[x265] [ANN] x265 1.2 released

[Steve Borho]

Hello,

x265 release 1.2 was tagged today. This was a regularly scheduled
release with improvements in performance, major improvements in memory
usage, and improved psy-rd behavior.

There were a few of new options introduced:

--cu-stats, x265_param.bLogCuStats - enabling logging of CU stats

--hrd, x265.bEmitHRDSEI - enable HRD SEI signaling

--ipratio/--pbratio were exposed to the CLI

--lambda-file - allows experimentation with lambda tables

Plus a number of options added for multi-pass encoding (incomplete). I
will document those in the next release after the feature is complete.

Full documentation for the features supported in the release can be
found at http://x265.readthedocs.org/en/1.2/.
