Beta 9 - November 2018

OpenTimelineIO Release v0.9

Big Changes:

• #309 FCP X XML adapter (thanks @eric-with-a-c)
• New plugins:
  • #351 HookScripts: let you run code in between steps in the OTIO execution flow
  • #342 SchemaDefs: add your own proprietary schemas to OTIO (for example, for a custom metadata class specific to your studio) (@peachey)
• #342 UnknownSchema: If OTIO hits a schema it doesn't recognize, it doesn't trigger a parse error, instead a blind object is constructed and carried along. (@peachey)
• #312 Documentation for OTIO now lives on readthedocs: https://opentimelineio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html (big thanks to @boredstiff)
• Optimizations:
  • #357 Tracks now maintain a set to improve 'contains' performance, resulting in (in some cases) 50x speedup for constructing tracks with lots of clips (thanks @rogergodspeed)
  • #358 Added range_of_all_children to return a dictionary of all the ranges of children of a track in the space of the parent (equivalent to range_in_parent). This sped up the flatten algorithm considerably.

Small Changes:

• #335, #325, #301 Improvements to the AAF reader (including support for handling muted clips)
• #299 Now commandline tools are organized into a 'console' module so that pip install correctly installs them
• #355 otioview, otioconvert and otiocat grew a commandline argument to disable the medialinker -m none
• #291 Builds now also include Python 3.6, to keep up with the VFX platform. (@boredstiff)
• #359 Ensure that constructors copy values for things that shouldn't be referenced.

otioview:

• #302 otioview now has a number of keyboard shortcuts that make it easier to navigate (@bonpix)
• #321 Dark mode for otioview (@boredstiff)

As usual, other small fixes and improvements.
