Show versions of encoders in release notes #15

Closed mikae1 closed 4 months ago

There was a lot of improvements for lossless JPEG XL encoding in version 0.10 of libjxl. Looking at the release notes for 0.9.7 of XL Converter I can’t tell if it uses libjxl 0.10 or later. It would be good if release notes for XL Converter showed encoder versions.

Hello,

Yes, the changelog will include a notice when the binaries get updated.

The current version uses 0.8.1. The development build features 0.10.1 with 0.10.2 being currently validated.

I would like to wait for the libjxl users to report new bugs as well as do my own testing before the update.

As for lossless improvements. 0.10.2 compared to 0.8.1 with the default Effort of 7 has a worse efficiency on screenshots and a tiny bit better on complex images. It is about the same.

The main difference is speed and RAM usage.
