The developers explained that GStreamer 1.0 support has been added, SHA hashes in Bcrypt are now supported, synthesizing bold glyphs now also works for bitmap fonts, underlines support has been added in DirectWrite, and more Shader Model 4 instructions have been added. Wine users should expect to see smaller improvements with each new development release, although today’s is somewhat of an exception since it also comes with a few important new features that should make things really interesting. Even if it might seem that things have changed for the Wine project, they have remained pretty much the same for regular users, and from the looks of it, developers will continue to push changes all the time. We now know that new Wine stable releases will be done once a year, so upgrading to a new development version every other week seems like a reasonable goal.
It took a while to find and fix all these small issues, and the last one we were aware of was that the frei0r effects were missing.Wine (Wine is not an emulator) 1.9.2 has been released and it comes with some pretty major new features, including Gstreamer 1.0 support and more Shader Model 4 instructions. The main job after was to adjust the so-called “blueprints”, and tweak some parts of the Kdenlive code to use the right file paths to find all the plugins. To build Kdenlive on macOS, we use KDE Craft, a meta-build system and package manager that we have already been using for some time for our Windows builds.
Once the DBus issue was solved, there were only some small issues left to fix. When you use this flag, Kdenlive uses QLocalSocket and QLocalServer for communication instead of DBus.
Vincent made it possible to build Kdenlive with the cmake flag -DNODBUS=ON. DBus is used for the communication between the render process and the application’s main window. If you follow the Kdenlive project closely, you will remember that in the first video cafe we talked about macOS and that a big blocker was that DBus caused trouble with the dmg packaging.
