v2.0.17

What's New

Added a new dithering option, blue noise. This is a good tradeoff between the regularity of ordered dithering and the crispness of error. Enable it using --dither blue (https://cv.ulichney.com/papers/1988-blue-noise.pdf).

Implemented and documented all the --pgm-xxx debug output options:

• --pgm now outputs actual encoded frames (what goes into the FLIM file)
• --pgm-poster outputs 128×86 poster thumbnails
• --pgm-diff outputs difference between encoded and source
• --pgm-change outputs difference between consecutive frames
• --pgm-target outputs target source images

Deprecated redundant command-line arguments: --out-pattern and --pgm-pattern (use --pgm), --diff-pattern (use --pgm-diff), --change-pattern (use --pgm-change), --target-pattern (use --pgm-target).
