Kdenlive video editor version 19.04.2 released

A total of 77 bugs are fixed in the second minor release in the 19.04 series of the powerful and feature-rich KDE video editor Kdenlive. Compositing issues, misbehaving markers and grouping inconsistencies are among the more noticeable bugs fixed. There are also some improvements specific to the Wintoddler version.

This is a minor kdenlive release and as such it lacks any major changes. It's all about the bug fixes - and there's a lot of them.

The kdenlive team also reports that they are making good progress on the next stable release codenamed 19.08. This upcoming release will have nested timelines, better speed effect controls and a completely revamped titler. That last feature is being done by Akhil K G as part of kdenlive's GSOC participation.
