Release Notes of version 3.2 ====================== New features ------------------ 1. 3-level hierarchical motion estimation using :option:`--hme` and :option:`--hme-search`. 2. New AQ mode (:option:`--aq-mode` 4) with variance and edge information. 3. :option:`selective-sao` to selectively enable SAO at slice level. Enhancements to existing features ---------------------------------------------- 1. New implementation of :option:`--refine-mv` with 3 refinement levels. Encoder enhancements -------------------------------- 1. Improved quality in the frames following dark scenes in ABR mode. API changes ------------------- 1. Additions to x265_param structure to support the newly added features :option:`--hme`, :option:`--hme-search` and :option:`selective-sao`. Bug fixes ------------- 1. Fixed encoder crash with :option:`--zonefile` during failures in encoder_open(). 2. Fixed JSON11 build errors with HDR10+ on MacOS high sierra. 3. Signalling out of range scaling list data fixed. 4.
