Hi all, x265 version 3.5 is out with new features and encoder enhancements. Please download v3.5 from our downloads page <https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/downloads/x265_3.5.tar.gz> ( MD5Sum is deb5df5cb2ec17bdbae6ac6bbc3b1eef) and do check out the full documentation available in our release notes <https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/release_3.5/releasenotes.html>.
Release notes =========== New feature ---------------- 1. Real-time VBV for ABR (Average BitRate) encodes in –pass 2 using :option:`--vbv-live-multi-pass`: Improves VBV compliance with no significant impact on coding efficiency. Enhancements to existing features --------------------------------- 1. Improved hist-based scene cut algorithm: Reduces false positives by leveraging motion and scene transition info. 2. Support for RADL pictures at IDR scene cuts: Improves coding efficiency with no significant impact on performance. 3. Bidirectional scene cut aware Frame Quantizer Selection: Saves bits than forward masking with no noticeable perceptual quality difference. API changes ----------- 1. Additions to x265_param structure to support the newly added features and encoder enhancements. 2. New x265_param options :option:`--min-vbv-fullness` and :option:`--max-vbv-fullness` to control min and max VBV fullness. Bug fixes --------- 1. Incorrect VBV lookahead in :option:`--analysis-load` + :option:`--scale-factor`. 2. Encoder hang when VBV is used with slices. 3. QP spikes in the row-level VBV rate-control when WPP enabled. 4. Encoder crash in :option:`--abr-ladder`. Happy compressing!! -- Regards, *Aruna Matheswaran,* Video Codec Engineer, Media & AI analytics BU,
