Dear experts,

I have uploaded a new release of the JM reference software to my web site at:

http://iphome.hhi.de/suehring/tml/

This release contains another round of structural improvements and cleanups which allow more flexibility for software modifications along with a number of bug fixes. As always, see below for the detailed list of changes.

Please note that the names of some encoder parameters (especially for the deblocking filter) have changed.

The reference software manual has not been updated yet, but will be soon.

Best regards,
Karsten
