Wed Apr 10 11:16:02 UTC 2024 - Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>

- Update to version 2.3.1
  Features:
  * --(no-)enable-logging to enable/disable logging of normal
    encoder perfomance into stderr, errors are still outputted
    to stderr.
  * AVX2 optimisations for finding last non zero coefficient in
    RDOQ
  * Remove YASM to make compilation with visual studio easier
  * Experimental support for CMake, in the future we would like
    to get rid of automake and visual studio so if there are any
    issues with the CMakeLists.txt please report them
  Fixes:
  * Fix a bug when requesting encoder_headers before any frame
    has been pushed in
  * Fix a problem with win+gcc (mingw, msys, cygwin) causing
    some optimized functions to segfault
  * Fix GCC detection for automake
  External contributions:
  * add config option to turn off logging output
  * Don't export MD5 byteReverse symbol on big-endian
  Performance:
  * The RD performance should be exactly the same as in v2.2.0
    and configurations using RDOQ should be around 1-3% faster
    with the AVX2 optimizations
- Drop kvazaar-fix_libm_underlinking.patch,
  kvazaar-add_soversion.patch, kvazaar-fix_install_libdir.patch
  and kvazaar-fix_install_mandir.patch (merged upstream)

Tue Oct  4 07:43:42 UTC 2016 - aloisio@gmx.com

- Update to version 1.0.0
  New Features
  * --version
  * --help
  * --loop-input
  * --mv-constraint to constrain motion vectors
  * --tiles=2x2 as an alternative syntax for uniform tiles
  * --hash=md5
  * Print information about what SIMD optimizations are in 
    use
  * --mv=full8 --mv=full16 --mv=full32 --mv=full64
  * --cu-split-termination=zero/off
  * --crypto for selective encryption of bitstream (for 
    OpenHEVC)
  * --me-early-termination=sensitive/on/off for early 
    termination of motion vector search
  * Added 4x8 SMP and 4x12 AMP motion partitions
  * --subme=0/1/2/3/4 for control over complexity of 
    fractional pixel motion prediction
  * --lossless for lossless coding
  * Monochrome coding
  * --input-format=420/400
  * --input-bitdepth=8/10
  * --tmpv for temporal motion vector predictor
  * --rdoq-skip for not using rdoq for situations where it's 
    unlikely to improve BDRate
  * Modified --gop=lp-g4d3r1t1 syntax to not take the 
    reference frames as a parameter, it's now --gop=lp-g4d3t1.
  * Enable WPP and multithreading by default, with detection 
    for number of cores
  * Update all presets to ratedistortion-complexity 
    optimized versions. These are based on a search of all 
    (~ish) possible encoding parameters and bring a huge boost 
    to both speed and BDRate when encoding with the presets (10x 
    speed for veryslow, ~1.1x-4x for others, up to 30% improved 
    BDRate for some presets).
  * Set default options to match medium with intra period of 
    64, QP 22 and --gop=lp-g4d3t1
  * --implicit-rdpcm RExt feature
  Optimizations
  * AVX2 version for Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO)
  * Optimized memory copying
  * AVX2 versions of filters for fractional pixel motion 
    estimation
  * AVX2 version for half pixel chroma sampling for SMP/AMP
  * AVX2 versions for calculating two or four SATD values at 
    once for small blocks
  * Rewrote AVX2 version of fractional pixel motion 
    compensation
  * Rewrote motion vector cost calculation. It only got 
    slightly faster, but BDRate improved a bunch due to the new 
    implementation being more correct.
  * Made AVX2 SAD use SSE4.1 for cases where there isn't an 
    AVX2 implementation, speeding up SMP/AMP.
  Bugfixes
  * Fixed a bug in rate control where an int overflowed 
    after coding 2^31 bits (2Gb)
  * Fixed non-determinism intiles
  * Fixed chroma reconstruction bug in tiles
  * Fixed a bug with calculating the number of bits used for 
    intra mode on 4x4 CUs
  * Stopped checking zero motion vector multiple times in 
    motion compensation
  * Fixed possible segfault in motion compensation
  * Fixed a race condition with OWF and SMP/AMP
  * Gave pthread_cond_timedwait time in correctly, such that 
    main thread now sleeps instead of busylooping when it has 
    nothing to do
  * Fixed rate control with lp-gop
  * Fixed full search not taking temporal motion vector into 
    account
  * Allow non-gop-length intra period for lp-gop
  Code / Building / Testing
  * Moved SAO to it's own file
  * Removed a ton of unnecessary includes
  * Updated autotools ax_pthread
  * Added build test for OS-X for Travis
  * Made tests check for bitstream correctness
  * Refactored some of the copypasta in motion vector search 
    starting point selection
  * Refactored the cu_info_t datastructures to hold 
    information at a 4x4 resolution needed for AMP and SMP
  * Changed cu_info_t to use bitfields to negate the effect 
    of increasing the cu_info_t array by a factor of 4
  * Moved bitstream generation from encoderstate.c to 
    encode_coding_tree.c
  * Renamed encoder_state_t.global to frame, which makes 
    sense since it hold frame level data, not global data
  * Rewrote integer vector inter prediction, because it was 
    so bad
  * Refactored init_lcu_t
  * Added more tests for inter SAD
  * Added speed tests for dual intra SAD functions
  * Added more realistic speed tests for inter SAD
  Other
  * Added a manpage
  * Added scripts for updating manpage and README based on 
    --usage.
