Changes

• Increased parameter ranges in the Rotate and Scale filter.
• Added verification that saved MLT XML is well-formed XML before (over-) writing the target file.
• Changed default Outline Thickness (3) and alpha of Text filter to match Open Other > Text and prevent a problem where the text outline is aliased when the clip is transparent.
• Changed the version check to use HTTPS for increased privacy.
• Added DLL redirection files for other .exe programs on Windows to prioritize Shotcut-provided DLLs over those in system or $path.
• Removed the buggy Merge with next clip from Timeline clip context menu.

New

• Added (creation) Date column to Playlist*Details view.
• Added Set File Date... to the Playlist menu and item context menu.
• Added Sort By Name and Sort By Date to the Playlist menu.
  These are single-shot sorting commands. The playlist is still fixed-ordering. The new options do not automatically sort new playlist entries.
• Added new video filters:
  • Grid
  • Audio Dance Visualization
  • Audio Light Visualization
  • RGB Shift
  • Glitch
  • Distort
• Added Zoom 300%, 400%, 500%, 750%, and 1000% to the players's zoom menu.
• Added Settings > Drawing Method > Software (Mesa) on Windows.
  This is not good for performance, but it improves compatibility. Use only as a last resort.
• Added Norwegian Nynorsk translation.
