alpha-0.5.2 — 2026-06-21

Huge memory leak when importing video. Every demux pass leaked the packets
it read, so opening a clip leaked hundreds of MB to several GB that was never
reclaimed — even after deleting the clip and its media. A single long,
high-bitrate source could push RAM past 4 GB. All decode paths (video, audio,
keyframe and MP3 indexing) now free packets as they go.
Bounded preview decoder memory. Per-clip decoders are released as soon as a
clip leaves the timeline (delete, split, trim, undo) instead of living until
the project is swapped, with an LRU cap as a backstop. Software decode now also
sizes its worker threads to the frame, so a high-resolution source no longer
scales RAM with CPU core count (e.g. ~680 MB → ~245 MB for a 3200×2400 clip on
an 18-core machine).
Windows: the AI assistant config is found again. Its path now resolves from
the user's home directory.
