vvenc-v1.13.1-rc1

• fix unaligned load/stores on ARM
• fix errors during library loading on old x86 CPUs associated with invalid instructions
• necessitate SSE 4.1 support for x86(_64) architectures
• fix rate control bug when using slice type adaptation (missing stats reduce accuracy)
• fix horizontal add in 32-bit Arm SIMD
• fix row/cols access in FGA

vvenc-v1.13.0

Over 1.12.1

• added various ARM optimization (thanks @georges-arm)
• added a DASH optimized decoder refresh mode (idr_no_radl)
• added a GOP adaptive QP cascade (only for non-QPA case, which already does it on GOP/frame/block level)
• improved rate control and QPA harmonization, especially for preset fast
• added experimental film grain analysis
• memory reductions for presets faster/fast/medium
• preset tuning
  • 5% speedup for medium and 2% for slow/slower
• other improvements, cleanups and fixes

Over 1.13.0-rc1

• removed gcc_s from link dependencies

vvenc-v1.12.1

• Set VUI flags conforming with DVB specs
• Allow controlling of some more VUI flags from command line

vvenc-v1.12.1-rc1

• Set VUI flags conforming with DVB specs
• Allow controlling of some more VUI flags from command line

vvenc-v1.12.0

• Added capped constant quality mode (CQF), enabled when setting fixed QP with QPA and a maximal rate constraint
• Added support for monochrome video in the simple app
• Added automatic setting of multi-threading options to improve scaling
  • will change results depending on the number of threads (on per default in the simple app, off in FF-app)
  • can be disabled using the mtprofile option
• Minor speedups to the faster preset (~5%)
