Updated Windows version

Previously archives contained an outdated exe for Windows. Now it's the latest version.

Updated rav1e

Fixes xiph/rav1e#2757

Much faster

I've fine-tuned rav1e low-level settings, so now you get much better compression-to-speed ratio.

Full color range

Firefox doesn't have a problem with full color range any more, so the encoder uses it for slightly better quality.

Compatibility improvements

v1.1.1

Compat fixes

Minor bugfixes

v0.6.6

Update deps

Updated rav1e

Updated to the latest rav1e version, which brings speed and quality improvements.

Nicer command-line interface

New argument parser should have nicer error handling.

Faster encoding

It turns out you can just ask rav1e to run faster, and it will! (with no loss of compression quality)

The first zip link below contains exe for macOS, Windows and Debian.

Now with pipes!

Latest release adds support for stdin/stdout pipes, so you can combine it with other programs without a need for temporary files.

For example, to make AVIF from ImageMagick:

convert -resize 50% example.jpg PNG:- | cavif - | cat > example.avif

That - at the end tells cavif to read image from stdin. cat here is only to demonstrate that both stdin and stdout are used.
