- Creation of rendering scripts for delayed rendering
- Double pass encoding for rendering (just add "pass=2" to your profile)
- Track locking
- Configurable monitor background color for better previewing
- Web updates: you can now download new rendering profiles from Kdenlive's web site
- Split audio, allows you to separate a clip in it's audio and video parts
- Improved compatibility with Kdenlive 0.5 project files
