5.2. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual
changes (where available).
- N/A
UI/UX Improvements

any available monitor in a multi-monitor setup.

bar while applying positions from a track to images.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed translation of snapshot module's labels.
- Expanded width of preference boxes Lua Options so that long input is visible.
- Fixed compilation when OpenMP is disabled.

raw files from ancient (over two decades old) Canon cameras that
recorded raw files with .tiff extension.

Windows with PFM files that have Unicode characters in the file
name.
- Fixed a bug in liquify OpenCL code leading to incorrect clamped
