NHW Project - a free state-of-the-art image/video compression codec

Hello,

Very quickly, for those interested, I have released the NHW v0.3.0-rc31 new version.

I continue to fine-tune the nhw_kernel weights.This new version has then more precision and a better visual quality.

Normally this new version gains that little extra precision, so normally at -q14 setting, NHW should have a competitive precision, while still keeping its neatness. From -q12 to -q8 settings, there is the psychovisual model, for now this model is optimized for neatness, and it is maybe not totally precision's best friend in its current state... So for now high compression in NHW has a good/competitive precision and very high compression puts more forward neatness...

Cheers,
Raphael
