Build Highlights:

1. HEVC Update:
   

   Another commit that fixes the hevc cache issue (horizontal lines in Sintel 720p) and a commit: "Option to parallelise coefficient decode and inter prediction and deblock for each frame"
   which may improve performance.
   
   I believe heap corruption [GPU Mem free] was fixed in previous update.
   
   The Sintel 1080p artifacts we used to have were dangerous - incorrect scaling meant we were writing beyond end of image buffers, and that caused relocatable heap corruption.
   
   The Sintel 720p lines were actually harmless (although ugly). We were just using stale pixels from the cache, rather then the newly computed (by GPU) ones.
   
   Peter finally found the missing place where a cache flush was required which has fixed the lines.

   There is a known issue that causes some files to appear thus:
   
   The screenshot is from Big Buck Bunny 720p (bbb_720p_c.ts). Hopefully this issue will be fixed in tomorrow's build.
