+## [0.11.0](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/releases/tag/0.11.0)
+
+Saturday, July 16, 2022
+
+* Modify `other-transcode` to copy 10-bit high-dynamic-range (HDR10) metadata, extracting content light level and mastering display metadata from a HDR10 video frame input and tagging a 10-bit video stream output in Matroska (MKV) format with that information. This will also copy static HDR10 metadata from Dolby Vision and HDR10+ video streams but it will _not_ copy additional dynamic metadata from those formats.
+* Add a `--overlay-params` option to `other-transcode` to override the `overlay` filter configuration applied when burning subtitles. This is useful when cropping to move a subtitle within the output boundary.
+* Add a `--fdk-vbr` option to `other-transcode` to set the numeric variable bitrate (VBR) mode for the Fraunhofer `libfdk_aac` audio encoder, disabling constant bitrate (CBR) ratecontrol. VBR mode `1` selects the lowest quality and `5` the highest. Please note that the `libfdk_aac` encoder is not normally included with `ffmpeg` due to licensing restrictions and the `--fdk-vbr` option has no effect if that encoder is not available. Via [ #127](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/issues/127).

+## [0.10.0](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/releases/tag/0.10.0)
+
+Thursday, January 27, 2022
+
+* Add a `--nvenc-gpu-only` option to `other-transcode` to keep data on the GPU for greater speed, if possible. Deinterlacing is allowed but cropping, scaling, detelecining, setting frame rates and burning subtitles will prevent this from working and may actually slow things down. Performance can also be affected negatively depending on PC configuration. Please note that the `--nvenc-gpu-only` option requires `ffmpeg` version 5.0 or later.
+* Add a `--x264-cbr` option to `other-transcode` to simplify access to constant bitrate (CBR) ratecontrol. Despite the name, actual output bitrates from the `x264` encoder are variable and below what might be expected. So, default video bitrate targets are raised to accommodate this.
+* Enable proper crop detection in `other-transcode` for 4K UHD Blu-ray rips and other media with a 10-bit color depth. This was done by changing the `limit` value passed to the `cropdetect` filter from an integer constant to a floating point equation. Via [ #52](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/issues/52).
+* Modify `other-transcode` to add a workaround for the mapping of BT.470 M and BT.470 BG color transfer characteristics from values returned from `ffprobe` to values actually used by `ffmpeg`. Via [ #112](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/issues/112).
+* Modify `other-transcode` to allow parentheses within the argument to the `--yadif-params`, `--x264-params` and `--x265-params` options. Via [ #119](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/issues/119).
+* Modify `ask-ffmpeg-log` to fix detection of frame counts less than five digits within `.log` files from very short duration videos. Via [ #126](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/issues/126).
+* Modify `ask-ffmpeg-log` to fix detection of statistics within `.log` files not generated by `other-transcode`.
+* Remove the deprecated `--nvenc-rc-mode` and `--aac-stereo` options from `other-transcode`.
+* Update all copyright notices to the year 2022.

+## [0.9.0](https://github.com/donmelton/other_video_transcoding/releases/tag/0.9.0)
+
+Saturday, June 5, 2021
+
+Nvidia encoders:
+
+* Add a `--nvenc-recommended` option to `other-transcode` which easily and optimally configures the Nvidia H.264 and HEVC video encoders, equivalent to using:
+    * `--nvenc-spatial-aq --nvenc-lookahead 32 --nvenc-bframe-refs middle`
+* The `--nvenc-bframe-refs` option is also new and using `middle` as its argument increases compression efficiency. However, it's not supported on all Nvidia hardware. Which means, neither is the `--nvenc-recommended` option.
+* So, using `--nvenc-recommended` for H.264 encoding requires at minimum a fourth generation Pascal-based GPU like the GTX 1080. And using it for HEVC encoding requires at minimum a more recent sixth generation Turing-based model like the GTX 1660 or RTX 2070.
+* Add a `--nvenc-cq` option to `other-transcode` to allow constant quality (CQ) ratecontrol. This option ignores the target video bitrate and takes a single numerical argument between `1` and `51` with lower values indicating higher quality. However, only values between `25` and `30` are really practical for 1080p content. It's recommended to start with `--nvenc-cq 28` and adjust as needed. Fractional values are also supported.
+* While CQ ratecontrol can adapt better to extremely dynamic content compared to the default average bitrate (ABR) ratecontrol system, the output bitrates produced by CQ can vary significantly and it can be slightly more prone to color banding with the H.264 encoder. So, for now, consider the `--nvenc-cq` option an experimental feature.
+* Deprecate the `--nvenc-rc-mode` option in `other-transcode` because maximum rate and buffer size values are already specified so an explicit ratecontrol mode is not required.
+
+Audio:
+
+* Modify `other-transcode` to no longer explicitly set audio bitrates and instead rely on the defaults from the audio encoders included with `ffmpeg`. This is being done to both simplify the code in `other-transcode` and to leverage the judgement of the audio encoder developers, which means:
+    * AC-3 surround audio is lowered from 640 Kbps to 448 Kbps.
+    * Dolby Digital Plus (Enhanced AC-3) surround audio is raised from 384 Kbps to 448 Kbps.
+    * AAC stereo audio is lowered from 256 Kbps to 128 Kbps when using the native `ffmpeg` or Apple AudioToolbox encoders.
+* If desired, use the `--surround-bitrate` and `--stereo-bitrate` options to restore the previous default audio bitrates.
+* Add a `--aac-only` option to `other-transcode` to force transcoding of all audio into AAC format, copying only tracks which are already in that format. Surround tracks are converted to a 5.1-channel AAC format at 341 Kbps when using the native `ffmpeg` encoder. This channel layout is compatible with most playback devices. Allowing more than 5.1 channels would significantly reduce playback compatibility.
+* Deprecate the `--aac-stereo` option in `other-transcode` and replace with a new `--eac3-aac` option, which uses Dolby Digital Plus format only for surround audio with AAC format for stereo audio. Since the `--aac-stereo` option only made sense when used in combination with the `--eac3` option, this makes `--eac3-aac` more convenient.
+
+Other changes:
+
+* Change the default ratecontrol maximum rate and buffer size values in `other-transcode`, as well as how those values increased when the target video bitrate is increased. The default values now also differ depending on whether the output video is in H.264 or HEVC format.
+* Modify the `--rc-maxrate` and `--rc-bufsize` options in `other-transcode` to allow specific bitrates as arguments and not just multiples of the video bitrate target. These options are most useful for lowering maximum rate and buffer size values. To raise those values, increase the target video bitrate instead.
+* Change the pixel format and force a Main 10 video profile in `other-transcode` when using the Apple VideoToolbox encoder to create output with a 10-bit color depth. Correct generation of 10-bit output requires macOS Big Sur or later.
+* Modify `other-transcode` to copy the three basic color properties (primaries, transer and space) from the input to the output when those properties are availabe. Otherwise use some sensible defaults.
+* Modify `other-transcode` to force a H.264 level when using `--x264` with slower presets. This ensures that the `x264` encoder continues to generate a video stream compatible with most playback devices when those presets are used.
+* Modify `other-transcode` to remove the hack which avoids using the Matroksa muxer `-disposition` option in old versions of `ffmpeg`. This means version 4.3 or later of `ffmpeg` is now required to run `other-transcode`.

 * Lower the default target bitrates for 8-bit HEVC video in `other-transcode` to match the defaults for 10-bit HEVC video. This means, for example, the default target for HEVC at a 1080p resolution will be 6000 Kbps no matter the output bit depth.
 * Modify `other-transcode` to set the video buffer size equal to the maximum video bitrate when using an Nvidia encoder, essentially adding `--rc-bufsize 3` to the command line. Previously the buffer size was never explicitly set so `ffmpeg` would use a default value of twice the target bitrate. Since the maximum bitrate is normally three times the target bitrate this meant the buffer size was actually smaller than the maximum. While this didn't cause any known problems, Nvidia recommends a larger buffer size to improve quality. However, using `--rc-bufsize 0` will restore the old behavior and the default value from `ffmpeg`.
 * Ignore the `--nvenc-lookahead` option in `other-transcode` when the argument is `0` since such a value won't change the behavior of an Nvidia encoder anyway.
-* Add a `--limit-ac3-surround` option to `other-transcode` which prevents surround audio in AC-3 or Dolby Digital Plus (Enhanced AC-3) format from being copied instead of transcoded when the orginal bitrate is above the transcoding bitrate. This allows setting a lower target with the `--surround-bitrate` option in order to force higher-bitrate tracks to be transcoded instead of copied. 
+* Add a `--limit-ac3-surround` option to `other-transcode` which prevents surround audio in AC-3 or Dolby Digital Plus (Enhanced AC-3) format from being copied instead of transcoded when the orginal bitrate is above the transcoding bitrate. This allows setting a lower target with the `--surround-bitrate` option in order to force higher-bitrate tracks to be transcoded instead of copied.
 * Reduce the minimum bitrates for Dolby Digital Plus audio in `other-transcode` from 256, 128 and 64 Kbps for surround, stereo and mono layouts to 192, 96 and 48 Kbps. The default bitrates for Dolby Digital Plus audio remain the same and this change does not affect audio output in AC-3 or AAC formats.
