Slicer release 21092100

October 1st, 2021

Fixes:

VOD frame rate observer was inserting a discontinuity at the start of slicing when frame rate didn't really change.
Liveslicer advanced audio routing was not generating dolby tracks automatically.
Liveslicer advanced audio routing mono tracks were being up-mixed to left channel only.
Liveslicer was down-mixing dolby audio tracks to stereo prematurely.
Improves handling of some VOD sources having invalid packet duration on the 1st audio packet.

Enables:

Advanced audio routing feature parity between Liveslicer and VOD Slicer.

Other changes:

Added security safeguards to the slicer slicebot. Features vulnerable to attack are disabled by default and must be re-enabled explicitly.

Affected features include: hook_modules, start_url, done_url, fail_url, done_directory, fail_directory.

Prerequisites:

Due to the slicer being built on CentOS 7 it picks up a new library dependency on libnl-3.200, which is not included in the base install of Ubuntu 18.04. You may need to pre-install it: sudo apt install libnl-3-200
Nvidia driver 418 or later is required for HEVC 4K HDR/SDR.
Due to CentOS 6 reaching EOL in November 2020 this slicer release requires CentOS 7 or newer.
