    • 📜 Modify transcode-video to create "sparse" .log files by removing overwritten progress information, often making those files an order of magnitude (i.e. 10x) smaller. Via #213.
    • Replace code in transcode-video which used mkvpropedit or mp4track in a post-transcoding step to sanitize audio titles containing commas, with much simpler code leveraging a comma escaping mechanism only available in HandBrakeCLI version 1.0.0 or later.
    • 🛠 Fix bug in transcode-video where the level was not set when using the x264_10bit encoder.
    • ✂ Remove support the non-existent x265_16bit encoder in transcode-video. This might have been available last year in some development builds of HandBrakeCLI, but it's definitely not in any release.
