AviSynth 2.6.0 Alpha5 [Sep 18th, 2013]

[vcmohan]

Isn't it time to make the alpha version into a Beta if not a release. I found that I had to alter my display threads to 45 days to get to this thread. Because of the long gap in postings I presume that the development has sufficiently matured for a release. Any minor patches can be released later.

I think the development has ceased or is at least dormant.

You could subscribe to the thread and get isntant emails. Granted, they won't always be about IanB posting anything, but rather anyone posting.
Given that it's been more >=45 days before anyone has posted and you had to change your forum settings, subscription would be more conventional.

Although we're coming on up the 1 year anniversary for this version, it's still pretty impressive all the updates we've gotten recently. The longest we've gone without an update was close to 2 years (http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth_Alpha_Releases/).

I'm hoping it's just dormant. Where so many other freeware editing products fail, AVS is the one that leaves a pretty big shoe for everyone else to fill up.
I'd hate to see the day that AVS becomes a memory and an underground tool spoken only as bedtime stories.
Techonology advances, but never so accurately as Avisynth. I weep for those who praise commercial industries as leading technological conglomerates with their fancy "in-house" algorithms for upscaling, color-correcting and interpolating. They merely dance in the footprints of the full potential of what can be developed here.

I say, don't let this all end in as a dream. :(

Only IanB can lead this dream to a new stage. I hope he will be back soon.

I have ported some of my plugins to 2.6 version and are available on my page for down loading. Any feed back is welcome.

Wow, you updated quite a bit of plugins. Thanks vcmohan!

@vcmohan,

Could you include source files like Planar_2_5_or_2_6.cpp, the header files and the project files in your packages (AdaptiveMedian_src.zip for example), so we can build them too? Are the sources public domain?

edit: typo

[vcmohan]

All source files for the plugins which have 2.6 version are now included. As I have compiled with VC++6, will the project files be useful ? If they will be useful then I will add them also.

[Wilbert]

Thanks for the inclusion! The project files are not useful to me, so i will leave it up to you to include them or not.

I wonder what will happen now that two prime source filters for Avisynth appear to be dead, FFMS2 and L-SMASH Works? Even if they aren't dead, they might as well be if you can't download them! Because they rely on decoders, you could literally continually have update from them even if the source part hasn't been updated.

Only IanB can lead this dream to a new stage. I hope he will be back soon. He could also return the licensing for his contributions to the original license so that others may carry on the work.

is this link for avisynth2.6 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth_Alpha_Releases/AVS%202.6.0%20Alpha%205%20%5B130918%5D/AviSynth_130918.exe/download) correct and latest? When I tried to install it it wants avisynth2.5 folder.

VCMohan,
That is I think from the the correct link however it is the auto download page for the executable, you should have pointed to its parent,
here :http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth_Alpha_Releases/
Where it is the AVS 2.6.0 Alpha 5 [130918] file.

Avisynth 2.6A5 (as previous 2.6 Alpha's) all still use an "AviSynth 2.5" folder.
