2010-10-28 v0.9.5 "Aylesbury" Our first named release, focused on a faster decoder, and a better encoder. - Upgrading: This release incorporates backwards-incompatible changes to the ivfenc and ivfdec tools. These tools are now called vpxenc and vpxdec. vpxdec * the -q (quiet) option has been removed, and replaced with -v (verbose). the output is quiet by default. Use -v to see the version number of the binary. * The default behavior is now to write output to a single file instead of individual frames. The -y option has been removed. Y4M output is the default. * For raw I420/YV12 output instead of Y4M, the --i420 or --yv12 options must be specified. $ ivfdec -o OUTPUT INPUT $ vpxdec --i420 -o OUTPUT INPUT * If an output file is not specified, the default is to write Y4M to stdout. This makes piping more natural. $ ivfdec -y -o - INPUT | ... $ vpxdec INPUT | ... * The output file has additional flexibility for formatting the filename. It supports escape characters for constructing a filename from the width, height, and sequence number. This replaces the -p option. To get the equivalent: $ ivfdec -p frame INPUT $ vpxdec --i420 -o frame-%wx%h-%4.i420 INPUT vpxenc * The output file must be specified with -o, rather than as the last argument. $ ivfenc <options> INPUT OUTPUT $ vpxenc <options> -o OUTPUT INPUT * The output defaults to webm. To get IVF output, use the --ivf option. $ ivfenc <options> INPUT OUTPUT.ivf $ vpxenc <options> -o OUTPUT.ivf --ivf INPUT - Enhancements: ivfenc and ivfdec have been renamed to vpxenc, vpxdec. vpxdec supports .webm input vpxdec writes .y4m by default vpxenc writes .webm output by default vpxenc --psnr now shows the average/overall PSNR at the end ARM platforms now support runtime cpu detection vpxdec visualizations added for motion vectors, block modes, references vpxdec now silent by default vpxdec --progress shows frame-by-frame timing information vpxenc supports the distinction between --fps and --timebase NASM is now a supported assembler configure: enable PIC for shared libs by default configure: add --enable-small configure: support for ppc32-linux-gcc configure: support for sparc-solaris-gcc - Bugs: Improve handling of invalid frames Fix valgrind errors in the NEON loop filters. Fix loopfilter delta zero transitions Fix valgrind errors in vp8_sixtap_predict8x4_armv6(). Build fixes for darwin-icc - Speed: 20-40% (average 28%) improvement in libvpx decoder speed, including: Rewrite vp8_short_walsh4x4_sse2() Optimizations on the loopfilters. Miscellaneous improvements for Atom Add 4-tap version of 2nd-pass ARMv6 MC filter. Improved multithread utilization Better instruction choices on x86 reorder data to use wider instructions Update NEON wide idcts Make block access to frame buffer sequential Improved subset block search Bilinear subpixel optimizations for ssse3. Decrease memory footprint Encoder speed improvements (percentage gain not measured): Skip unnecessary search of identical frames Add SSE2 subtract functions Improve bounds checking in vp8_diamond_search_sadx4() Added vp8_fast_quantize_b_sse2 - Quality: Over 7% overall PSNR improvement (6.3% SSIM) in "best" quality encoding mode, and up to 60% improvement on very noisy, still or slow moving source video Motion compensated temporal filter for Alt-Ref Noise Reduction Improved use of trellis quantization on 2nd order Y blocks Tune effect of motion on KF/GF boost in two pass Allow coefficient optimization for good quality speed 0. Improved control of active min quantizer for two pass. Enable ARFs for non-lagged compress 2010-09-02 v0.9.2 - Enhancements: Disable frame dropping by default Improved multithreaded performance Improved Force Key Frame Behaviour Increased rate control buffer level precision Fix bug in 1st pass motion compensation ivfenc: correct fixed kf interval, --disable-kf - Speed: Changed above and left context data layout Rework idct calling structure. Removed unnecessary MB_MODE_INFO copies x86: SSSE3 sixtap prediction Reworked IDCT to include reconstruction (add) step Swap alt/gold/new/last frame buffer ptrs instead of copying. Improve SSE2 loopfilter functions Change bitreader to use a larger window. Avoid loopfilter reinitialization when possible - Quality: Normalize quantizer's zero bin and rounding factors Add trellis quantization. Make the quantizer exact. Updates to ARNR filtering algorithm Fix breakout thresh computation for golden & AltRef frames Redo the forward 4x4 dct Improve the accuracy of forward walsh-hadamard transform Further adjustment of RD behaviour with Q and Zbin. - Build System: Allow linking of libs built with MinGW to MSVC Fix target auto-detection on mingw32 Allow --cpu= to work for x86. configure: pass original arguments through to make dist Fix builds without runtime CPU detection msvs: fix install of codec sources msvs: Change devenv.com command line for better msys support msvs: Add vs9 targets. Add x86_64-linux-icc target - Bugs: Potential crashes on older MinGW builds Fix two-pass framrate for Y4M input. Fixed simple loop filter, other crashes on ARM v6 arm: fix missing dependency with --enable-shared configure: support directories containing .o Replace pinsrw (SSE) with MMX instructions apple: include proper mach primatives Fixed rate control bug with long key frame interval. Fix DSO link errors on x86-64 when not using a version script Fixed buffer selection for UV in AltRef filtering 2010-06-17 v0.9.1 - Enhancements: * ivfenc/ivfdec now support YUV4MPEG2 input and pipe I/O * Speed optimizations - Bugfixes: * Rate control * Prevent out-of-bounds accesses on invalid data - Build system updates: * Detect toolchain to be used automatically for native builds * Support building shared libraries * Better autotools emulation (--prefix, --libdir, DESTDIR) - Updated LICENSE * http://webmproject.blogspot.com/2010/06/changes-to-webm-open-source-license.html 2010-05-18 v0.9.0 - Initial open source release.
