Fixed some rare VFR edge cases being handled wrong. See bugtracker issue #773. (Plorkyeran)
The Automation3 (!) karaskel will no longer fail to process the last line of the file. (jfs)

Aegisub will no longer crash when playing video with no audio player/provider present. (Patch by Avi.)
Reading subtitles from Matroska files will now work with files using the filename extensions .mka and .mks too, not just .mkv. (TheFluff)

The FFMS2 providers will now automatically keep the cache of index files at a manageable size (previously it would never get emptied automatically ever); the default maximum is 42 MB/20 files. Removal is based on last access time (last used, first deleted). (TheFluff)
Automation4-Perl now exports the Aegisub::Script::set_undo_point() function. This is mostly useless however, since Auto4-Perl currently only supports macros and those set the undo point automatically anyway. (TheFluff)
The Automation4-Lua karaoke templater now supports variable loops and has had a few new utility functions added to it. See bugtracker issue #753. (jfs)
Integer edit boxes in Automation4-Lua will now automatically get spin controls. If no min/max is specified, MININT/MAXINT is assumed. (jfs)

The FFmpeg video provider will now automatically read timecodes from the container. See bugtracker issue #864. (TheFluff)
The “tip of the day” dialog has been removed as it was mostly useless. It may or may not return later in another form. (jfs)

“Portable application” support has been removed from all non-Windows builds as it was heavily broken on everything that wasn’t Windows. See bugtracker issue #856. (jfs)

The Avisynth provider will now use FFMS2 where it used to use FFMS1. (TheFluff)

The way the secondary color in the dummy video provider’s checkerboard pattern is calculated has been changed so that it gives better results for dark colors.
The styling assistant now requires a double-click to select a style. This should prevent issues with misclicking on a style when just trying to focus the assistant. (Harukalover)
The FFmpeg audio and video providers are now considered deprecated; use the FFMS2 providers instead (they are superior in pretty much every possible way). (verm)
The PortAudio player has been rewritten to use PortAudio v19 instead of v18. Should be more reliable in general now, but still has some minor issues. (verm)
The splash screen and about box have both been changed to be less ANIMU KAWAII ^___^ to make the program acceptable for use in a wider circle of people. See bugtracker issue #858. (jfs)

The “clean tags” automation script shipped with Aegisub has been updated. (ai-chan)
libass has been updated to HEAD (as of 2009-07-13) from greg’s repository. Many improvements have been made, including support for a lot more tags and less memory leaks. (greg, verm)
