vvenc-v1.12.1

• Set VUI flags conforming with DVB specs
• Allow controlling of some more VUI flags from command line

vvenc-v1.12.1-rc1

• Set VUI flags conforming with DVB specs
• Allow controlling of some more VUI flags from command line

vvenc-v1.12.0

• Added capped constant quality mode (CQF), enabled when setting fixed QP with QPA and a maximal rate constraint
• Added support for monochrome video in the simple app
• Added automatic setting of multi-threading options to improve scaling
  • will change results depending on the number of threads (on per default in the simple app, off in FF-app)
  • can be disabled using the mtprofile option
• Minor speedups to the faster preset (~5%)

vvenc-v1.12.0-rc2

vvenc-v1.11.1

bugfix release:

• fix performance regression on ARM by reverting SIMDe to use SSE41 rather than AVX2 code

vvenc-v1.11.0

Over v1.10.0:

• finalized inter-frame parallelization (previously FPP)
• added vectorized DQ implementation
• improved SCC detection by reducing false positives
• added an affine speedup based on Pejman et al., ICIP 2023.
• overall speedups:
  • 6% for fast/slow/slower
  • 12% for medium, 25%+ for multi-threaded execution with long intra periods

Over v1.11.0-rc1:

• fixed some valgrind issues
• marked some MSVC issues as fixed in 19.39

vvenc-1.10.0

• first IDR per default at POC31 instead of POC0 to align with other GOPs
• improved RC, especially for high rates and low activity scenes, especially for HDR
• enabled spatial sub-sampling for 2pRC in preset faster
• number of MCTF references adaptively increased
• reduced the efficiency gap for dependent frame parallelism (still experimental, as not harmonized with RC)
• around 0.5% BDR gains for all presets
• many other minor cleanups and changes
