Flowblade 2.24, an open-source video editor, introduces UI improvements including new compound clip creation and dual trim features. The development team is working on porting to GTK4 but faces a critical decision: GTK4's windowless widgets require dropping SDL2 video display, forcing them to choose between creating video consumers for both Wayland and X11, or going Wayland-only. They're leaning toward Wayland-only support and waiting 2+ years until major distros adopt Wayland-only versions of GNOME and KDE before completing the port. The current release includes preparatory work like a new keyboard shortcut framework and event controller migration.
