- 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 * cwebp.exe: fix import errors on Windows XP * enable DLL builds for mingw targets - 8/3/12: version 0.2.0 * Add support for ARGB -> YUVA conversion for lossless decoder New functions: WebPINewYUVA, WebPIDecGetYUVA * Add stats for lossless and alpha encoding * 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. * Alpha channel encode/decode support. * Lossless encoder/decoder. * Add TIFF input support to cwebp. Incompatible changes: * The encode ABI has been modified to support alpha encoding. * Deprecated function WebPINew() has been removed. * Decode function signatures have changed to consistently use size_t over int/uint32_t. * decode_vp8.h is no longer installed system-wide. * cwebp will encode the alpha channel if present. - 9/19/11: version 0.1.3 * Advanced decoding APIs. * On-the-fly cropping and rescaling of images. * SSE2 instructions for decoding performance optimizations on x86 based platforms. * Support Multi-threaded decoding. * 40% improvement in Decoding performance. * Add support for RGB565, RGBA4444 & ARGB image colorspace. * Better handling of large picture encoding. - 3/25/11: version 0.1.2 * Incremental decoding: picture can be decoded byte-by-byte if needs be. * lot of bug-fixes, consolidation and stabilization - 2/23/11: initial release of version 0.1, with the new encoder - 9/30/10: initial release version with only the lightweight decoder
