Release V25.03

New and Changes in v25.03

• Update iVSR plugion to FFmpeg n7.1. Note the options setting of "dnn_processing" filter is updated.
• Enabled OpenVINO 2024.5 in the dockerfiles.
• Added support of Rocky linux 9.3.
• Enabled support of 10bit video in the iVSR FFmpeg plugin and SDK; SVP models updated to support 10bit video.
• Enabled async processing mode in iVSR SDK and its plugin.
• iVSR API performance improved by 3-4.5x (SVP-Basic model as inference workload), resulting in faster inference pipeline.
• New SVP Y models introduced with performance improvement (1.58x for SVP-Basic, 8x for SVP-SE, on 1 Flex170 card).

Bug Fixes

• Provided robust input resolution checking, and input options checking.
• Fixed segment fault issue in vsr_sample if the reshape_values have odd number.
• Fixed one random crash issue in infer_completion_callback() API.

Known Limitations/Issues

• If the model-guard protected model is loaded, it prints the following error messages. They can be ignored as its normal procedure for this kind of model files.
  
  [libprotobuf ERROR thirdparty/protobuf/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/text_format.cc:335] Error parsing text-format tensorflow.GraphDef: 1:2: Message type "tensorflow.GraphDef" has no field named "T".

• For Enhanced EDSR, or SVP models, some resolutions like 240x426/144x256/234x426/238x246/220x400 don't work with OpenVINO 2023.2. You can switch to OpenVINO 2024.5.
• GPU driver is not installed in the docker files for Rocky Linux 9.
• There is color shift for some green/yellow colors after processing with Enhanced EDSR model.
• Specifying "-vframes " in the ffmpeg command line to let pipeline exit before EOS, may cause core dump. You may remove this option, or specifying "nireq=1" option to dnn_processing filter to avoid it.
