     This is not used by any of the helper functions, you must specifically use it while setting up a new decoder. The `OtsuLevelBinarizer` is not well tested and it does *not* pass the current test suite. Consider this only if you know why you would want to use it. In many cases, the standard binarizer is likely better. If you have a very specific use case, and you know what your incoming data will resemble, you should consider implementing your own `Binarizer` and using that instead.

 ## Latest Release Notes
+* *v0.8.5* -> DX Film Edge Support added (decode only). Also adds several enhancements to performance and memory.
+
+    The default character encoding backend has changed to the more modern `encoding_rs`. This should bring some slight
+    performance improvements and better tracking of modern fixes and new encodings. All test currently pass without 
+    issue using the new backend, but if you encounter any issues please change back to the legacy backend using the

 * *v0.6.1* -> Initial support for immutable symbol readers. Fixed an issue with the rss_expanded reader.
 
     Immutable readers: Many 2d readers now implement the `ImmutableReader` trait. This allows them to be called using the
