It also includes some small improvements:

• Display the rating agency name rather than the URL (if we have it) when editing ratings.
• Sort DKDMs by CPL name (#2297).
• Default to filtering DKDM filenames to only see *.xml, and allow multiple DKDMs to be added at the same time (#2296).

It also adds the beginnings of a new translation into hu_HU from Németh Áron. Thanks, Németh!

Version 2.16.21

This release just includes some bug fixes:

• Fix hang on cancelling jobs.

In particular, there are:

• Several fixes to SSA/ASS font sizing, placement, and selection.
• Fixes to the vertical alignment in Interop and SMPTE subtitles in some cases.

There are two other bug fixes:

• Peak values in the audio tab should again update when you change gain (#2286).
• MXF files are correctly closed when DCP encodes are aborted for some reason.

There is also one new feature: you can write multiple DCPs to a single disk in the Disk Writer (#1756).

Last, but not least, this version includes another update to the sl_SI translation from Martin Srebotnjak.

Version 2.16.18

This release just fixes a crash when using the command-line dcpomatic2_create tool with a DCP source.

Version 2.16.17

This release fixes errors related to the “font map” when making projects containing existing DCPs.

It also adds a new translation to Slovenian (sl_SI) from Martin Srebotnjak, and some updates to the Czech (cs_CZ) translation from Tomáš Begeni. Thank you, Martin and Tomáš!

Version 2.16.16

This release fixes audio sync in some (unusual cases) and makes it once again possible to choose system fonts for subtitles on Windows.

It also adds an advanced option to allow mapping audio channels to any DCP channel (including those that are not used for theatrical DCPs).

Finally, Windows builds are now signed with a code-signing certificate so hopefully Windows should make fewer attempts to dissuade you from running DCP-o-matic.

Version 2.16.15

This version adds one new feature: an experimental option to export in Prores 4444.

It also fixes some bugs in the disk writer which would result in drives being written that would fail checks with e2fsck and similar tools. The data on the written disks should be readable, but there were errors in how the unused portion of the disk was written.

There is one other small bug fix to improve the match between subtitle sizing in the preview and the final DCP.

Version 2.16.14

This version adds a few new small features:

• Look on the host system to find fonts requested by text subtitle files (#2264).
• Allow sending KDMs to more email addresses (#2244).

• Windows XP.

If you need to use one of these operating systems please use the 2.14.59 version of DCP-o-matic.

Workflow improvements

• Re-work scaling following excellent insights by Carsten Kurz, described on #1669. Now the scaling of video content is guessed based on its aspect ratio (taking into account pixel aspect ratio) and there is a "custom" option for overriding incorrectly-marked-up content or content which actually needs its shape to be changed.

• Remove the ISDCF metadata dialogue box (#1929); all metadata is now set in the “Metadata” dialogue.
• Fix the initial folder to something sensible when adding content.
• Remember the path used for "add files" (#2049).

• Option to set video range (JPEG/MPEG) (#1509).
• Basic handling of overlapping video (#1848).
• Support for CPL metadata and markers.

• Add a new “Add DKDM” dialogue (#1637).
• Support download of certificates from Qube (#1460).

Operating system support

From this version onwards, DCP-o-matic no longer supports:

• macOS versions 10.7 (Lion) or earlier.
• Windows XP.

If you need to use one of these operating systems please use the 2.14.59 version of DCP-o-matic.

Workflow improvements

• Re-work scaling following excellent insights by Carsten Kurz, described on #1669. Now the scaling of video content is guessed based on its aspect ratio (taking into account pixel aspect ratio) and there is a "custom" option for overriding incorrectly-marked-up content or content which actually needs its shape to be changed.
• Add a new "Advanced settings" dialog for content, accessible from the right-click menu. Move the "use video" checkbox into here, as it feels like excessive clutter to have it in the main video panel.
• Add subtitle analysis so that the outline of all subtitles in a piece of content can be overlaid onto the preview (#1233).
• Add playhead line to timeline (#1563).
• Add option to set project properties from a DCP loaded as content (#1688).
• Avoid unnecessary re-writes of video assets if they are staying the same (#1638).
• Clicking on the audio graph jumps to that position in the film (#1507).
• Put the timecode next to the rewind-to-0 button to help avoid mouse-slips (#1234).
• Allow > 0dB gain per channel in the audio matrix (#1720).
• Add some new keyboard shortcuts for moving around on the timeline.
• Remove the ISDCF metadata dialogue box (#1929); all metadata is now set in the “Metadata” dialogue.
• Fix the initial folder to something sensible when adding content.
• Remember the path used for "add files" (#2049).

• Add builds for ARM / Apple Silicon (M1) processors.
• New “Combiner” tool to combine multiple DCPs into one (#1245).
• Various improvements to the stability and speed of the OpenGL renderer.

• Option to set video range (JPEG/MPEG) (#1509).
• Basic handling of overlapping video (#1848).

• Compliance with most of the SMPTE DCP Bv2.1 Application Profile.
• New playlist (SPL) editor for the player.
• Basic subtitle export feature.
• Calculate LEQ(m) when analysing audio.
• Add an output audio matrix (#1482).
• Add a new “Add DKDM” dialogue (#1637).
• Support download of certificates from Qube (#1460).
• Allow export with one audio stream per channel.

Operating system support

From this version onwards, DCP-o-matic no longer supports:

• macOS versions 10.7 (Lion) or earlier.
• Windows XP.

If you need to use one of these operating systems please use the 2.14.57 version of DCP-o-matic.

Workflow improvements

• Re-work scaling following excellent insights by Carsten Kurz, described on #1669. Now the scaling of video content is guessed based on its aspect ratio (taking into account pixel aspect ratio) and there is a "custom" option for overriding incorrectly-marked-up content or content which actually needs its shape to be changed.
• Add a new "Advanced settings" dialog for content, accessible from the right-click menu. Move the "use video" checkbox into here, as it feels like excessive clutter to have it in the main video panel.
• Add subtitle analysis so that the outline of all subtitles in a piece of content can be overlaid onto the preview (#1233).
• Add playhead line to timeline (#1563).
• Add option to set project properties from a DCP loaded as content (#1688).
• Avoid unnecessary re-writes of video assets if they are staying the same (#1638).
• Clicking on the audio graph jumps to that position in the film (#1507).
• Put the timecode next to the rewind-to-0 button to help avoid mouse-slips (#1234).
• Allow > 0dB gain per channel in the audio matrix (#1720).
• Add some new keyboard shortcuts for moving around on the timeline.
• Remove the ISDCF metadata dialogue box (#1929); all metadata is now set in the “Metadata” dialogue.
• Fix the initial folder to something sensible when adding content.
• Remember the path used for "add files" (#2049).
