2020-12-24: Microsoft Store : Not an official version, not related to us.

It seems someone is packaging free/opensource softwares and putting them on the Microsoft store. They charge a variable amount of money for that.

Avidemux is one of them.

So to make it clear :

* It is not done by us at all

* Spending money there is not helping

* They are probably breaking at least one of our licenses doing that (GPL/Binary distribution) or microsoft TOS.

So just download avidemux for free from the download links on the left and dont feed the parasites.

2018-06-09: 2.7.1v2: Small change in appImage

Some new systems (ubuntu 18.04) do not bundle libjson-c anymore.

As a result, the default audio device is not working on those systems.

The 2.7.1v2 appImage fixes that, exact same thing, just a packaging change.
