 ## 📜 Version History
 
-[v1.17 changes:](https://github.com/Nenotriple/R-ESRGAN-AnimeVideo-UI/releases/tag/v1.16)
-
-- New:
-  - A terminal window now opens with the app to display various info/errors etc.
-    - This is really helpful during the initial startup while downloading files, and checking previous completed processes, etc.
-  - An [hstack][hstack] video is now created during the "Create Sample" process.
-  - You can now set an audio bitrate.
-  - You can now enter an exact audio or video bitrate value.
-  -  New preset for Audio/Video Bitrate options, `Auto From Source`.
-     - Regular "Auto" mode allows FFmpeg to choose a bitrate when merging. This generally results in lower quality video and audio.
-     - When you select "Auto From Source" for "Video Bitrate", it will use source video bitrate and add 1500.
-     - When you select "Auto From Source" for "Audio Bitrate", it will use the source audio bitrate.
-  - `Batch Resize Image` Added to the "Image" tab. From here you can select a folder and resize images to any resolution.
-    - There's also an option to resize a single image.
-  - You can now define a start time for creating the preview sample,
-  - Output videos are now encoded with a keyframe every 10 video frames. This results in much smoother seeking. but larger file size.
-  - You can now skip the upscale process. This is useful if you just want to resize a video
