I've often seen media offline issues on Twitter, so I hope it's resolved. - Addressed 3D keyer issue when compositing multiple layers.
I have heard that this issue has been confirmed with official support and is expected to be resolved in the version under development. - Addressed a performance degradation issue on some OpenCL Windows systems.
Although it is unconfirmed, since it is OpenCL, it is presumed to be a problem related to the AMD Radeon GPU environment. - Addressed crash on startup with older Intel graphics drivers on Windows.
