Thanks, Hermann for the very good insight of the evolution of Cinelerra development. I wonder what are really the main differences that have been introduced in Cinelerra-CV compared to the most close version of upstream (2.1?). That might put in perspective what exactly is needed to take Cinelerra-HW 4.2 into CV.
