Natron 2.4.3 released
Natron 2.4.3 was released, with binaries available for Linux, Windows and macOS.
This will most probably be the last version supporting Python 2.7.
Development will focus on supporting Python 3 and Qt 5, especially in the binary releases:
- Natron 2.5 will support Python 3 (Python 2 will be dropped).
- Natron 2.6 will support Qt5 (Qt 4 support will be dropped).
