2019-07-15 v1.8.1 "Orpington Duck"
|
||||
This release collects incremental improvements to many aspects of the library.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
VP8E_SET_CPUUSED now accepts values up to 9 for vp9.
|
||||
VPX_CTRL_VP9E_SET_MAX_INTER_BITRATE_PCT had a spelling fix (was VP8E).
|
||||
The --sdk-path option has been removed. If you were using it to build for
|
||||
Android please read build/make/Android.mk for alternatives.
|
||||
All PPC optimizations have been disabled:
|
||||
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1522.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
Various changes to improve encoder rate control, quality and speed
|
||||
for practically every use case.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug fixes:
|
||||
vp9-rtc: Fix color artifacts for speed >= 8.
|
||||
|
||||
2019-01-31 v1.8.0 "Northern Shoveler Duck"
|
||||
This release focused on encoding performance for realtime and VOD use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
This adds and improves several vp9 controls. Most are related to SVC:
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_FRAME_DROP_LAYER:
|
||||
- Frame dropping in SVC.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_INTER_LAYER_PRED:
|
||||
- Inter-layer prediction in SVC.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_GF_TEMPORAL_REF:
|
||||
- Enable long term temporal reference in SVC.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG/VP9E_GET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG:
|
||||
- Extend and improve this control for better flexibility in setting SVC
|
||||
pattern dynamically.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_POSTENCODE_DROP:
|
||||
- Allow for post-encode frame dropping (applies to non-SVC too).
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_SPATIAL_LAYER_SYNC:
|
||||
- Enable spatial layer sync frames.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_SVC_LAYER_ID:
|
||||
- Extend api to specify temporal id for each spatial layers.
|
||||
VP9E_SET_ROI_MAP:
|
||||
- Extend Region of Interest functionality to VP9.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
2 pass vp9 encoding has improved substantially. When using --auto-alt-ref=6,
|
||||
we see approximately 8% for VBR and 10% for CQ. When using --auto-alt-ref=1,
|
||||
the gains are approximately 4% for VBR and 5% for CQ.
|
||||
|
||||
For real-time encoding, speed 7 has improved by ~5-10%. Encodes targeted at
|
||||
screen sharing have improved when the content changes significantly (slide
|
||||
sharing) or scrolls. There is a new speed 9 setting for mobile devices which
|
||||
is about 10-20% faster than speed 8.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug fixes:
|
||||
VP9 denoiser issue.
|
||||
VP9 partition issue for 1080p.
|
||||
VP9 rate control improvments.
|
||||
Postprocessing Multi Frame Quality Enhancement (MFQE) issue.
|
||||
VP8 multithread decoder issues.
|
||||
A variety of fuzzing issues.
|
||||
|
||||
2018-01-04 v1.7.0 "Mandarin Duck"
|
||||
This release focused on high bit depth performance (10/12 bit) and vp9
|
||||
encoding improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
This release is ABI incompatible due to new vp9 encoder features.
|
||||
|
||||
Frame parallel decoding for vp9 has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
vp9 encoding supports additional threads with --row-mt. This can be greater
|
||||
than the number of tiles.
|
||||
|
||||
Two new vp9 encoder options have been added:
|
||||
--corpus-complexity
|
||||
--tune-content=film
|
||||
|
||||
Additional tooling for respecting the vp9 "level" profiles has been added.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug fixes:
|
||||
A variety of fuzzing issues.
|
||||
vp8 threading fix for ARM.
|
||||
Codec control VP9_SET_SKIP_LOOP_FILTER fixed.
|
||||
Reject invalid multi resolution configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
2017-01-09 v1.6.1 "Long Tailed Duck"
|
||||
This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
|
||||
decoding processes.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
This release is ABI compatible with 1.6.0.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
Faster VP9 encoding and decoding.
|
||||
High bit depth builds now provide similar speed for 8 bit encode and decode
|
||||
for x86 targets. Other platforms and higher bit depth improvements are in
|
||||
progress.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug Fixes:
|
||||
A variety of fuzzing issues.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
This release is ABI incompatible with 1.4.0. It drops deprecated VP8
|
||||
controls and adds a variety of VP9 controls for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
The vpxenc utility now prefers VP9 by default.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
Faster VP9 encoding and decoding
|
||||
Smaller library size by combining functions used by VP8 and VP9
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
Faster VP9 encoding and decoding
|
||||
Multithreaded VP9 decoding (tile and frame-based)
|
||||
Multithreaded VP9 encoding - on by default
|
||||
YUV 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 support in VP9
|
||||
10 and 12bit support in VP9
|
||||
64bit ARM support by replacing ARM assembly with intrinsics
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug Fixes:
|
||||
Fixes a VP9 bitstream issue in Profile 1. This only affected non-YUV 4:2:0
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
- Known Issues:
|
||||
Frame Parallel decoding fails for segmented and non-420 files.
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:

|
||||
|
||||
- Speed:
|
||||
Miscellaneous speed optimizations for VP8 and VP9.
|
||||
|
||||
- Quality:
|
||||
In general, quality is consistent with the Eider release.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug Fixes:
|
||||
This release represents approximately a year of engineering effort,
|
||||
and contains multiple bug fixes. Please refer to git history for details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2012-12-21 v1.2.0
|
||||
This release acts as a checkpoint for a large amount of internal refactoring
|
||||
and testing. It also contains a number of small bugfixes, so all users 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
VP8 optimizations for MIPS dspr2
|
||||
vpxenc: add -quiet option
|
||||
|
||||
- Speed:
|
||||
Encoder and decoder speed is consistent with the Eider release.
|
||||
|
||||
- Quality:
|
||||
In general, quality is consistent with the Eider release.
|
||||
|
||||
Minor tweaks to ARNR filtering
|
||||
Minor improvements to real time encoding with multiple temporal layers
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug Fixes:
|
||||
Fixes multithreaded encoder race condition in loopfilter
|
||||

|
||||
Fix potential encoder dead-lock after picture resize
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 targetting
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
Stereo 3D format support for vpxenc
|
||||
Runtime detection of available processor cores.
|
||||
Allow specifying --end-usage by enum name
|
||||

|
||||
Avoid text relocations in ARM vp8 decoder
|
||||
Generate a vpx.pc file for pkg-config.
|
||||
New ways of passing encoded data between encoder and decoder.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Reduce motion vector search on alt-ref frame.
|
||||
Encoder loopfilter running in its own thread
|
||||
Reworked loopfilter to precalculate more parameters
|
||||
SSE2/SSSE3 optimizations for build_predictors_mbuv{,_s}().
|
||||
Make hor UV predict ~2x faster (73 vs 132 cycles) using SSSE3.
|
||||
Removed redundant checks
|
||||
Reduced structure sizes

|
||||
Increase chrow row alignment to 16 bytes.
|
||||
disable trellis optimization for first pass
|
||||
Write SSSE3 sub-pixel filter function
|
||||
Improve SSE2 half-pixel filter funtions
|
||||

2011-03-07 v0.9.6 "Bali"
|
||||
Our second named release, focused on a faster, higher quality, encoder.
|
||||
|
||||
- Upgrading:
|
||||
This release is backwards compatible with Aylesbury (v0.9.5). Users
|
||||
of older releases should refer to the Upgrading notes in this
|
||||
document for that release.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enhancements:
|
||||
vpxenc --psnr shows a summary when encode completes
|
||||
--tune=ssim option to enable activity masking
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Speed:
|
||||
Primary focus was on good quality mode, speed 0. Average improvement
|
||||
on x86 about 40%, up to 100% on user-generated content at that speed.
|
||||
Best quality mode speed improved 35%, and realtime speed 10-20%. This
|
||||
release also saw significant improvement in realtime encoding speed
|
||||
on ARM platforms.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Quality:
|
||||
Best quality mode improved PSNR 6.3%, and SSIM 6.1%. This release
|
||||
also includes support for "activity masking," which greatly improves
|
||||
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
|
||||
called "CQ," which changes the allocation of bits within a clip to
|
||||
the sections where they will have the most visual impact.

||||
|
||||
Tuning for the more exact quantizer.

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
