• Updated HandBrake core to 1.7.3.

• Added Catalan translation, thanks to david_canovas.
• Updated other translations.
• Fixed formatting.

• Updated from Clowd.Squirrel to Velopack installer
• Changed installer move to copy, since the .exe is considered a Velopack asset.
• Separated the update check and download statuses, and hooked up the download progress UI update.
• Updated Velopack version and moved Velopack run to app start to satisfy the validator.

• Added option to stop showing the encode progress in the Window title. This allows working around a Windows bug where the Alt-Tab switcher flickers on window title updates.
• Updated HandBrake core to latest master.

• Fixed issue that caused the main window mini-preview image to disappear.

First v9 Stable release, that brings all of the v9 Beta work over to the Stable track.

• HandBrake core changes:

  • Added AMD VCN AV1 encoder
  • Added NVIDIA NVENC AV1 encoder
  • Added support for SVT-AV1 multi-pass ABR mode
  • Full list of changes: https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases/tag/1.7.0

• Enabled NVDec hardware decoding, supported only when using an NVEnc encoder and with the right hardware.

• Added an option to remove the cap of 3 simultaneous NVEnc encodes. Only those that have custom NVidia drivers that remove the cap should choose this.

• Increased the maximum simultaneous encode setting cap to 16.

• Added log window virtualization. This should greatly reduce memory use and prevent hangs when using Extended logging.

• Added the option to use a polling folder watcher (Global options ➡️ Advanced ➡️ Watcher mode). This is a slower, less efficient way of detecting files in watched folders, but is a good option if you find the regular watcher is not functioning.

• Updated Global Options to immediately apply changes.

• Added shortcuts to the Encoding Settings and Picker windows from the Global Options window. It includes desriptions to help people find settings they are looking for.

• Added more checks around the file save dialog, retrying without an initial directory or file name when it fails. This fixes a potential crash on an invalid folders.

• Added a Picker ability to choose titles based on the width or height.

• Changed to delay the allow sleep operation until after the post-encode triggers have had a chance to execute. This should fix an issue where the system would sleep instead of shutting down as configured.

• Added option to restart on encode/queue complete.

• Removed restriction on setting another subtitle as Default when a track is burned in.

• Added "None" option for automatic audio track selection.

• Added checkbox in Global Options to quickly enable or disable auto-pause on process.

• Added "pause" and "resume" commands to VidCoderCLI.exe.

• When editing a queue item, the original preset name is now shown first, "Old preset - Restored from Queue" rather than just showing "Restored from Queue".

• A bunch of bug fixes

• Fixed issue where Deinterlace and Denoise presets would sometimes show as blank when switching encoding profiles.
• Fixed empty dropdowns when some video filters are not set.

• Updated translations for upcoming stable release.

• Updated HandBrake core to 1.7.2 to prepare for stable release

• Fixed crash when editing short preset names.
