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).

Replace with pure bash or perl/awk

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

Introduce new names in 1.12 (this)

Remove old names in 1.13 or 1.14 (FS#151)

Doing this better will remove from of the duplication with overrides, specially on the filename font/non-latin stuff

When a timestamp is present in more than one set (highlights/std/extended) there’s no need to re-capture it.

End offset will be set to a small percentage of the length (5.5%? –5m for 90m–), applicable always by default, instead of a fixed value

MIN_LENGTH_FOR_END_OFFSET was deprecated in 1.11 and will be ignored starting with 1.12.

The new behaviour is to apply by default a small end offset always, based on the video length. Users will be able to disable this with either -E0 or config option end_offset=0

With the introduction of profiles vcs will need directories to place them.

Using vcs-nix might be safer since vcs is too short and too meaningful (Version Control System) to hijack it safely.

Candidates:

• Site-wide: /usr/share/vcs/profiles, /usr/local/share/vcs/profiles/
• User-local: ~/.vcs/profiles/

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

Complete manpage.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12.1

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12.2.

1.12.2 might be skipped and its items pushed back to 1.13.

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.

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.
