Special thanks again to Andrew, Andrea, and Terje for much work with the code and the manual. Hopefully, I did not forget to put all the changes into the release notes.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div style="font-size:small">************ <span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">December/January</span> Release Notes update ******************</div><div style="font-size:small"><u>Andrew R’s contributions:</u><br>Library x265 has been updated from 3.5 to snapshot of 17122023, with the name of 3.517122023.<br>Libaom has been updated from version 3.4.0 to 3.8.0. This new version requires cmake to be at least<br> at version 3.7.2 (compiled correctly on 32-bit Debian 9.1 with this cmake version). However, Ubuntu<br> 16 only has included cmake at version 3.5.1 so anyone doing their own builds will need to update<br> cmake or add “--enable-libaom=no” to the configure step and not compile libaom.<br>Updated libsndfile from 1.0.28 to 1.2.2. Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files<br> containing sampled sound through one standard library interface.<br>MAXCHANNELS is no longer limited to 6 and will allow for up to 32 in most cases.<br>New useful addition of codec sar/dar and container sar/dar to ffmpeg asset info in the Resources<br> Media detailed window when available.<br>Fixes for Free BSD version 14 build to include moved from python 38 to python39, switch up<br> to ffmpeg 6 from ffmpeg4, and correct build for OpenEXR.<br>Patches for ./blds/netbsd.bld to change to ffmpeg v6.<br>Bluray creation, specifically the bdcreate.C file, now includes additional creation options for 16x9<br> videos. A small display for non-standard progressive options has been fixed.<br>Add 32000 and 44100 khz sampling frequencies to pcm-dvd encoder and to mjpegtools/mplex.<br>Additional audio render formats for mp2 and dvd_pcm have been added.<br>The location of HiLo/LoHi settings is now consistent between info, requester, and encoder to make it<br> less confusing.<br>Limit number of OpenCV modules built for the 6 obj plugins since that is currently all that is used.<br>Local Vorbis render format parameters fixed to allow for modified values.<br>Add ffmpeg raw dv profiles just for testing purposes.<br>Update versioninfo.h for the new year of 2024.<br>Add internal documentation about ratio of the new canvas size (W, H) to the old previous canvas size<br> as well as a Note for the user to see in the Format window.<br>Set sample aspect ratio for encoded ffmpeg stream (except in some cases so not to impact dvd/bluray).<br>DV fix to handle 16x9 to avoid floating point rounding errors. DV improvement to add date and<br> timecode when encode rawdv. Remove unused define from filedv header file.<br><br><u>Discovery, Testing, and Mods by Andrea, Terje, and AndrewR</u><br>Libstvav1 is now added as a buildable option at version 1.8.0 but requires cmake 3.16 (although 3.12<br> seems to works). On the build configure line, add “enable-libsvtav1”. SVT-AV1 is an encoder<br> adopted by AOMedia as the basis for future development of AV1 and scales fairly well across many<br> CPU cores.<br>New render formats created by Andrea and Andrew are now available to use SVT – svt_av1.webm<br> and svt_av1.mkv.<br>When using the X11 graphics driver, Color3way, Histogram, and Videoscope and rgba-float color<br> model now allow you to display greater than 0 – 1.0f values to accommodate HDR. So there is no<br> clipping. See the Manual for details in those 3 sections.<br>New render formats of av1_vaapi.webm by Andrea, as well as image creations for hdr.hdr and<br> wbmp.wbmp are now available. These will require specific hardware and software to be usable on<br> your computer.<br>Add missing includes as discovered by Andrea of <array> and <fstream> for the newest distros such as<br> the rolling-release Arch in AppImage build tools.<br>Modified the bld.sh script to include comments for specific builds on the configure line.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
