FreeJ is a vision mixer: an instrument for
realtime video manipulation used in the fields of
dance and theater performance, veejaying, medical
visualization, and TV. With FreeJ, multiple layers
can be filtered through effect chains and then
mixed together. The supported layer inputs are
images, movies, live cameras, particle generators,
text scrollers, and more. The resulting video mix
can be shown on multiple and remote screens,
encoded into a movie, and streamed live to the
Internet. FreeJ can be controlled locally or
remotely from multiple places at the same time,
using a slick console interface. It can be
automated via JavaScript and operated via MIDI and
joystick.

Changes:
Fixes include a new video encoder backend based on
the ffmpeg2theora utilities and a new parameter
system for the scripting and console interface.
Scripting now implements inheritance of objects
and outputs precise debugging messages. Some new
frei0r generators are included along with the BeTV
script.
