PySceneDetect v0.3 [beta]

The first major release of PySceneDetect, including all major features and functions. See the new USAGE.md file for helpful tips on how to use the new detection modes, and for optimal threshold values to try.

Changes from CHANGELOG.md include:

• major release, includes improved detection algorithms and complete internal code refactor
• [feature] content-aware scene detection using HSV-colourspace based algorithm (use -d content)
• [enhance] added CLI flags to allow user changes to more algorithm properties
• [internal] re-implemented threshold-based scene detection algorithm under new interface
• [internal] major code refactor including standard detection algorithm interface and API

PySceneDetect v0.2.4 [alpha]

Bugfix with OpenCV version checking code - from the previous release, v0.2.3-alpha - for older versions of OpenCV (2.4 and older) on certain Linux distributions.

PySceneDetect v0.2.3 [alpha]

Bugfix so PySceneDetect works with the latest version of the OpenCV (3.0.0+) Python module while retaining compatibility with older versions. Note that although OpenCV is now at version 3, the Python module is still referenced as cv2.

PySceneDetect v0.2.2 [alpha]

Added statistics/analysis mode (-s) to generate a frame-by-frame analysis of a video (useful for finding appropriate values for scene detection parameters, and in preparation for content/adaptive detection methods), and bugfix for improper conversion of timecodes.

PySceneDetect v0.2.1 [alpha]

Added proper timecode formatting (in form HH:MM:SS.nnnnn), as well as generating a single comma-separated list in the output for easier importing into external tools (like mkvmerge).

PySceneDetect v0.2 [alpha]

PySceneDetect now shows a list of scenes in the terminal (you can specify a .CSV file to write to by specifying the -o / --output argument) by interpolating the timecodes/frame numbers between pairs of fades out and in.

PySceneDetect v0.1 [alpha]

Initial release of PySceneDetect. Includes threshold-based fade in/out detection for video files, currently displaying the result to the terminal.
