Notable fixes/changes in version 2019.1:
- The waveform and histogram monitors now display full-range (-7.3% to 109.1%) rather than clipping at 0% and 100%. Areas outside 0-100% are shaded in the histogram monitor. Full-range color is also supported for external-monitor preview.
- Changed the default audio pan type from Constant Power to Balanced to prevent possible audio-level changes during transcoding.
