What’s new in 1.2.0

Improved pattern + frame detection (prefix / numeric section / suffix) for more reliable auto-inference across all filename styles.

Added --width and --height for optional resizing (square when only one value is provided).

Added explicit end-frame control with --end now correctly limiting processed frames via -frames:v.

Upgraded stats output with clearer frame counts, durations, and file sizes.

HTML snippet refined with cleaner markup, better Safari/HEVC switching, and more consistent autoplay handling.

More robust FFmpeg/HEVC capability checks with clearer skip messaging.

A focused quality-of-life update improving inference, controls, and output consistency.

What’s new in 1.0.0

Added --help / -h flag with full usage and options.
Clearer error messages for:
- Missing PNG files in the input directory.
- Pattern detection failures (when filenames don't match [prefix][digits].png).
Improved quality controls:
- --webm-quality <1-100> now maps to a safe VP9 CRF range.
- --hevc-quality <1-100> now maps to a safe alpha_quality range.
Added derived animation duration to encoding stats (frames / fps).
Encoding stats now show human-readable times (e.g. 12.3s, 1m 05s, 2h 10m).
Generated preview is now a .txt file with a ready-to-paste HTML + JS snippet.
--quiet now suppresses progress bars and non-essential logs but still prints the final summary and stats.
Docs upgraded with installation, troubleshooting and workflow guidance.

This is the first stable release of @rethink-js/alpha-video-cli.
