Changes since beta.1

  • Source code published, with CONTRIBUTING.md and a Contributor License Agreement (CLA.md).
  • ARM64 build fixed for older cores: beta.1's ARM64 binary used ARMv8.2 instructions and could crash ("illegal instruction") on Cortex-A53/A57/A72 boards such as the Raspberry Pi 3/4 and Jetson Nano. This build targets generic ARMv8-A.
  • The codec and the bitstream are unchanged: streams from beta.1 decode identically.

The side-by-side comparison videos are attached to v0.1.0-beta.1.

Beta: the bitstream format may still change between beta versions. 8-bit 4:2:0 only; raw .vdwt streams (no MP4/MKV mapping yet); video only.
