2.41

• Optimize worker count benchmarks to more safely address CPU/RAM oversaturation.
• Reimplement zones.txt for scene based encoding settings for auto-boost mode, coming soon to av1an single pass mode.

2.4

• Auto-Boost-Av1an Portable can notify your phone when encoding is complete via the ntfy app
• Added extras\Inviska MKV Extract
• Files can now be added to video-input during encoding, workflow will rescan after each av1 encode

2.3

• Add progress percent to scene detection.
• Optimize av1an cpu and ssim2 worker count to more accurately prevent oversaturating the cpu/gpu.
• Add custom benchmark: bat-builder will now ask if you want to perform a worker count test benchmark to optimize for the svt-av1 preset and filtering of that specific script. This is highly recommended due to different svt-av1 fork settings and filters using different amounts of cpu/ram/gpu.

2.27

• Updated bundled SVT-AV1 fork builds (svt-av1-hdr and svt-av1-psy 5fish) to their latest versions
• Improved mkv tagging: omits system specific cpu settings
• bat-builder: added guidance for choosing svt-av1-hdr presets
• extras\photon-film-grain-test artifacts are now kept in a temp folder

2.26

• Update vs-zip to 19.0.0 for performance increase in cpu based SSIM2 metrics
• Adjust svt-av1 setting defaults for bat builder, add --luminance-qp-bias to address bit starving in dark scenes
• Adjust defaults for extras\photon-film-grain-test.bat

v2.25

• Added JMkvpropedit, can be used to edit mkv track titles/properties without remuxing
• Photon-film-grain-test.bat can now perform photon-noise or film-grain testing with custom ranges
• Audio encoding scripts will now optionally carryover track titles

v2.24

• vship updated to 5.0.2.
• Active filters are displayed during encoding.
• extras\vspreview will lanczos resize source video to align with av1 encode if resolution differs.
• Added settings.txt support to av1an mode for filtering.
• Add warning if path+filename exceed Windows 260 character limit.
• Updated extras\photon-noise-test to use svt-av1-essential built-in photon noise.
• Remove parentheses from input video filenames to be python safe.

v2.23

• svt-av1-essential: tweaked defaults, restored distortion setting to bat-builder.

v2.22

• If FFVship fails, Auto-Boost now tries the vs-hip fallback automatically.
This can help an encode continue instead of stopping right away.
• Added a clear message when this happens:
"FFVship failed, using vs-hip fallback"
• Added a small test to help make sure the FFVship fallback stays working in future updates.

v2.21

What's Changed

• auto crop implementation rewrite and code cleanup
• av1an photon noise defaults to 0 since svt-av1 forks now have photon noise built in
