Simple x264/x265 Launcher version history
-----------------------------------------
+Version 2.92 [2019-07-22]
+* Updated x264 to revision 2984 (API v158)
+* Fixed detection of VapourSynth R46
+* Note: Minimum supported VapourSynth version is R46 now!
+
Version 2.91 [2019-07-14]
* Updated x265 to version 3.1+2
* Updated build environment to Visual Studio 2019 with Update-1
* 64-Bit editions of Windows are highly recommended, though 32-Bit editions will work as well
* The CPU must support at least the MMX and SSE instruction sets
* Avisynth input only available with [Avisynth](http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Main_Page#Official_builds) **2.6** installed – Avisynth **2.5.x** is *not* recommended!
-* VapourSynth input only available with [VapourSynth](http://www.vapoursynth.com/) **r24+** installed – [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) is a prerequisite for VapourSynth!
+* VapourSynth input only available with [VapourSynth](http://www.vapoursynth.com/) **R46+** installed – [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) is a prerequisite for VapourSynth!
* YV16/YV24 color spaces require Avisynth 2.6 (see section 10)
**Note:** Most of these requirements are *not* imposed by Simple x264 Launcher itself, but by the encoders (e.g. x264 and x265) that we use.
## VapourSynth
-There now is a "portable" edition **VapourSynth** available, which *Simple x264/x265 Launcher* can use. For this purpose, download the "portable" edition VapourSynth an *extract* it into the sub-directory `extra\VapourSynth` inside of the Simple x264/x265 Launcher "main" directory (i.e. where the `x264_launcher.exe` file is located). More specifically, the *32-Bit* version of "portable" VapourSynth needs to go to the `extra\VapourSynth\core32` sub-directory and the *64-Bit* version needs to go to the `extra\VapourSynth\core64` sub-directory. Be aware, however, that "portable" VapourSynth requires **embeddable Python** to work! So, you *must* download Python as "embeddable zip file" from the Python web-site and extract that into the same sub-directory as the VapourSynth "portable" binaries. In the end, it should look like this:
