release 4.2.22

Release 4.2.22

Some changes from Gil. Thanks for the content Gil!
I also compiled this release  with optimization for size, "-os". 4.2.21 was compiled with optimization for speed "-o2".

What this means is how I compile the code base. It is possible 4.2.21 was not as stable as this release, maybe. Anyways, this release and the previous 7 are all done with the "-os" compile.

I have noticed the past several updates have been very stable, at least for me. Even with frequent saves and renders I have had no crashes. Saves have been  little slow, but I have the lor sequence imported as effects and it may slow things down. Thank you for the hard work and heaving lifting.

I might be going crazy, but this version seems to be faster when opening the software and opening a sequence.
Thanks
