(2020-12-4) [v2.0.0]
This is a major release with an updated and overhauled libvmaf API. The vmafossexec command line tool has been deprecated and replaced with the more flexible and powerful vmaf tool. For an introduction to the libvmaf v2.0.0 API as well as an explanation of the new vmaf tool, please see the following README files: libvmaf, vmaf. Also part of this release is a new fixed-point and x86 SIMD-optimized (AVX2, AVX-512) implementation that achieves ~2x speed up compared to the previous floating-point version.
