+slug: launching-v1.8.1
+tags: [release, v1.8.1]
+authors: MemerGamer
+---
+
+AniMathIO v1.8.1 is a patch release with a security update and a fix for the ffmpeg loader used by video export. It adds no new features.
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- Updated Next.js to 16.4.4, which includes a security fix, and fixed the ffmpeg worker build.
+- Stripped the ffmpeg dynamic worker URL so Turbopack builds the ffmpeg.wasm loader correctly. Video export depends on this loader.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This release also updates Electron, Vitest, and several transitive dependencies that had security patches available. Dependabot is now configured to keep Nextron on 9.x.
