 	API change: vs_vector_set() and vs_vector_set_dup() return
 	VS_OK/VS_ERROR and report the replaced element through a

+	Removed the transcode plugins and the vendored sse2neon.h shim.
+	Transcode is no longer maintained, and ARM has had native NEON

 	L1-optimal camera path (Grundmann et al., CVPR 2011) implemented and

 	instead of falling back to the gaussian filter.  No new config

 The vidstabdetect filter (in first pass) will generate a file with relative-translation and rotation-transform information about subsequent frames. This information will then be read by vidstabtransform filter (in second pass) to compensate for the jerky motions and produce a stable video output.
