--limit-sao not working on arch linux

[Former user]

Hi Team, when I start x265 using the option --limit-sao it says: 23:39:37 ~$ x265 --limit-sao x265: unrecognized option '--limit-sao' x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 2.3 x265 [info]: build info [Linux][GCC 6.3.1][64 bit] 8bit+10bit+12bit

I am using a 64 bit antergos Linux up to date with the latest release of x265 from arch repos.

23:44:12 ~$ uname -a Linux antergos-dell 4.10.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 31 16:50:19 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux 23:44:16 ~$ x265 --version x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 2.3 x265 [info]: build info [Linux][GCC 6.3.1][64 bit] 8bit+10bit+12bit x265 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX AVX2 FMA3 LZCNT BMI2

Are you running the latest tip of the default branch, or are you running release version 2.3? --limit-sao was pushed in after 2.3 was tagged so the release won't have this feature.

This feature will become available at the next release which we hope to tag in a few days

I am running the latest release version 2.3. This feature is already documented here: http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/cli.html#loop-filters

Best regards

Those are the release notes for the latest default tip, which is several commits ahead of the stable branch, where 2.3 was tagged. (The snapshot of the online docs at the latest stable tip is at http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html where the --limit-sao won't be found.)

I'd recommend building off the latest tip of the default branch to try --limit-sa
