[News] Further Expansion of the New Image Upscaling Pipeline

In the next update, the new batch image upscaling pipeline, previously limited to Waifu2x-NCNN-Vulkan, will be expanded to support more engines:

Real-ESRGAN-NCNN-Vulkan

Real-CUGAN-NCNN-Vulkan

SRMD-NCNN-Vulkan

Anime4K

RealSR-NCNN-Vulkan

This release also includes several bug fixes and further optimizations.

The new pipeline will be optional in the next stable update. You can disable it at any time, and Waifu2x will fall back to the legacy pipeline.

Waifu2x will notify you about the new pipeline when you first update to the new version.

Thank you for supporting this project! ❤️❤️❤️

Clarification: This pipeline update only applies to batch image upscaling (such as processing a large batch of pictures). It has no impact on Video or GIF performance, as those rely on an entirely separate pipeline.
