v1.1.0

Highlights & Features

• Native text rendering: New QtTextReader powers editable text clips, with sharp scaling, letter and line spacing, rounded backgrounds, and clean outlines.
• More responsive playback: Improved preview buffering, cached seeking, and reader handoffs reduce stalls and keep audio aligned across playback changes.
• Export validation: Discover available formats and encoder capabilities, and test export settings without writing a file.
• Better audio and captions: Preserve mono audio levels, avoid early clipping, improve microphone capture, and correct caption outline rendering.
• ARM64 and build compatibility: Native Linux and Windows ARM64 build checks, FFmpeg 7.1 packaging, OpenCV compatibility improvements, and refreshed macOS build instructions.

Version 1.1.0 uses SO 33 and requires libopenshot-audio 1.0.2 or newer.

• 91986ea 2026-04-16 geekrebel Rewriting doc/INSTALL-MAC.md with a modern, working recipe for building libopenshot on both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel Macs. The previous version still referenced Homebrew formulae and tools that have been gone for a decade (gcc48, Python 3.3, Qt 5.4.2), used Intel-only /usr/local/Cellar paths, suggested the non-existent "cmake -d" flag, and had no Apple Silicon coverage at all. As a result, every current-day macOS contributor who followed the file was landing on stale CMake errors, typically the "Could not find a package configuration file provided by OpenShotAudio" message (see libopenshot#1030).
