- 12/17/2015: version 0.5.0
* miscellaneous bug & build fixes (issues #234, #258, #274, #275, #278)
* encoder & decoder speed-ups on x86/ARM/MIPS for lossy & lossless
- note! YUV->RGB conversion was sped-up, but the results will be slightly
different from previous releases
* various lossless encoder improvements
* gif2webp improvements, -min_size option added
* tools fully support input from stdin and output to stdout (issue #168)
* New WebPAnimEncoder API for creating animations
* New WebPAnimDecoder API for decoding animations
* other API changes:
- libwebp:
WebPPictureSmartARGBToYUVA() (-pre 4 in cwebp)
WebPConfig::exact (-exact in cwebp; -alpha_cleanup is now the default)
WebPConfig::near_lossless (-near_lossless in cwebp)
WebPFree() (free'ing webp allocated memory in other languages)
WebPConfigLosslessPreset()
WebPMemoryWriterClear()
- libwebpdemux: removed experimental fragment related fields and functions
- libwebpmux: WebPMuxSetCanvasSize()
* new libwebpextras library with some uncommon import functions:
WebPImportGray/WebPImportRGB565/WebPImportRGB4444
- 10/15/15: version 0.4.4
This is a binary compatible release.
* rescaling out-of-bounds read fix (issue #254)
* various build fixes and improvements (issues #253, #259, #262, #267, #268)
* container documentation update
* gif2webp transparency fix (issue #245)
- 3/3/15: version 0.4.3
This is a binary compatible release.
* Android / gcc / iOS / MSVS build fixes and improvements
* lossless decode fix (issue #239 -- since 0.4.0)
* documentation / vwebp updates for animation
* multi-threading fix (issue #234)
- 10/13/14: version 0.4.2
This is a binary compatible release.
* Android / gcc build fixes
* (Windows) fix reading from stdin and writing to stdout
* gif2webp: miscellaneous fixes
* fix 'alpha-leak' with lossy compression (issue #220)
* the lossless bitstream spec has been amended to reflect the current code
- 7/24/14: version 0.4.1
This is a binary compatible release.
* AArch64 (arm64) & MIPS support/optimizations
* NEON assembly additions:
- ~25% faster lossy decode / encode (-m 4)
- ~10% faster lossless decode
- ~5-10% faster lossless encode (-m 3/4)
* dwebp/vwebp can read from stdin
* cwebp/gif2webp can write to stdout
* cwebp can read webp files; useful if storing sources as webp lossless
- 12/19/13: version 0.4.0
* improved gif2webp tool
* numerous fixes, compression improvement and speed-up
* dither option added to decoder (dwebp -dither 50 ...)
* improved multi-threaded modes (-mt option)
* improved filtering strength determination
* New function: WebPMuxGetCanvasSize
* BMP and TIFF format output added to 'dwebp'
* Significant memory reduction for decoding lossy images with alpha.
* Intertwined decoding of RGB and alpha for a shorter
time-to-first-decoded-pixel.
* WebPIterator has a new member 'has_alpha' denoting whether the frame
contains transparency.
* Container spec amended with new 'blending method' for animation.
- 6/13/13: version 0.3.1
This is a binary compatible release.
* Add incremental decoding support for images containing ALPH and ICCP chunks.
* Python bindings via swig for the simple encode/decode interfaces similar to
Java.
- 3/20/13: version 0.3.0
This is a binary compatible release.
* WebPINewRGB/WebPINewYUVA accept being passed a NULL output buffer
and will perform auto-allocation.
* default filter option is now '-strong -f 60'
* encoding speed-up for lossy methods 3 to 6
* alpha encoding can be done in parallel to lossy using 'cwebp -mt ...'
* color profile, metadata (XMP/EXIF) and animation support finalized in the
container.
* various NEON assembly additions
Tool updates / additions:
* gif2webp added
* vwebp given color profile & animation support
* cwebp can preserve color profile / metadata with '-metadata'
- 10/30/12: version 0.2.1
* Various security related fixes

* Security related hardening: allocation and size checks
* Add PAM output support to dwebp
- 7/19/12: version 0.1.99
* This is a pre-release of 0.2.0, not an rc to allow for further
incompatible changes based on user feedback.

* Lossless encoder/decoder.
* Add TIFF input support to cwebp.
Incompatible changes:
* The encode ABI has been modified to support alpha encoding.
