+# FrameDeck v0.0.1-beta.12
+
+This beta focuses on reliable professional playback and review collaboration.
+
+## New in this build
+
+- Broad FFmpeg/PyAV container and codec compatibility, including H.264/AVC,
+  H.265/HEVC, AV1, VP8/VP9 and ProRes in common professional containers.
+- Robust stream selection, VFR FPS fallback, bounded damaged-frame recovery,
+  codec metadata and clearer diagnostics when a file cannot be decoded.
+- Persistent frame notes and a right-side review comment panel with pins,
+  Open/Resolved status, All/Current Frame filters and frame navigation.
+- Pencil/Text annotation redo plus the new Arrow annotation tool.
+- SMPTE timecode with correct 29.97 and 59.94 drop-frame counting.
+- Optional session restore. Startup remains empty unless the user enables
+  `Tools > Restore Last Session on Startup`.
+- Automatic VFX shot-name matching to locate related plate/comp versions for
+  A/B comparison.
+- Ping-Pong playback for image sequences, including reverse-aware prefetch and
+  playlist/session persistence.
+
+## Codec scope
+
+Actual decode availability is determined by the FFmpeg libraries bundled in
+the PyAV runtime. Proprietary camera formats that require a vendor SDK may
+still require transcoding to a standard review format.
