Recent updates - November 2018

• libav support has been removed. If you don't have ffmpeg installed please follow the steps in the installation guide to install it.
• ImageMagick is now an optional but recommended dependency. Follow the installation guide to install it.

Changelog:

• Support for passwords (optional). Set a password in the config file and Kollaborate Encoder will only accept jobs if the password is included in the request. Remember to also set the password in the Configure page of the admin area on Kollaborate Server.
• Images are now piped to ffmpeg through ImageMagick, which means Kollaborate Encoder is now compatible with more image variations like CMYK
• Better support for multi-track audio files
• Kollaborate Server now sends the timecode to the encoder instead of the encoder detecting it from the file, allowing you to change the timecode from the Metadata page and have the encoder respect it when burning in timecode overlays

• Fixed a log error occurring at startup
• Removed libav support

• Kollaborate Server now requires PHP 7.2 or higher
• libav support has been removed - to switch to ffmpeg see the installation guide
