- Update to version 3.5
  New features:
  * Real-time VBV for ABR (Average BitRate) encodes in –pass 2
    using --vbv-live-multi-pass. Improves VBV compliance with no
    significant impact on coding efficiency.
  Enhancements to existing features:
  * Improved hist-based scene cut algorithm: Reduces false
    positives by leveraging motion and scene transition info.
  * Support for RADL pictures at IDR scene cuts: Improves coding
    efficiency with no significant impact on performance.
  * Bidirectional scene cut aware Frame Quantizer Selection:
    Saves bits than forward masking with no noticeable perceptual
    quality difference.
  API changes:
  * Additions to x265_param structure to support the newly added
    features and encoder enhancements.
  * New x265_param options --min-vbv-fullness and
    --max-vbv-fullness to control min and max VBV fullness.
  Bug fixes:
  * Incorrect VBV lookahead in --analysis-load + --scale-factor.
  * Encoder hang when VBV is used with slices.
  * QP spikes in the row-level VBV rate-control when WPP enabled.
  * Encoder crash in --abr-ladder.
