• Fix problems with separate L/R 3D content in some cases (#1463).
• Correct crash on a 3D project with only 2D content (#1469).
• Fix failure to update timeline when video frame type changes (#1464).
• Fix crashes on starting the GUI encode server (#1465 and #1466).
• Fix broken logging in the GUI encode server.
• Fix some hangs when using encoding servers with the command-line DCP-o-matic client.
• Reword confusing hint when using 2.35:1 content in a 2.39:1 DCP.

All testing and bug reports are welcome!

The test version 2.13.116 is the first beta test version of the DCP-o-matic that will soon become the next stable release (2.14.0).

The main advances in this version are:

• support for closed captioning.
• support for bitmapped (PNG timed-text) subtitles.
• optional "simple" mode with a cut-down GUI.
• a variety of bug fixes, especially related to 3D DCPs.

Testing would be very much appreciated. This will help to ensure that 2.14.0 is a good, stable release.

You can download 2.13.116 from here.

Please report bugs to the forum, the bug tracker, to @dcpomatic on twitter or by email to carl@dcpomatic.com.

You are advised not to use this version for production. Projects made using 2.12.x can be loaded into this version, but once saved by 2.13.x they cannot be loaded into 2.12.x.

20 bugs to go!

Looking at the DCP-o-matic roadmap for 2.14.0 I see there are 20 bugs left to investigate.

I'm hoping to squash these over the next month or so and make some beta test releases of 2.14.0 with all that closed captioning and PNG timed-text goodness (amongst other things...)

Thanks, as ever, for your generous support.
