• Wire doesn't go into screen saver mode anymore.
• Renamed ripple's shift to phase.
• Audio preferences also gives you the option for no input or output device at all.
• Loading a project with an image file that doesn't exist anymore, shows a message in the log.
• Fixed a bug where Edit > Destroy was sometimes greyed out when it shouldn't have been.
• Importing the same resource twice reuses the same resource file.
• Fixed a crash on project load when no audio input devices is selected in the preferences.

• Wire occasionally freezes on shutdown or project load.
• The video input inspector needs a "No input" radio button.
