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).

Added --anchor-x and --anchor-y options to flimmaker to control the crop window. See README.md for details.

v2.0.12

What's New?

This is a consolidation release. Not all the code was in sync with the repository content, and the code of the XCMD was diverging from the MacFlim player codebase.

Everything is now completely automated, so hopefully I'll be able to do more regular updates.

Also, binaries now know what version they are. Use flimmaker --version to check version, or the about panel of MacFlim.
