- New encoder: XAVC (Sony style AVC Intra). Currently only i-frame up to 1080p60 class 200 properly supported.
- New encoder: Generic MPEG1/2.
- New analyzer: Video metrics. Compare video quality using VMAF, SSIM and PSNR.
- Much improved internal priority control:
- “Max active jobs” are now per priority setting. Meaning if you have used all your job slots on lower priority jobs, higher priority jobs will still start.
- Child jobs like encoding now inherets the workflow priority ranging from 0 (idle) to 4 (very high). Meaning lower priority child jobs will be given less resources if higher priority jobs starts.
- Starting from this version, every time you save your workflow a time stamped copy will be stored in archive for later retrieval.
- All encoders now features separate audio channel mapping per track.
- The AviSynth deinterlace node now includes the world renowned QTGMC deinterlacer and BWDIF.
- The AviSynth resize node now includes NNEDI3 up-scaling. (Defaults to “Sinc” on down-scaling).
- Several database operations speed improvements.
- Slightly changed look and color scheme on nodes for improved visibility.
- Selected nodes can now be connected to any node. Makes connecting several nodes easier.
- Reintroduced and improved option for shutting down a complete FFAStrans farm.
- Added “Clear search” and “Set max list size” in the inbuilt status monitor app.
- The “A/V Media” decoder now supports forcing audio bit depth (16/24/32) and sample rate (48000/96000/192000).
- “YADIF” deinterlace filter no longer force 8 bit processing on 64bit systems.
- All windows now accept shortcut keys like ESC (close window), ENTER (OK) and F1 (help) where applicable.
- Added option to the “Custom AviSynth script” filter to skip script verification.
- The “YouTube” decoder now supports URLs as source inputs (submitted from API or the Workflow Manager).
- Error state can now be forced in the “Populate variables” by populating the “%s_error%” variable.
- Variables are now traversed in order to fetch variables within variables.
- Added %i_v_bit_depth% for bit depth of first valid video stream.
- Added option to use none linear seek in the “A/V Decoder”.
- The MP4 encoder now sets MPEG-4 part 14 flag as standard on mp4 files.
- Fixed a bug that caused jobs to hash crash when modifying the jobs workflow.
- When submitting files to host exceptioned workflows, FFAStrans could in some cases stop picking up new jobs.
- FFAStrans Workflow Manager could crash when deleting nodes on very large workflows.
- The GoPro monitor did not show correct progress when configured to check for growing files.
- Selecting “Default” preset in nodes now properly set default node values.
- Retry job did not properly re-use the stored workflow from previous job.
- Fixed several issues dealing with long file paths.
- Fixed a bug with “Forget missing files” monitor option not working correctly with sub-folders.
- Monitors, while running, did not correctly update user variables/statics upon changes.
- Fixed a memory leak in the “Insert media” filter.
- Fixed a bug that caused the “Folder” delivery node to fail if output path contained some very unusual characters.
- Fixed a crash when trying to browse FTP-paths.
- Fixed bug that sometimes caused crash in FTP monitor.
- Child processes in a job did not always close properly.
- Fixed a bug that could cause monitors to go into loop when picking up very long file path.
- Disabled nodes was not displayed correctly.
- Pausing a job did not always cause all child processes to be suspended.
- Selecting “AVI” in the uncompressed encoder did not work.
- Selecting workflow properties other than the one displayed in the editor did not work.
- The tray option in the Workflow Manager did not work properly.
- The “Interlaced input” option in DVD encoder did not work with variables.
- Fixed and removed some unneeded excessive logging in the API and queue manager.
- + Lots of other minor changes, improvements and bug fixes.
