API and Key Behavior Changes
38
* x265_rc_stats added to x265_picture, containing all RC decision
39
points for that frame.
40
* PTL: high tier is now allowed by default, chosen only if
41
necessary.
42
* multi-pass: First pass now uses slow-firstpass by default,
43
enabling better RC decisions in future passes.
44
* pools: fix behaviour on multi-socketed Windows systems, provide
45
more flexibility in determining thread and pool counts.
46
* ABR: improve bits allocation in the first few frames, abr reset,
47
vbv and cutree improved.
48
New Features
49
* uhd-bd: Enforce Ultra-HD Blu-ray Disc parameters
50
(overrides any other settings).
51
* rskip: Enables skipping recursion to analyze lower CU sizes
52
using heuristics at different rd-levels. Provides good visual
53
quality gains at the highest quality presets.
54
* rc-grain: Enables a new rate control mode specifically for
55
grainy content. Strictly prevents QP oscillations within and
56
between frames to avoid grain fluctuations.
57
* tune grain: A fully refactored and improved option to encode
58
film grain content including QP control as well as analysis
59
options.
60
* asm: ARM assembly is now enabled by default, native or cross
61
compiled builds supported on armv6 and later systems.
62
Misc
63
* An SSIM calculation bug was corrected
64
- soname bump to 87.
65
- Fixed arm.patch.
66
- Added libnuma-devel as buildrequires for arch x86_64 (except
67
for openSUSE 13.1 because libnuma-devel >= 2.0.9 is required).

99
API Changes:
100
* Experimental support for Main12 is now enabled. Partial
101
assembly support exists.
102
* Main12 and Intra/Still picture profiles are now supported.
103
Still picture profile is detected based on
104
x265_param::totalFrames.
105
* Three classes of encoding statistics are now available
106
through the API.
107
+ x265_stats - contains encoding statistics, available
108
through x265_encoder_get_stats()
109
+ x265_frame_stats and x265_cu_stats - contains frame
110
encoding statistics, available through recon x265_picture
111
* --csv
112
* x265_encoder_log() is now deprecated
113
* x265_param::csvfn is also deprecated
114
* --log-level now controls only console logging, frame
115
level console logging has been removed.
116
* Support added for new color transfer characteristic ARIB
117
STD-B67
118
New Features:
119
* limit-refs
120
+ This feature limits the references analysed for
121
individual CUS.
122
+ Provides a nice tradeoff between efficiency and
123
performance.
124
+ aq-mode 3
125
* A new aq-mode that provides additional biasing for
126
low-light conditions.
127
* An improved scene cut detection logic that allows
128
ratecontrol to manage visual quality at fade-ins and
129
fade-outs better.
130
Preset and Tune Options:
131
* tune grain
132

140
141
- soname bump to 59
142
- Update to version 1.7
143
* large amount of assembly code optimizations
144
* some preliminary support for high dynamic range content
145
* improvements for multi-library support
146
* some new quality features
147
(full documentation at: http://x265.readthedocs.org/en/1.7)
148
* This release simplifies the multi-library support introduced
149
in version 1.6. Any libx265 can now forward API requests to
150
other installed libx265 libraries (by name) so applications
151
like ffmpeg and the x265 CLI can select between 8bit and 10bit
152
encodes at runtime without the need of a shim library or
153
library load path hacks. See --output-depth, and
154
http://x265.readthedocs.org/en/1.7/api.html#multi-library-interface
155
* For quality, x265 now allows you to configure the quantization
156
group size smaller than the CTU size (for finer grained AQ
157
adjustments). See --qg-size.
158
* x265 now supports limited mid-encode reconfigure via a new public
159
method: x265_encoder_reconfig()
160
* For HDR, x265 now supports signaling the SMPTE 2084 color transfer
161
function, the SMPTE 2086 mastering display color primaries, and the
162
content light levels. See --master-display, --max-cll
163
* x265 will no longer emit any non-conformant bitstreams unless
164
--allow-non-conformance is specified.
165
* The x265 CLI now supports a simple encode preview feature. See
166
--recon-y4m-exec.
167
* The AnnexB NAL headers can now be configured off, via x265_param.bAnnexB
168
This is not configurable via the CLI because it is a function of the
169
muxer being used, and the CLI only supports raw output files. See
170
--annexb
171
Misc:
172
* --lossless encodes are now signaled as level 8.5
173
* --profile now has a -P short option
174
* The regression scripts used by x265 are now public, and can be found at:
175
https://bitbucket.org/sborho/test-harness
176
* x265's cmake scripts now support PGO builds, the test-harness can be
177
used to drive the profile-guided build process.

Tue Apr 28 20:08:06 UTC 2015 - aloisio@gmx.com
181
182
- soname bumped to 51
183
- Update to stable version 1.6
184
Perfomance changes:
185
* heavy improvements for AVX2 capable platforms
186
(Haswell and later Intel CPUs) and work efficiency
187
improvements for multiple-socket machines.
188
189
API changes:
190
* --threads N replaced by --pools N,N and --lookahead-slices N
191
* --[no-]rdoq-level N - finer control over RDOQ effort
192
* --min-cu-size N - trade-off compression for performance
193
* --max-tu-size N - trade-off compression for performance
194
* --[no-]temporal-layers - code unreferenced B frames in temporal
195
layer 1
196
* --[no-]cip aliases added for --[no-]constrained-intra
197
* Added support for new color transfer functions "smpte-st-2084"
198
and "smpte-st-428
199
* --limit-refs N was added, but not yet implemented
200
* Deprecated x265_setup_primitives() was removed from the public
201
API and is no longer exported DLLs
202
203
Threading changes:
204
* The x265 thread pool has been made NUMA aware.
205
* The --threads parameter, which used to specify a global
206
pool size, has been replaced with a --pools parameter which
207
allows you to specify a pool size per NUMA node (aka CPU socket
208
or package). The default is still to allocate one pool worker
209
thread per logical core on the machine, but with --pools one
210
can isolate those threads to a given socket.
211
* Other than socket isolation, the biggest visible change in the
212
NUMA aware thread pools is the increase in work efficiency.
213
The total utilization will generally decrease but the performance
214
will increase since worker threads spend less time context
215
switching. Also, the threading of the lookahead was made more
216
work-efficient. Each lookahead job is a much larger piece of work.
217
Before (1.5):
218
disable thread pool: --threads 1
219
default thread pool: --threads 0
220
restrict to 4 threads: --threads 4
221
After (1.6):
222
disable thread pools: --pools 0
223
default thread pools: --pools *
224
restrict to 4 threads: --pools 4
225
restrict to 4 threads on socket 1: --pools -,4
226
restrict to all threads on socket 0: --pools +,-
227
228
Multi-lib interface:
229
* In order to support runtime selection of a libx265
230
shared library, we have introduced an x265_api structure
231
and an x265_api_get() function. Applications which use
232
this interface to acquire the libx265 functional interface
233
will be able to use shim libraries to bind a particular build
234
of libx265 at run time. See the API documentation for full
235
details.

Sun Feb 22 09:07:11 UTC 2015 - aloisio@gmx.com
239
240
- soname bump
241
- Update to stable version 1.5
242
* improvements in Main10 compression efficiency and performance
243
and psycho-visual optimizations now enabled by default
244
Feature additions:
245
* analysis re-use features have been completed
246
* rate control zones have been introduced
247
* --tune grain introduced
248
* deblocking tC and Beta offsets are now configurable
249
* denoise is seperately configurable for inter and intra CUs
250
* frame based CSV logging has been improved
251
* New support for VTune task profiles
252
Presets and defaults:
253
* ultrafast no longer disables the deblocking loop filter
254
* psy-rd defaults to 0.3 (was 0, disabled)
255
* psy-rdoq defaults to 1.0 (was 0, disabled)
256
* aq-mode defaults to 1 (was 2, auto-variance)
257
* 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 encodes no longer generate compliance warnings
258
API changes:
259
* param.rc.rateTolerance has been removed and replaced with a simpler
260
param.rc.bStrictCbr flag.
261
* --log-level debug is now --log-level 4 instead of --log-level 3.
262
A new 'frame' log level was inserted at level 3 in order to support
263
frame level CSV logging without also enabling frame level console
264
logging. Using the string name 'debug' is unambiguous as its
265
behavior has not changed.
266
267
- version 1.4
268
* large refactoring in the analysis code
269
Feature additions:
270
* --pmode (parallel mode decision)
271
* --pme (parallel motion estimation).
272
Presets and defaults:
273
* --amp is now respected in RD levels 2, 3, and 4 (previously only
274
in 5 and 6).
275
* --b-intra is now respected in all RD levels.
276
* --fast-cbf, which has only ever effective at RD levels 5 and 6,
277
is no longer enabled uselessly in the fastest presets.
278
* --weightb is now enabled by default at presets slower, veryslow,
279
and placebo.
280
* --cu-lossless was changed to only attempt a lossless encode of
281
the best lossy encode method. This made --cu-lossless a much less
282
expensive encode option to have enabled, and hopefully made the
283
feature more robust and maintainable.
284
* The upper threshold for --psy-rdoq was raised to 50 (from 10)
285
since the higher values were found to be beneficial for sources
286
with high frequency noise (film grain).
287
* The default thread pool size logic was updated to account for the
288
addition of --pmode and --pme (if WPP is disabled but --pmode or
289
--pme are enabled, a thread pool is still allocated).
