@Rhvy1 It looks like we found why it doesn’t run for you. You probably using Windows 7?
Can you please try this build? - MorevnaCloud
It just flashes the synfig development snapshot 
I will try the new build though
Thanks for your work

Bi-Weekly Report (September 28 - October 11)
Hi everyone! I have missed the last report due to life circumstances.
So, here goes a bi-weekly recap of news in Synfig development:
Fixes and improvements
- Improved performance by reducing memory copying when working with valuenodes (#2831). The performance tests show ~20% improvement on file loading.
- Fixed problem, which made it impossible to run Synfig on Windows 7 (#104).
Infrastructure
- Fixed problem on Synfig Forums, which made impossible for some users to log in
- Synfig Forums now have Solved plugin enabled. That allows to mark topic replies as solutions and indicate which problems are already resolved. The plugin is enabled for two forum sections - Support and Non English Forums.
Code cleanup & Refactoring
- The “etl::bezier” and “etl::hermite” classes and merged (#2808) and moved to synfig-core module (#2840). This is part of ongoing work of eliminating ETL dependency, which will result in simpler build and better code structure.
- Use runtime check of openGL availability, instead of compile-time (#2835).
- Code cleanup, add docs and merge ETL/hermite with ETL/bezier.
- Updated dependencies for Debian 11 based distros (#2837).
- Autotools build: Release build now can be compiled with “debuginfo” symbols (#2838)

Just noticed that “ALPHA” blend method is only available in 1.5.1 series and not backported to 1.4.3

Can you please find relevant PR (which has merged this feature in master branch) and add it to v1.4.4 project - v1.4.4 · GitHub
It should be this one, but it should be rechecked to avoid side effects (see CURRENT_CANVAS_VERSION)

@BobSynfig Added to my notes. 
I actually thinking that we may release next stable version from master branch…

Hi everyone!
This week we are happy to present you a new tutorial, which helps Synfig newbies to understand interpolation of waypoints.
There is also another great tutorial by @Khemardi, which shows how to create a custom switch controller. Take a look! -
And here’s what’s new in Synfig’s code for the last week:
- Fixed issue #2857 - changing interpolation of Canvas parameter was changing interpolation for other waypoints.
- The “Target” dropdown in Render dialog now renamed to “Module” (#2869).
