2014/12/16  SubRip 1.51.1  (c) Bloody

  - "Save As": fixed a bug where the Unicode output settings weren't always
    recognized correctly, which could also cause the "AutoSave after Post-OCR"
    function to hang (and other side effects).

2014/12/15  SubRip 1.51.0  (c) Bloody

 + Text output files are now saved in UTF-8 format by default, which can be
   configured in the "Global Options" window, under "Text Output Options".

   This was already the default for the /AUTOTEXT CLI command; now the GUI
   interface is doing the same.

 + "Subtitles" window: added support for loading UTF-8 encoded subtitles.
   The program will also no longer ask for a post-load conversion if the input
   file was encoded as UTF-16LE (or UTF-8 with BOM, for that matter).

 + "Global Options" window: added options to specify which output directory to
   use and how to proceed after saving (to save a couple of mouse clicks).

   Note that these options must be manually enabled because having them enabled
   by default might confuse some people.

 + "Fast LoadMatrix" is now the general standard for CLI and GUI mode. The point
   is that as long as you don't need to view/edit the matrix, building the glyph
   list can be avoided/postponed until the "View/Edit Matrix" window is opened.

 + "View/Edit Matrix" window: added support for Matrix Sorting, used to optimize
   a matrix for higher subtitle conversion speeds, especially if the matrix is
   very large. For example, converting a subtitle with a matrix of 15000 glyphs
   can get twice as fast on average after sorting.

   When conducting speed tests, see that the text auto-scrolldown checkbox in
   the Subtitles window is unchecked (generally faster if disabled).

   Note: matrix sorting is focusing primarily on Latin characters (7-bit ASCII).
   For other languages (like Arabic, Chinese, Russian etc.), the speed gain is
   either little, none or even negative, depending on things like if the matrix
   also contains many italic-style glyphs, multi-char glyphs etc.

 + "Add new character(s)" window: added a checkbox for tagging certain glyphs
   as temporary 'junk' chars. This helps when sometimes only a part/fragment of
   a character is recognized, where "extend-right" sometimes won't solve the
   problem. Marking a character as temporary 'junk' allows to proceed as usual
   with that 'thing' to complete the subtitle, while also keeping such chars
   from 'contaminating' the matrix file when it is eventually saved to disk.

 + "Add new character(s)" window: added a 'quick' Paste button to insert text
   from the clipboard, making things a little easier when running SubRip
   together with an external Unicode character utility (like e.g. BabelMap,
   gucharmap, KCharSelect etc.). A checkbox near the Paste button can be used to
   enable Auto-OK after paste, saving another mouse click.

   The Paste button will also filter the inserted text by removing all codes
   <=31 and 127 (stuff like Tabs, line breaks, Backspaces etc.) as well as any
   leading/trailing Spaces.

 + "Post-OCR Correction" window: added a checkbox to auto-open the Post-OCR
   window after subtitle conversion so it can't be forgotten, eliminating a
   nasty source of human error. Also saves another mouse click.

   Also added a checkbox to proceed directly to the "Save As.." dialog after
   Post-OCR Correction, saving another mouse click.

 + /FINDMATRIX CLI command: added --tiny-match-percent option for dealing with
   very short subtitles, e.g. from short 'bonus' clips or tiny 'Forced'
   subtitles. This means that your scripts can now be simplified as they won't
   need to check for exit code 2 anymore (only used by older (beta) versions).
   This new option now takes care of such cases.

 + CLI.txt: /FINDMATRIX: enhanced example script 2 and added a few more comments
   regarding huge matrix files.

 * Application version scheme changed to "SubRip-{Major}.{Minor}.{Revision}".

2014/05/12  SubRip 1.50 beta 7  (c) Bloody

 - Fixed a bug where sometimes output files could not be saved (where the "save
   as" button did nothing in that case).

 - "View/Edit Matrix" window: fixed background colors for panels on the right
   side so they won't be influenced by certain Windows themes anymore.

 - "Save as Unicode": when using the GUI, the output filename in the file
   requester will now be pre-built in the same way as in the 'regular' requester
   ("Save as ANSI"). Avoids a bit of filename typing there.

 - Post-OCR I/l Correction: fixed a few more cases, like a lone I/l followed by
   a hyphen '-' or any I/l after a left parenthesis '(' or a left bracket '[' in
   certain cases.

 - punct.dic: added more fixes for the percent (%) character issue, for
   combinations of Slash/Degree chars where one of the two is marked as italic
   while the other is not, according to matching entries in the current
   character matrix.

 - CLI.txt: added a better usage example for finding 'double' matrix files using
   the /FINDMATRIX command, for people who prefer to go directly to the
   "Examples:" section without further reading about the available options.

 - "Wake me up": raised the timer interval from 10/10 to 15/20 seconds.

• support for extracting subtitles from video files
• support for saving recognized subtitles as bitmaps for later removal
• "extend left and right" for disjoint characters
• "best guess so far" functionality
• fill character matrix from a manually matched font
• Zuggy has solved the P4 crash problem.
