Aegisub 3.2.0 Changelog

Released: July 28, 2014

  • Fix crash when pasting emoji into the edit box
  • Use the OS spellchecker service rather than Hunspell.

Performance

  • Make fontconfig indexing about four times as fast
  • Significantly speed up passing subtitles to the subtitle renderer (as much as 10x faster), making the video display less laggy with large files

  • Support loading keyframes and timecodes files via drag-and-drop (#1749)

Subtitle editing

  • The subtitles grid has gained as Characters Per Second column, with customizable warning and error thresholds (#609)
  • Undo now restores the selected lines and cursor position that were active when the change being undone occured
  • Double-clicking on a word which is right next to a \N no longer selects the \N along with the word
