2016-07-20 v1.6.0 "Khaki Campbell Duck"
This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
decoding processes.
- Upgrading:
This release is ABI incompatible with 1.5.0 due to a new 'color_range' enum
in vpx_image and some minor changes to the VP8_COMP structure.
The default key frame interval for VP9 has changed from 128 to 9999.
- Enhancement:
A core focus has been performance for low end Intel processors. SSSE3
instructions such as 'pshufb' have been avoided and instructions have been
reordered to better accommodate the more constrained pipelines.
As a result, devices based on Celeron processors have seen substantial
decoding improvements. From Indian Runner Duck to Javan Whistling Duck,
decoding speed improved between 10 and 30%. Between Javan Whistling Duck
and Khaki Campbell Duck, it improved another 10 to 15%.
While Celeron benefited most, Core-i5 also improved 5% and 10% between the
respective releases.
Realtime performance for WebRTC for both speed and quality has received a
lot of attention.
- Bug Fixes:
A number of fuzzing issues, found variously by Mozilla, Chromium and others,
have been fixed and we strongly recommend updating.
2015-11-09 v1.5.0 "Javan Whistling Duck"
This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
decoding processes.

- Bug Fixes:
A variety of fuzzing issues
2015-04-03 v1.4.0 "Indian Runner Duck"
This release includes significant improvements to the VP9 codec.
- Upgrading:
This release is ABI incompatible with 1.3.0. It drops the compatibility
layer, requiring VPX_IMG_FMT_* instead of IMG_FMT_*, and adds several codec
controls for VP9.

2013-11-15 v1.3.0 "Forest"
This release introduces the VP9 codec in a backward-compatible way.
All existing users of VP8 can continue to use the library without
modification. However, some VP8 options do not map to VP9 in the same manner.
The VP9 encoder in this release is not feature complete. Users interested in
the encoder are advised to use the git master branch and discuss issues on
libvpx mailing lists.
- Upgrading:

2012-05-09 v1.1.0 "Eider"
This introduces a number of enhancements, mostly focused on real-time
encoding. In addition, it fixes a decoder bug (first introduced in
Duclair) so all users of that release are encouraged to upgrade.
- Upgrading:
This release is ABI and API compatible with Duclair (v1.0.0). Users
of older releases should refer to the Upgrading notes in this
document for that release.
This release introduces a new temporal denoiser, controlled by the
VP8E_SET_NOISE_SENSITIVITY control. The temporal denoiser does not
currently take a strength parameter, so the control is effectively
a boolean - zero (off) or non-zero (on). For compatibility with
existing applications, the values accepted are the same as those
for the spatial denoiser (0-6). The temporal denoiser is enabled
by default, and the older spatial denoiser may be restored by
configuring with --disable-temporal-denoising. The temporal denoiser
is more computationally intensive than the spatial one.
This release removes support for a legacy, decode only API that was
supported, but deprecated, at the initial release of libvpx
(v0.9.0). This is not expected to have any impact. If you are
impacted, you can apply a reversion to commit 2bf8fb58 locally.
Please update to the latest libvpx API if you are affected.
- Enhancements:
Adds a motion compensated temporal denoiser to the encoder, which
gives higher quality than the older spatial denoiser. (See above
for notes on upgrading).
In addition, support for new compilers and platforms were added,
including:
improved support for XCode
Android x86 NDK build
OS/2 support
SunCC support
Changing resolution with vpx_codec_enc_config_set() is now
supported. Previously, reinitializing the codec was required to
change the input resolution.
The vpxenc application has initial support for producing multiple
encodes from the same input in one call. Resizing is not yet
supported, but varying other codec parameters is. Use -- to
delineate output streams. Options persist from one stream to the
next.
Also, the vpxenc application will now use a keyframe interval of
5 seconds by default. Use the --kf-max-dist option to override.
- Speed:
Decoder performance improved 2.5% versus Duclair. Encoder speed is
consistent with Duclair for most material. Two pass encoding of
slideshow-like material will see significant improvements.
Large realtime encoding speed gains at a small quality expense are
possible by configuring the on-the-fly bitpacking experiment with
--enable-onthefly-bitpacking. Realtime encoder can be up to 13%
faster (ARM) depending on the number of threads and bitrate
settings. This technique sees constant gain over the 5-16 speed
range. For VC style input the loss seen is up to 0.2dB. See commit
52cf4dca for further details.
- Quality:
On the whole, quality is consistent with the Duclair release. Some
tweaks:
Reduced blockiness in easy sections by applying a penalty to
intra modes.
Improved quality of static sections (like slideshows) with
two pass encoding.
Improved keyframe sizing with multiple temporal layers
- Bug Fixes:
Corrected alt-ref contribution to frame rate for visible updates
to the alt-ref buffer. This affected applications making manual
usage of the frame reference flags, or temporal layers.
Additional constraints were added to disable multi-frame quality
enhancement (MFQE) in sections of the frame where there is motion.
(#392)
Fixed corruption issues when vpx_codec_enc_config_set() was called
with spatial resampling enabled.
Fixed a decoder error introduced in Duclair where the segmentation
map was not being reinitialized on keyframes (#378)
2012-01-27 v1.0.0 "Duclair"
Our fourth named release, focused on performance and features related to
real-time encoding. It also fixes a decoder crash bug introduced in
v0.9.7, so all users of that release are encouraged to upgrade.
- Upgrading:
This release is ABI incompatible with prior releases of libvpx, so the
"major" version number has been bumped to 1. You must recompile your
applications against the latest version of the libvpx headers. The
API remains compatible, and this should not require code changes in most
applications.
- Enhancements:
This release introduces several substantial new features to the encoder,
of particular interest to real time streaming applications.
Temporal scalability allows the encoder to produce a stream that can
be decimated to different frame rates, with independent rate targeting
for each substream.
Multiframe quality enhancement postprocessing can make visual quality
more consistent in the presence of frames that are substantially
different quality than the surrounding frames, as in the temporal
scalability case and in some forced keyframe scenarios.
Multiple-resolution encoding support allows the encoding of the
same content at different resolutions faster than encoding them
separately.
- Speed:
Optimization targets for this release included the decoder and the real-
time modes of the encoder. Decoder speed on x86 has improved 10.5% with
this release. Encoder improvements followed a curve where speeds 1-3
improved 4.0%-1.5%, speeds 4-8 improved <1%, and speeds 9-16 improved
1.5% to 10.5%, respectively. "Best" mode speed is consistent with the
Cayuga release.
- Quality:
Encoder quality in the single stream case is consistent with the Cayuga
release.
- Bug Fixes:
This release fixes an OOB read decoder crash bug present in v0.9.7
related to the clamping of motion vectors in SPLITMV blocks. This
behavior could be triggered by corrupt input or by starting
decoding from a P-frame.
2011-08-15 v0.9.7-p1 "Cayuga" patch 1
This is an incremental bugfix release against Cayuga. All users of that
release are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
- Fix potential OOB reads (cdae03a)
An unbounded out of bounds read was discovered when the
decoder was requested to perform error concealment (new in
Cayuga) given a frame with corrupt partition sizes.
A bounded out of bounds read was discovered affecting all
versions of libvpx. Given an multipartition input frame that
is truncated between the mode/mv partition and the first
residiual paritition (in the block of partition offsets), up
to 3 extra bytes could have been read from the source buffer.
The code will not take any action regardless of the contents
of these undefined bytes, as the truncated buffer is detected
immediately following the read based on the calculated
starting position of the coefficient partition.
- Fix potential error concealment crash when the very first frame
is missing or corrupt (a609be5)
- Fix significant artifacts in error concealment (a4c2211, 99d870a)
- Revert 1-pass CBR rate control changes (e961317)
Further testing showed this change produced undesirable visual
artifacts, rolling back for now.
2011-08-02 v0.9.7 "Cayuga"
Our third named release, focused on a faster, higher quality, encoder.
- Upgrading:
This release is backwards compatible with Aylesbury (v0.9.5) and
Bali (v0.9.6). Users of older releases should refer to the Upgrading
notes in this document for that release.

- Speed:
This release includes across-the-board speed improvements to the
encoder. On x86, these measure at approximately 11.5% in Best mode,
21.5% in Good mode (speed 0), and 22.5% in Realtime mode (speed 6).
On ARM Cortex A9 with Neon extensions, real-time encoding of video
telephony content is 35% faster than Bali on single core and 48%
faster on multi-core. On the NVidia Tegra2 platform, real time
encoding is 40% faster than Bali.
Decoder speed was not a priority for this release, but improved
approximately 8.4% on x86.

SSIM at the expense of PSNR. For now, this feature is available with
the --tune=ssim option. Further experimentation in this area
is ongoing. This release also introduces a new rate control mode

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.

2010-05-18 v0.9.0
- Initial open source release. Welcome to WebM and VP8!
