 # Blender Cloud changelog
 
 
+## Version 1.10.0 (2019-01-02)
+
+- Bundles Blender-Asset-Tracer 0.8.
+- Fix crashing Blender when running in background mode (e.g. without GUI).
+- Flamenco: Include extra job parameters to allow for encoding a video at the end of a render
+  job that produced an image sequence.
+- Flamenco: Compress all blend files, and not just the one we save from Blender.
+- Flamenco: Store more info in the `jobinfo.json` file. This is mostly useful for debugging issues
+  on the render farm, as now things like the exclusion filter and Manager settings are logged too.
+- Flamenco: Allow BAT-packing of only those assets that are referred to by relative path (e.g.
+  a path starting with `//`). Assets with an absolute path are ignored, and assumed to be reachable
+  at the same path by the Workers.
+- Flamenco: Added 'blender-video-chunks' job type, meant for rendering the edit of a film from the
+  VSE. This job type requires that the file is configured for rendering to Matroska video
+  files.
+
+  Audio is only extracted when there is an audio codec configured. This is a bit arbitrary, but it's
+  at least a way to tell whether the artist is considering that there is audio of any relevance in
+  the current blend file.
+
+
 ## Version 1.9.4 (2018-11-01)
 
 - Fixed Python 3.6 and Blender 2.79b incompatibilities accidentally introduced in 1.9.3.
