advene (3.14) unstable; urgency=medium
* or should we say the 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482 release?
* MacOS X Sonoma fix: Advene works again on recent Mac - thanks to
Quodlibet for their install scripts.
* Win32: the integrated web server works again on Windows (inclusion of
CherryPy in the installer)
* Linux: Wayland fixes - Advene works as-is in Wayland sessions,
which is the default on Ubuntu.
* The popup menu on schema/types now offers to Search/Replace and Offset annotations.
* The Edit/Global menu item displays a popup menu operating on all
package's annotations, such as Search/Replace and Offset.
* Timeline view:
- new view option to display all relations of the same type on mouse over
- the shortcut for splitting an annotation is Control-T
* Transcription view:
- allow to toggle end timestamp display
- add match count and prev/next navigation in search
* Corpus actions - a new menu item, that will offer various displays and
actions on all loaded packages. More to come...
* New plugins:
- VOSK speech recognition (requires a VOSK install)
- DTMF Tone Detection
* New export filters:
- Text transcription
- OTranscribe JSON (.otr)
* Import filter: allow to specify annotation type in subtitle import.
* Advene is now a GtkApplication, which means that most of its actions
can be triggered through DBus.

advene (3.13) unstable; urgency=medium
* MacOS X installer rewrite - Mac OS X versions will now be available,
thanks to funding from the AdA project
* Timeline: Control-Return in the timeline background creates an
annotation at player time
* Package merge interface: add shortcut buttons to select views/structure
* Prevent mistakenly not saving environment because of Template option
* Relation-types can now be drag and dropped to viewbooks (mostly from
Finder view) in order to visualise them

Dominant Color Extraction and Motion Dynamics Extraction.
* OWL import: add language option
-- Olivier Aubert <[email protected]> Tue, 29 Jun 2021 15:25:49 +0200
advene (3.12) unstable; urgency=medium
* Note-taking: new shortcut Escape (Play or Pause + seek -2s)
* The gstrecorder pseudo video-player is functional again. It allows you
to record a video, while taking live notes and annotations. After the
recording is stopped, the video is available along the corresponding
annotations.
* Annotations in timeline can be resized by dragging their border to
either a time position in the timeline background, or to another
annotation to align it with the begin or end position.
* In timeline, it is possible to offset a selection of annotations.
* Fix a text importer bug that ignored the last line of the input file
* New FlatJSON importer - able to import back the data exported through
the FlatJSON export filter. Note that this format does not convey all
Advene information - it is meant as a technical export format
(esp. for Web-based visualisations), not as an alternative saving
format.
* advene_import/advene_export scripts have been moved to bin/
* New exporter: Audacity label format
* The website exporter now uses the generic Export API

releases will now be up-to-date.
-- Olivier Aubert <[email protected]> Tue, 16 Feb 2021 19:18:31 +0100
advene (3.9) unstable; urgency=medium
* Update the HTML component to WebKit2 to be compatible with Ubuntu20
* Settings directory is now called "Advene3" on Windows and MacOSX, to
avoid confusion with previous versions of Advene. It was already
different on Linux. Your preferences will be reset.
* Video fragments can be extracted from annotations, annotation types or video montages.
* New checker comparing annotation content-types to their type's content-type.
* New GstImporter generic API, facilitating the definition of
video-processing plugins based on Gstreamer.
* New VIAN importer.
* New WebAnnotation importer.
* New shot detection algorithm based on Gstreamer's scenechange. It is
called "Scene change detection". The ShotDetect based algorithm is
still available.
-- Olivier Aubert <[email protected]> Tue, 09 Jun 2020 19:35:49 +0200
advene (3.7) unstable; urgency=medium
* Various bug fixes
* Implement WebAnnotationExporter (JSON-LD format). The current loaded package
can be exported through
http://localhost:1234/packages/advene/export/WebAnnotationExporter
* New content checker for empty contents
* Timeline view: create multiple relations by DNDing from/to a selection
* Note taking view:

- allow to disable mark insertion on single/double click
-- Olivier Aubert <[email protected]> Wed, 19 Jun 2019 18:08:17 +0200
advene (3.6) unstable; urgency=medium
* New "Keyword list" annotation type
(text/x-advene-keyword-list). It defines a dedicated syntax for
annotation content. A KeywordList annotation stores a list of
keywords, separated by a comma. An optional comment can be added
between parentheses.
Metadata (color, URI, etc) can be associated to keywords at the type level.
Using KeywordList annotations impacts the behaviour of the quickfill
entry system: when on an annotation, pressing 1 to 9 key will *toggle*
the nth predefined keyword in the annotation content. This allows to
quickly input a list of keywords.
* New CompletionChecker checks for non-predefined keywords in annotation
contents
* Basic schema statistics are displayed in the Finder view
* Improve package merge interface. It now allows to merge multiple
packages in a single action.
* New command-line scripts merge_package and export_package
* Timeline: line height can now vary (they are now larger for numeric
values types). A static image of the whole timeline can be exported
(right click on the tab to get the timeline menu).
* New generic exporter API. It allows to define python-based exporters
through plugins. It defines a default JsonFlatExporter.
* New keyword extraction plugin (right click on an annotation type to test it).
* New rdflib-based AdARDFexporter, with multiple output formats. This
plugin uses specific metadat from AdA project, but can be used as a
reference implementation for other similar needs.
* New /export global method.
-- Olivier Aubert <[email protected]> Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:22:58 +0200
advene (3.5) unstable; urgency=medium
* In Search/Replace dialog for annotations, leaving the search field
empty will replace the whole content for all annotations (mainly
useful when invoked on a specific type).
* Information about distinct annotation values is displayed in
annotation statistics (accessible in the inspector of the timeline, or
through the finder).
* Merge view:
* add a "Type" column to enable element sorting
* add a "Selection" button to toggle the selected state on a whole selection
* New feature: package import (menu File/Import package). It proposes to
import selected types and their annotations from another package
(without overwriting existing ones). This may be more convenient to
integrate work from different annotators.
* Table view: search-as-you type is disabled, and new shortcuts are
used: Return edits the content of the current row in place,
Control-Return opens the edit component for the current annotation,
and Space plays the player at the annotation position.
* Timeline view: if more than 2000 annotations are to be displayed, do
not display all annotation types by default. Instead, open the dialog
so that the user selects the desired annotation types.
* Quick completion fill: in both Timeline and Table view, a new edition
mode is available. If the appropriate option is checked (in
Edit/Preferences/Text-related), then pressing a numerical key between
1 and 9 will set the content of the currently active annotation to the
nth predefined keyword for the given type. In the timeline view, if
the cursor is over an annotation type, then pressing a 1-9 key will
create a new annotation at the current player time, with the content
of the nth predefined keyword.
* Shot validation: snapshots are scaled according to the available
space.
* The PlayerSet event has been renamed to PlayerSeek

advene (3.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* A huge memory leak affecting 3.3 (due to python3 migration) has been
fixed.
* Imagecache refactoring - it now uses actual framerate information from
the video file to determine the best screenshot for a given timestamp.
* Import/export filter options are preserved between invocations.
* Timeline: selection can be extended to all annotations (of the same
type or all annotations) in the same time range as the selected
annotations.
* Various bugfixes

* Port to Python3! Expect some new interesting bugs...
* Internal
- Python3 port. This implies str/bytes and integer division issues.
- Python3 Cherrypy (for template interpretation) uses python3 HTML
parser which is now more strict (esp. TAL instructions are not
interpreted in <style> and <script> elements, since they are
data). This means that some view templates may need to be reworked.
- The standard logging API is used throughout all the code, and
everything is displayed in the log messages windows as well as saved
to a file.
* Shot validation view: improve shortcuts handling and use Down/Up for
previous/next shot navigation.
* Allow to customize generic player controls shortcut modifier (Control
by default) through Edit/Preferences/GUI. It allows to choose a
shortcut that does not conflict with other uses, depending on the
OS/environment.
* Integrate concept detection code (courtesy of Christian Hentschel
<[email protected]>). The server code is
available as a Docker image.
* Allow to split a package using a reference annotation type. For every
reference annotation, a new package will be created with the
annotations that are in the same time range as the reference
annotation.
* Allow to search for text in annotations from all loaded packages (not
just the active one) by setting the corresponding option of the Search
button (top-right corner in the interface).
* Audio segmentation extractor: add a minimum silence duration parameter.

* Many bug fixes, probably some bug introduction
* Completion:
- Content completion is available when editing through table view or
timeline quick edit mode.
- New global option completion: if there are predefined terms for the
annotation type, then use only these terms. Else fallback on dynamic
completion.
- Annotation type predefined terms used only space as separator (and
thus could not contain spaces). If a comma is present in the terms
field, then it will be considered as separator, allowing to define
terms containing spaces.
* Table view:
- new shortcuts Control-< and Control-> to modify begin/end time
- export to CSV action
* WebAnnotation export filter
* OWL Schema importer

* Main GUI:
* Timecode display: add HH:MM:SSfNN (frame number) display format in
preferences. The same syntax can be used for timecode input too. Note
that it uses 25 fps by default (smpte-25), this can be modified in the
Time-related preferences (it does not yet get this information
from each video file).

new shot detection algorithm, feature extraction (face, eyes...). The
extraction importers can be invoked through the File/Process video
menu.
* Options can be specified from the GUI for each import filter
* For developers: the import framework has been simplified. If you
want to import data from an external application, use
util.importer.ExternalAppImporter (and see plugins/shotdetectapp.py
for an example).
* Braille table:
* Long text can be scrolled with left/right buttons in scroll mode.
* Actions:
* New parameters (balance, volume) for PlaySound / PlaySoundClip actions
