NEWS file for HandBrake <http://handbrake.fr/>
+Changes between 0.9.9 and 0.10
+
+ Core
+ - Intel QuickSync Video Encode / Decode support.
+ Windows only currently. We hope to bring this to Linux user in the future.
+ - DXVA Hardware Decode support (Experimental)
+ Windows Only.
+ Suitable only for slower machines so disabled in preferences by default.
+ - Choice of Scalers
+ Lanczos
+ HandBrakes? default scaler.
+ Bicubic (OpenCL) (Experimental)
+ Currently only available in OpenCL form so requires a AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later. Nvidia GPU's are not currently supported.
+ When downscaling, up to 5% performance improvement can be achieved. No benefit when not down-scaling.
+ Small loss in quality over the Lanczos scaler.
+ - Denoise
+ hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for both chroma channels (Cr, Cb)
+ New NlMeans? denoiser. This is very slow, but results are significantly better than hqdn3d.
+ - Presets
+ Added Windows Phone 8 Preset
+ - Updated Libraries
+ x264 r2431-ac76440
+ Libav v10.1
+ libbluray 0.5.0
+ - Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv
+ "Large File Size" checkbox has now bee removed for mp4, as the new muxer will transition to 64bit files automatically.
+ mp4v2 and libmkv options have now been removed.
+ mpeg2dec has also been replaced in favour of using libav
+ - The LibAV AAC encoder is now the default as FAAC has been removed.
+ This encoder is adequate for most, but until it improves a bit further, we have enabled support for the FDK-AAC encoder also.
+ This FDK option is a temporary measure until the LibAV encoder improves.
+ Note that FDK-AAC is much slower and will likely bottleneck the encode process, but will produce better quality audio.
+ - H.265 encoder (Experimental - available when compiled from source with --enable-x265)
+ Early build of the new x265 encoder. Enabled on Windows only currently. (Mac / Linux builds will have it enabled shortly)
+ Currently still some way off being ready for prime time. Useful for testing only at this stage.
+ - Added VP8 Encoder (using libvpx)
+ Available in MKV files only.
+ - Removed mcdeint deinterlace and decomb modes. This relied on the snow encoder in libav which has been was removed by upstream.
+ - Bug fixes and Misc Improvements
+
+ Windows
+ - Accessibility / Usability Improvements
+ Added option to 'Use System Colors'. The app should now be usable in a High Contrast mode.
+ Fixed Tab ordering to make the app more keyboard friendly.
+ - LibHB is now used for scanning instead of the CLI.
+ - Improved the layout and design of the Audio and Subtitle tabs.
+ Split buttons similar to the old 0.9.8 WinForms? GUI
+ Improved layout on the track listbox to make better use of the space.
+ - Improvements to Auto-Naming feature.
+ - When Done
+ Added an option that will reset this to 'Do nothing' when the app is closed and restarted.
+ - Presets
+ New 'Presets' Menu
+ Presets bar can now be hidden if it's not wanted.
+ - Numerous bug fixes
+ Fixed the Issue in the source dropdown where the drive menu items did not work when clicked.
+ Numerous fixes in the Picture settings panel around resolution calculation.
+ Numerous fixes around the way Presets are loaded and saved, particularly around Picture settings.
+ Removed Growl for Windows support due to bugs and issues with this library that remain unfixed. Project appears abandoned.
+ Many misc other fixes.
+ - Windows XP is no longer supported. Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or later is now a requirement.
+
+ Mac
+ - Build system updates to compiled under OS X 10.9
+ - Automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviours which can be stored per preset.
+ - Improvements to Auto-Naming feature.
+ - Misc UI enhancements.
+ - Bug fixes and Misc Improvements
+
+ Linux
+ - Automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviours which can be stored per preset.
+ - Improvements to Auto-Naming feature.
+ - Batch Add to queue by list selection.
+ - Russian and Czech Translations
+ - Bug fixes and Misc Improvements
+ - Requires GTK3
+
+ Command Line Interface
+ - Basic support for return codes from the CLI. (0 = No Error, 1 = Cancelled, 2 = Invalid Input, 3 = Initialization error, 4 = Unknown Error")
+ - Bug fixes and Misc Improvements
