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.

PyCryptoPlus is a drop-in replacement for PyCrypto written in Python, meaning it can run much more easily on Windows.

There’s a new, more secure, file format

cryptopy provides a pure python implementation of ciphers, allowing easier install on some systems (e.g. 64bits Windows) than PyCrypto.
Unlike PyCryptoPlus it doesn’t seem to depend on PyCrypto but has a different API.

The performance degrades considerably, of course.

Safe length measuring, when probing the video length, prints only the number of seconds and milliseconds, it would be better to display a more readable format.

This should prevent task killers from reaping it as easily

Starting with Marshmallow (API level 23, Android 6.0) READ_PHONE_STATE is considered a dangerous permission (and as a result it can be revoked by the user at any time) but at the same time it is no longer required to check connection status.

Should restrict it to old API levels (NOTE the API documentation don’t mention this requirement anymore, but old devices DO require it).

shoehorn is most probably no longer needed (or even working) with the complexity vcs has gained over time

–mincho was replaced with –nonlatin in 1.11
