Fixes numerous sources previously unreadable or otherwise broken
Facilitates a number of the improvements and features in this release and planned for the future

Removed deprecated Legacy presets:

Changelog

All platforms

General

    The HandBrake engine is now 10 and 12bit capable. Please note that not all filters support 10 and 12 bits. Using an 8bit filter will cause the pipeline to run at 8bit. Please see the documentation for more information.
    HDR10 metadata will be passed through from the source file if present.
    Static Previews that are generated during file scans are now stored in compressed jpeg format (previously stored as YUV420). Temporary disk space usage and disk writes are massively reduced. This uses libjpeg-turbo

Filters

    New Filter: Chroma Smooth
    New Filter: Colourspace Selection.
    New Filter: Support for QuickSync hardware accelerated Crop/Scale when using full path.

Hardware Encoding

    New Encoder: Media Foundation
        For Windows based ARM64 devices powered by Qualcomm Chipsets.
    Updates to the AMD VCN encoder:
        Quality tuning for VCN's constrained vbr rate control mode. Results are the same or better than cqp mode, and bit rate is much more predictable.
        Included optimised H265 presets for 1080p and 4K content.
    Updates to the Intel QuickSync encoder:
        Minor performance improvement by skipping VFR and Crop/Scale filters when they are not required.
        Overhauled memory management including improved zero-copy support where software filters are not used which should also improve performance.

Audio

    MP2 Audio Passthru support.

Subtitles

    New General purpose subtitle decoder
        Added support for DVB Subtitles (Passthru and Burn-In)

    The "Dimensions" tab has been redesigned.
        The Rotate and Flip filter has been moved from the filters tab.
        Added support for padding
        Added support to control the resolution limit.
        Added limited support for upscaling

Linux

    Minor usability tweaks and fixes.
    Updated translations (levels of completeness vary)

Mac

    Support for Apple Silicon (macOS only)
    Support for running multiple simultaneous jobs.
    Support eyetv packages with .ts enclosed media file
    Improved UI navigation
        Added two menu items to quickly switch between titles
        Improved undo/redo support

    Improved Security Scoped Bookmarks management
    Minor improvements and fixes for macOS 11
    Updated Sparkle Updater library.
    Updated translations (levels of completeness vary)

Windows

    Please note, the Windows UI now requires "Microsoft .NET 5 Desktop Runtime"
    Windows 10 is now the minimum version supported. The app will still run on Windows 7 and 8.1 however you will receive a message noting that it is not supported (twice) after which it will continue to run. Please note some functionality may not work correctly on these older operating systems and no support will be provided.
    Process Isolation
        When enabled, any encodes that are started are run under a separate "handbrake.worker.exe" process.
        This protects the main UI from any crashes that could occur whilst processing a file and allows the queue to continue.
        Multiple jobs can be run simultaneously to improve CPU utilisation on high core count systems.
    Audio Tab
        Minor improvement to the usability of auto-passthru. To prevent confusion, the "auto-passhtru" audio "encoder" option is now only available on the defaults screen and not the main audio tab.
    Queue Improvements
        Restored lost "Stop" functionality in the new queue design that landed in 1.3.
    Presets
        The legacy preset side panel has been removed. The presets button on the toolbar will now offer a "preset manager" and list the available for selection.
        The inline-preset view from 1.3 is now permanent.
    Installer Improvements
        Existing NSIS installer: Option to create a shortcut for "all users" as the last step.
    Preference Updates:
        New Auto Name option: Always use the default path for each new source / title selected
        "Send File To" Arguments now supports "{source}" and "{destination}" replacement placeholders.
        Added a preference to configure the "Pause on Low Battery" feature.
        Check for Updates is now "opt-in" for new installs.
    UI Performance: Optimisations to allow better performance when handling large sets of files (1000+)
    Updated translations (levels of completeness vary)
    Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements
