I think this didn't yet got public announcements anywhere, so here goes, for whoever is interested.

CCLXV, a new H.265/HEVC encoder written from scratch, has been published on bitbucket yesterday, created by Prunedtree. It's open source, written in C++11 and licensed under GNU GPL v2.

The important thing to keep in mind is that it is not a production-grade, ready-to-use, competitive implementation.
For now, treat it like an experimental, testing, or alpha software (alpha in features, it should be stable according to author).

What is interesting about CCLXV (Roman numerals for 265 if you didn't get that, like me) is that is not based on HM like the other encoders, for example x265 (all three of them :3 ).
Testing is sort of limited to people who can compile the CLI application themselves, at this point...

Here is the repository: https://bitbucket.org/prunedtree/cclxv/overview

Note from the author: Anyone motivated to help is welcome! No skills needed (beyond the ability to build it :S).
Check the IRC channel #cclxv on irc.freenode.net in case of interest...
