vvenc-v1.13.0-rc1

• added various ARM optimization (thanks @georges-arm)
• added a DASH optimized decoder refresh mode (idr_no_radl)
• added a GOP adaptive QP cascade (only for non-QPA case, which already does it on GOP/frame/block level)
• improved rate control and QPA haromization, especially for preset fast
• added experimental film grain analysis
• memory reductions for presets faster/fast/medium
• preset tuning
  • 5% speedup for medium and 2% for slow/slower
• other improvements, cleanups and fixes

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

Over v1.12.0-rc1

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
