Shotcut
Project Files
This version makes a big change to the way project files are saved. Now, they always save numeric values using a period for the decimal point regardless of your OS locale (region/language) setting. This makes it possible to collaborate with others that have a different decimal point setting without going through a (probably incomplete) repair process. This should also help to avoid bugs. This change applies to new projects only; old projects load and run same as before including saving. However, be aware that if your locale does not use a period for the decimal point, then older versions of Shotcut will try to repair a project created with this version because the older versions do not have this new capability.
Timeline and Keyframes Rulers
We changed the Timeline and Keyframes rulers interval to 5 seconds and show only HH:MM:SS and no frame units. This makes them cleaner and quicker to read.

New Features
Blur Filters
In the previous versions of Shotcut the Blur video filter could create dark edges on the image. Therefore, 3 new blur filters were added that do not have this problem:
- Blur: Exponential (fast)
- Blur: Low Pass (fast)
- Blur: Gaussian (slow)
However, they do not support Keyframes or support blurring in only a horizontal or vertical direction. So, the existing blur filter was retained but renamed Blur: Box.
