The far future version 0.3 is planned to improve project management features allowing users to pre-cache only the parts of a video needed. It is also planned to add support for OpenTimelineIO. Even though 0.2 is not officially released yet, nightly builds can be downloaded and tested. Version 0.2 (unofficial title The Rewrite) is planned to provide the solid base for the planned features.
Since the code base of 0.1 wouldn't allow planned features and because the development team saw that the "codebase was full of problems that made it unsustainable", the program had to be rewritten from the ground up. Due to being inexperienced the author says that a lot of programming and video handling mistakes were made. The original author said that the program itself was his first C++ and his first large-scale programming project. Olive 0.1 was in development for a year before it was published. According to the development team, this batch of features is one "no other NLE - not even commercial - has tried to do". With six studio albums to date and many more singles, several of which have gained Platinum or Multi-Platinum status, theres plenty to like about Church and. The plan of the development team is to combine complete color management, a fast and high-fidelity half-float/float-based render pipeline, node-based compositing and audio mixing, and a highly efficient automated disk cache all together in the one program. It is written in C++ and uses Qt for its graphical user interface, FFmpeg for its multimedia functions, OpenImageIO library, OpenColorIO for color management and CMake build system for configuring.
