGTK. (Harukalover)
Aegisub will now actually copy files properly on Unix instead of attempting to create hard links of them. (jfs)

Features added

.stats is now a recognized filename extension for keyframe files. (amz)
The OS X port now has a nice .dmg “installer”. (verm)
The DirectSound audio player has been rewritten to be more responsive and to have better threading. The old DirectSound audio player is still available, but is now called dsound-old. On Windows 7, the old one may be more reliable. (jfs)
The FFMS2 providers will now automatically keep the cache of index files at a manageable size (previously it would never get emptied automatically ever); the default maximum is 42 MB/20 files. Removal is based on last access time (last used, first deleted). (TheFluff)
Automation4-Perl now exports the Aegisub::Script::set_undo_point() function. This is mostly useless however, since Auto4-Perl currently only supports macros and those set the undo point automatically anyway. (TheFluff)
The Automation4-Lua karaoke templater now supports variable loops and has had a few new utility functions added to it. See bugtracker issue #753. (jfs)
Integer edit boxes in Automation4-Lua will now automatically get spin controls. If no min/max is specified, MININT/MAXINT is assumed. (jfs)
The styling assistant is now a modeless dialog, so the user can access other controls within Aegisub without having to close the styling assistant. See bugtracker issue #397. (Harukalover)
The style editor dialog box will now remember its position on screen, much like other dialog boxes in Aegisub. See bugtracker issue #607. (jfs)
The detached video window will now keep the zoom level from the normal video display when opened. See bugtracker issue #491. (jfs)
The kanji timer has been rewritten from scratch. Notable improvements include working on non-Windows platforms and better “smart” kanji <-> romaji mapping. See bugtracker issues #847 and #708.
The FFmpeg video provider will now automatically read timecodes from the container. See bugtracker issue #864. (TheFluff)

Features removed

The “tip of the day” dialog has been removed as it was mostly useless. It may or may not return later in another form. (jfs)
The “Avisynth renders its own subs” option has been removed as it was both massively broken (especially with VFR video) and strongly deprecated. (Plorkyeran, jfs)
“Portable application” support has been removed from all non-Windows builds as it was heavily broken on everything that wasn’t Windows. See bugtracker issue #856. (jfs)
The color picker/color dropper tool has been removed from all non-Windows builds, since it only works on Windows and causes crashes everywhere else. It will return on non-Windows when a proper fix has been implemented. See bugtracker issue #861. (jfs)

Other changes

The Avisynth provider will now use FFMS2 where it used to use FFMS1. (TheFluff)
The behavior of the audio autoscrolling mode has been changed to be more sensible when the line is too long to fit in the display. See bugtracker issue #677. (jfs)
The grab zone for the split markers in the karaoke syllable splitter function has been widened from 4 to 7 pixels, making it easier to “hit” them. (jfs)
The way the secondary color in the dummy video provider’s checkerboard pattern is calculated has been changed so that it gives better results for dark colors.
The styling assistant now requires a double-click to select a style. This should prevent issues with misclicking on a style when just trying to focus the assistant. (Harukalover)
The FFmpeg audio and video providers are now considered deprecated; use the FFMS2 providers instead (they are superior in pretty much every possible way). (verm)
The PortAudio player has been rewritten to use PortAudio v19 instead of v18. Should be more reliable in general now, but still has some minor issues. (verm)
The splash screen and about box have both been changed to be less ANIMU KAWAII ^___^ to make the program acceptable for use in a wider circle of people. See bugtracker issue #858. (jfs)
The “overwrite-insertion” mode for the time edit boxes is now the default mode on all platforms, not just Windows. (Harukalover)

External software updates

FFMS2 has been updated from Beta 3 to SVN revision 115 (more or less Beta 10). See its changelog for full details. (Myrsloik, TheFluff)
The “clean tags” automation script shipped with Aegisub has been updated. (ai-chan)
libass has been updated to HEAD (as of 2009-07-13) from greg’s repository. Many improvements have been made, including support for a lot more tags and less memory leaks. (greg, verm)

Made Aegisub capable of running if ffms2.dll isn’t found

2.1.3a

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0000

FFmpegSource2 is the new default audio and video provider, replacing Avisynth. This should provide frame-exact seeking (with keyframe support) on AVI, MKV and MP4 files, as well as other benefits. This is still a bit experimental, however. If you have any issues, just switch back to Avisynth in options.
~~The DirectSound audio player was reverted to what it was in 2.1.1, since 2.1.2 seems to have critical issues related to it.~~ [Edit: jfs says that the issue was after 2.1.2]
Many small issues around the program were fixed.
VSFilter has been updated to the MPC-HC 2.39 version, which includes jfs’s new patches (see this post)
Aegisub is now built against Visual C++ 2008 SP1 runtimes. Hopefully there will be no issues related to this (ASSDraw is still built against 2005 SP1 runtimes, due to library issues). If you can’t run Aegisub, try installing this and reporting how it goes.

1.10 beta

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Always defaults to Audio Cache=1 (ram) now (Myrsloik)
Automation: Added xor(a,b) boolean logical function to utils.lua (jfs)
Automation: Various changes to karaskel.lua and karaskel-adv.lua: (jfs)
- Added some debug-calls (which are disabled by default; aegisub.output_debug is replaced with a do-nothing function (you can change this in karaskel.lua)
- The regular aegisub.output_debug is aliased to aegisub.output_warning, in order to always be able to show real warnings, in case something goes wrong
- Fixed bug, triggered when a line had a style not defined in the subs. A warning is now shown instead.
Fixed bug in parser that would cause Aegisub to crash if you had a \fn without parameters and tried to pick font. (AMZ)
Fixed crash when opening audio that appeared in 1.08 (Myrsloik)
Karaoke mode changes: (jfs)
- New syllable-splitter: Click “split” to enable splitting-mode, click in syllable view to set split-markers, then click commit to do the splitting
- The correct \k tag (\k, \kf, \ko, \K) is now kept when splitting/joining
- When editing karaoke-timing for a line and not splitting/joining, all tags are kept intact, so only the \k tag timings are changed
- Right-click in karaoke area to change the tag (\k, \kf, \ko)
- Click and drag to select multiple syllables
Fixed bug where \t tags (among others?) would lose their parameters when being rebuilt (happens with Framerate Transport export filter, Automation and during the karaoke timing improvements listed above, among other places) (jfs)
Implemented FexTracker, for automatically tracking positions on the video and placing text accordingly (Tentacle)
Drag-and-drop files onto the program no longer causes the subs to be unloaded every time, even if no subs were dropped (jfs)
1,1+2 recombining lines where 1 is a substring of 2 no longer causes incorrect behavior. 1+2,2 similarly fixed. This fix also gives more sanity-checking in the recombining (jfs)
Replaced the subtitles grid with a custom control, which should hopefully behave and look better. (AMZ) Changes are:
- Currently active line is now highlighted with a border.
- The grid can optionally no longer receive focus (this behavior is disabled by default, change “Grid Allow Focus” to 0 in config.dat to prevent it from getting focus).
- Fixed bug related to tag cycling, which would reset grid, move video and force a refresh of everything (slow, and could undo uncommited changes).
- Rows colliding with the currently active one will now be highlighted in grid.
- Selected comments are now highlighted in a different color.
- Fixed behavior of deleting and joining lines on grid.
- Inserted lines will now be automatically selected.
- Alt+Click on grid will activate the clicked line, without modifying selection.
- Actor and effect columns are now only visible if they are being used.
- Double clicking a row will jump video to it, regardless of auto go to option.
- Unhandled keypresses in grid will now be sent to the audio display.
Toolbar will now properly disable the Jump To buttons if more than one line is selected. (AMZ)
Fixed the toolbar “grey area” glitch (was actually a wxWidgets issue). (AMZ)
Default video zoom can now be set in config.dat and is defaulted to 100%. (AMZ)
Fixed crash in Translation and Styling assistants, when you attempted to move past end of file, and then play. (AMZ)
Fixed linked commit of times, so it will only commit both times if the other was changed (to prevent damage when editing multiple lines). (AMZ)
Fixed some bugs related to inserting overrides via the buttons over the edit box. (AMZ)
Implemented Redo (and there was much rejoicing). (AMZ)
Fonts collector will now default collection to same folder as script (Set to “?script” on config.dat). (AMZ)
Alt+Left/Right on the video seek bar will now seek by increments of 10 frames (increment is customizeable in config.dat). (AMZ)
Added a simple audio resync method for video playback. (AMZ)
Audio timing will now apply to all selected lines, as well as active line. (AMZ)
Added a volume slider bar to audio mode. (AMZ)
Fixed some internal workings, which should make Aegisub use considerably less RAM (especially for large Karaoke files, 8-10x less RAM usage was measured with a 9 MB file). (AMZ)
Aegisub will now dump the stack to stack.txt when it crashes with a fatal exception, which might or might not work. (AMZ)
Audio display in SSA mode will no longer ignore clicks if it wasn’t focused (AMZ)
The font override button in the subtitles edit box can now modify font size, italics, bold and underline as well as font face (no strikeout, as wx does not provide an interface to access that data). (AMZ)
Now requires Avisynth 2.5.6a or later, added an option (“allow ancient avisynth”) to override it to config.dat. (Myrsloik)
Added reading of keyframe and timecode data from Matroska files (which are still not recommended, due to their dependency on DirectShowSource). (AMZ)
Added forums and bugtracker to Help menu. (AMZ)
Fixed Fonts Collector behavior with font shortcuts. (AMZ)
Better error reporting when loading Automation scripts (jfs)
Attempting to load a file which does not exist no longer unloads previous subtitles. (AMZ)
Dragging timecode files into the Aegisub window will now work as expected (instead of attempting to load it as subtitles). (AMZ)
Middle clicking the video seek bar and audio display will now focus them. (AMZ)
Search and Replace dialogue made modeless. (Pomyk)
Fixed bug related to moving elements up and down in File Export dialog. (Pomyk)
Scrollbar and sliders in audio box can no longer receive focus. (Pomyk)
Select lines dialog now has an option on how to deal with comment lines. (Pomyk)
Last folder for all the file selection dialogs are now remembered in config.dat. (Pomyk)
Audio current play position cursor will now always be visible. (AMZ)
Removed video frame/subtitles time sync controls from the grid context menu. (AMZ)
Timeline is now drawn below audio display. (AMZ)
Dragging the timeline will now scroll audio display. (AMZ)

Added a horizontal scrollbar to shift times history. (AMZ)
Removed the “Help” button from Find/Replace dialog. (AMZ)
Added a bias slider to the “make times continuous” function in timing post-processor, which sets the point between the subs where the two lines will meet. (AMZ)
Separated keyframe thresholds on the timing post-processor in start and end. (AMZ)
Aegisub no longer enjoys littering your temporary files folder with 0 kB files. (AMZ)
Not directly related, but PRS Avisynth filter added to Aegisub SVN tree. (AMZ)

- Korean (thanks to oblisk)
- Danish (thanks to mulrich and jfs)
- Hungarian (thanks to Yuri)
Style editor now uses a dropdown for the encoding field, with encoding names taken straight from wingdi.h. (AMZ)
Added 2.35 and custom aspect ratio support for video display. (AMZ)
The manual has been extensively re-written and extended to include documentation about a lot of new (and some not so new) features. It’s reasonably complete… for the moment. (TheFluff, Motoko-chan, jfs)
Text edit boxes in the subtitle editing area will now revert to unmodified if you restore the original text. (AMZ)
Re-arranged the controls in the subtitle editing area. (AMZ)
Added a text box in subtitle editing area to edit the “Effect” field. (AMZ)
Right-clicking on the header of the subtitles grid will now bring up a popup menu that allows you to disable columns. (AMZ)
Saving back to SRT directly (that is, via “save”, not “export” or “save as”) is now allowed, as long as no data will be lost. (AMZ)
Aegisub now supports file attachments, which are stored decoded (to save memory) and are not part of the undo stack (for the same reason). Previously, they were simply left ignored in the file as unknown lines. (AMZ)
Implemented an Attached files list, where you can attach new fonts and graphics, extract them, or remove them from the script file. (AMZ)
The Font Collector can now collect fonts as script attachments. (AMZ)
Added recent menu to Video Timecodes. (AMZ)
Playing in video mode will now play the audio as well even if it hasn’t been previously loaded into audio mode (experimental). (AMZ)

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Implemented Timing Post-Processor dialog to automatically add lead-in/lead-out, scene timing and adjascence adjustment for sharp-timed subs (AMZ)

Fixed saving of hotkeys (AMZ)
Fixed behavior of Insert key in Translation Assistant (AMZ)

Fixed crashes when not enough memory could be allocated for ram cache (Myrsloik)
Properties dialog will no longer flag file as modified if nothing changed (AMZ)
The config.dat file is now fully documented again, for the first time since beta 1.00… let’s see how long it lasts. (TheFluff)
Selected line is now properly enabled on audio display when audio is loaded (AMZ)
Cosmetic improvements to toolbar (AMZ)

Fixed audio glitches when using disk cache and scrolling the audio display while playing (Myrsloik)
Improved the ram cache allocation so it should work for really large files if enough ram is available (Myrsloik)
Fixed exporting of SSA styles (AMZ)
Automation: The precalculation step in karaskel.lua is now in a function by itself, precalc_syllable_data (jfs)
Automation: New function added to utils.lua, string.headtail(s): treats s as a list of words separated by spaces, returns two strings, the first word (the head) and the rest of the string (the tail), like car/cdr (jfs)
Fixed behavior of dialog that asks you to change script resolution based on video resolution (AMZ)
Video and audio displays can now be hidden via the View menu (AMZ)
Translation assistant now shows proper text color (AMZ)
Translation assistant now shows total line count (AMZ)
Hotkeys for translation and styling assistants are now customizeable (AMZ)
Default character encoding for saving can now be set via the evil “save charset” in config.dat. (AMZ) A few examples:
- “save charset=UTF-8” - Default setting. RECOMMENDED.
- “save charset=UTF-16” - Saves as UTF-16 instead of UTF-8. This solves issues if you must deal with a program that can’t support UTF-8, such as ancient textsub or wordpad.
- “save charset=local” - Kills unicode support in saving subtitles, and saves as local charset. THIS OPTION IS NOT RECOMMENDED! It will, however, make scripts compatible with Medusa and other non-unicode programs.
- “save charset=Shift_JIS” - Same as above, but saves as Shift_JIS (japanese script). NOT RECOMMENDED!
- “save charset=ISO-8859-1” - Same as above, but saves as ISO-8859-1 (western script). NOT RECOMMENDED!
  Remember: You can always save to another charset via the File->Export option. This is much safer!
Setting “Use nonstandard milisecond times” in config.dat makes Aegisub use miliseconds instead of centiseconds for ASS times. DO NOT use it unless you know EXACTLY why you should! NORMAL VSFILTER CAN’T HANDLE THIS. (AMZ)
Resolution resampler now affects drawing commands as well (AMZ)
