+# AnimeEnhancer 1.1.0 Beta 1
+
+This is the first public beta of the redesigned AnimeEnhancer interface and the new AnimeFlow motion engine.
+
+## What's new
+
+- New compact neon/anime interface with original project artwork
+- AnimeFlow 60 FPS experimental RIFE/ncnn Vulkan interpolation for RTX GPUs
+- Timestamp-paced presentation to avoid bursts of stale generated frames
+- Automatic passthrough for content that is already running at a high frame rate
+- Anime4K reconstruction remains active on interpolated frames
+- Lower-latency frame queues, scene-cut protection, and adaptive cadence
+- GPU selection, saturation, contrast, Stream Cleanup, Smooth Gradients, split view, LS FrameGen output, screenshots, and diagnostics
+- Fullscreen side notification, pointer-friendly browser controls, and a visible close control
+
+## Beta warning
+
+AnimeFlow is optional and experimental. Fast cuts, subtitles, hair, particles, and complex camera motion can still show temporary warping or uneven pacing. If a scene looks worse, turn AnimeFlow off; the normal Anime4K enhancement path is unchanged.
+
+Start with a 720p source at minimum. A clean 1080p source gives the best reconstruction.
+
+## Downloads
+
+- `AnimeEnhancer-1.1.0-beta.1-win-x64.zip` — portable version; extract and run, no installation required
+- `AnimeEnhancer-1.1.0-beta.1-x64.msi` — optional Windows installer
+- `SHA256SUMS.txt` — hashes for both packages
+
+Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning because the binaries are not commercially code-signed. Download only from this repository and verify the SHA-256 hash before running.

+`rife_native.cpp` is the small C ABI used by `RifeMotionEngine.cs`. The release DLL is built against the official [rife-ncnn-vulkan](https://github.com/nihui/rife-ncnn-vulkan) source with its recursive ncnn dependencies and Vulkan enabled.
+
+To reproduce the native DLL, clone rife-ncnn-vulkan recursively, copy `rife_native.cpp` into its `src` directory, and add a shared-library target containing `rife_native.cpp`, `rife.cpp`, and `warp.cpp`, linked to the same libraries as the upstream executable. The shipped model directory is `rife-v4.6`.

+The native runtime and model remain subject to their original third-party licenses; see `licenses/` and `docs/SOURCES.md`.
