I have released a new version of OpenShot tonight, version 0.9.54.   The
Experimental PPA and DEB files have been updated, as well as new DEB files
for Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10).

Here is the full list of changes:
-------------------------------------------
Bumped to version 0.9.54

Timeline now auto-extends when a clip is dragged or
resized past the edge of the timeline.

The size of the ruler and the timeline are now
in sync.  There used to be a small difference, which
caused some strange results when scrolled all the
way to the right side of the timeline.

The ruler has been tweaked, to better draw the
tick marks, so there is not a gap at the end of the
ruler.

The video thread now pauses the project when it reaches
100%.  This was a bug, but never caused an issue, until
I added some of these new features in this version.

Zoom in and zoom out now keeps your scrollbar position
and maintains it.  For example, it translates the timecode
associated with the left edge of your scrollbar, and no
matter what your zoom level, maintains that timecode.

The play-head is now auto-centered while you are playing
back / previewing your project.  When the play-head
goes past 1/2 of your screen width, it starts to animate and
auto scroll to keep the timeline centered.

The zoom slider has been adjusted to DELAYED.  This means
when you stop sliding it, it then updates the timeline.  You
don't have to let go of the slider, just stop sliding it, and
it will adjust your timeline.  This makes it much easier to
see the results as you slide the bar.

Also, a new key mapping has been added, CTRL + Scroll Wheel.
Just move your mouse over the timeline, and hold the CTRL key
and scroll your mouse wheel.  It also maintains your scrollbars,
so you won't get lost.  Also, if you are playing your project,
it will continue to auto-scroll the timeline even while you zoom in
and zoom out (unless the play-head is not 1/2 way across the screen.

The .Desktop file has been updated to fix some issues with
Debian validation.

All 7 default languages have been updated with new translations.
-------------------------------------------

Please let me know ASAP if you find any issues with this version.  I've done
my best to test it, but you know how that goes.
I will be posting an article on the changes tomorrow (probably).

Thanks,
