UPDATE: x265 3.5

Here is an update to x265 3.5.


Version 3.5
===========

Release date - 16th March, 2021.

New feature
-----------
1. Real-time VBV for ABR (Average BitRate) encodes in –pass 2 using :option:`--vbv-live-multi-pass`: Improves VBV compliance with no significant impact on coding efficiency.

Enhancements to existing features
---------------------------------
1. Improved hist-based scene cut algorithm: Reduces false positives by leveraging motion and scene transition info.
2. Support for RADL pictures at IDR scene cuts: Improves coding efficiency with no significant impact on performance.
3. Bidirectional scene cut aware Frame Quantizer Selection: Saves bits than forward masking with no noticeable perceptual quality difference.

API changes
-----------
1. Additions to x265_param structure to support the newly added features and encoder enhancements.
2. New x265_param options :option:`--min-vbv-fullness` and :option:`--max-vbv-fullness` to control min and max VBV fullness.

Bug fixes
---------
1. Incorrect VBV lookahead in :option:`--analysis-load` + :option:`--scale-factor`.
2. Encoder hang when VBV is used with slices.
3. QP spikes in the row-level VBV rate-control when WPP enabled.
4. Encoder crash in :option:`--abr-ladder`.
