Hi,

I would like to ask if there is some plan to release new stable version. There is some issue in 2.7.8 (https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php?topic=19472.new#new) and because of it I am still running nightly build 2.7.9.

Best regards

Matěj.

You should update to the latest 2.8.0 code, the next release will be 2.8.0. Due to extensive changes, the version minor was incremented from 7 to 8 and therefore the version patch reset from 9 to 0.

The hope is to release 2.8.0 once Homebrew distributes Qt 6.2.2 as the current Qt 6.2.1 has deal-breaking issues on the latest macOS version (Monterey). On Linux, a critical issue has been found affecting at least Qt 6.2.1 on systems with NVIDIA drivers, which can be worked around if no proper fix found. Unless some other unexpected critical issues surface, the release is expected very soon (within a week or two).
