- Adding conditional replenishment (CR) support to the system, so blocks which don't change their selectors or endpoints from the last frame don't need to be decoded. This can greatly increase the compression ratio on many video sequences.
- Updating help text.
- Adding support for slices to be marked as i-frames
- Updating transcoder to support CR
Increasing the max codebook size to 16K vs. 8K, for a major increase in the max achievable quality.
Adding exception catching to command line tool.
Enabling debug iterators on MSVC.
Refining command line options, adding "-individual" flag to create multiple .basis files (vs. a texture array).
Changing default colorspace to sRGB, because that's probably the best default. -linear disables this and uses linear colorspace metrics.
PNG reader in 32-bit builds checks the size of the file before loading to avoid out of memory exceptions.
Adding new fields to the basis header: texture type and framerate. Texture type may be 2D, 2D array, video, volume, or cubemap array. The compressor makes sure that anything other than pure 2D follows certain constraints (cubemap arrays must have a multiple of 6 input images, videos/texture array images all must have the same resolution/# of mipmaps, etc.)
When unpacking cubemaps, the -unpack command now writes cubemap .KTX files which various tools like PVRTexTool support.
Adding new GPU texture format decoders for BC1/4/5, ETC2 EAC alpha, and BC7 mode 6
Adding GPU texture unpack failure checks and warnings
Adding support for 3 color blocks to transcoder, and making sure that BC3 blocks will never use 3 color (punchthrough alpha) blocks.
