  - [bugfix] The OpenCV backend keeps `position` on the last frame after reaching the end of a VFR video, so the last scene no longer ends early (or before it starts) [#561](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/issues/561)
  - [bugfix] `save-html --no-images` now writes to the global `-o`/`--output` directory instead of the working directory [#583](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/pull/583)
  - [feature] `VideoStream` has a new `close()` method to release the file handles and decoders a video holds, and can be used as a context manager (`with open_video(path) as video:`) to close it automatically. Calling `close()` more than once has no effect. Once an OpenCV, PyAV, MoviePy or concatenated stream is closed, `read()`, `seek()` and `reset()` raise `ValueError`, while properties describing the video (`path`, `name`, `frame_rate`, `duration`, `frame_size`, `aspect_ratio`) remain available. The default implementation does nothing, so existing `VideoStream` subclasses are unaffected, and `VideoCaptureAdapter` leaves the caller's `VideoCapture` open [#568](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/issues/568)
- - [bugfix] `VideoStreamConcat` no longer keeps its input videos open when they can't be concatenated (e.g. mismatched resolutions), and now closes each input explicitly once it is no longer needed instead of relying on garbage collection [#568](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/issues/568)
