When the decryption password is wrong a zlib exception is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/relevation", line 359, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/relevation", line 332, in main
    xmldata = zlib.decompress(cleardata_gz[:-padlen], 15, 2**15)
zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

Should handle more gracefully

Some override-able variables were renamed silently in 1.11

DEFAULT_COLS ⇒ cols
DEFAULT_INTERVAL ⇒ interval
DEFAULT_NUMCAPS ⇒ numcaps

Internal: Stale code from prior versions, numsecs inside process() uses mplayer’s value instead of the best value to determine video length (and keep or discard timestamps).

As a side-effect, newer code being more strict about array vs string handling can fail easily.

“The new ‘4’ is missing the triangle in the body of the glyph 4 -.-”

Version 1.12.3 breaks on FreeBSD due to the usage of GNU-specific extensions of expr, sed and an incompatible Bash RE.

E.g. on FreeBSD

Seen in HEVC contained in MPEG-TS

Unquotted grep pattern ^ID is problematic.

Events are handled in different groups, it makes sense to handle them in as few listeners as possible (where they can be logically grouped)

Symbolic font names don’t work since IM won’t know about TTF fonts.

Probably affects other systems too.

As reported by Dirk Reiners (paraphrased)

When steps get too small they might round to 0 ⇒ infinite loop in compute_timecodes.

Parsing of manual timestamps with milliseconds multiplies seconds by 10 when no s character is used

Might fail with virtual file systems, like sshfs, which don’t implement certain features (like links)

E.g. with CTRL+C

It would be better to only use it to start the server

Android (Lollipop API21 and up) now support vector based assets and Android Studio/Gradle 1.4 will convert to PNGs on compilation for backwards compatibility.

Should replace the current SVG+scripts method to the integrated one.

Bash 2 syntax has been the norm for most versions (although broken in some).

So far none of the major distributions is using bash 2, bash 4 is already gold but not widely-used enough.

Only a few special purpose/minimal distros like DSL retain bash 2.05b, but vcs requires recent versions of ImageMagick, Mplayer and FFmpeg anyway. I can’t see a reason to retain such backwards compatibility.

Newer IM appears to use recognise system fonts by default. Using some common-place good looking font like DejaVu would be preferable.

It’s supposed to fail silently, at least accordingly to http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/#fonts but on my system it prints an error. Probably not worth supressing

WebM: http://www.webmproject.org/

Uses VP8 video and Vorbis audio.

Current Status:

Identification

MPlayer: Video detected as VP80
FFmpeg:
* 0.5.1+svn20100311: Not supported (fails in the safe-length-detection stage)
* 0.6~svn20100603: Video detected as libvpx

Capture

Both appear to work fine.
