libtheora 1.0alpha6 (2006 May 30)
* Merge theora-mmx simd acceleration (x86_32 and x86_64)
* Major RTP payload specification update
* Minor format specification updates
* Fix some spurious calls to free() instead of _ogg_free()
* Fix invalid array indexing in PixelLineSearch()
* Improve robustness against invalid input
* General warning cleanup
* The offset_y member now means what every application thought it meant
(offset from the top). This will mean some old files (those with a
non-centered image created with a buggy encoder) will display differently.
libtheora 1.0alpha5 (2005 August 20)
* Fixed bitrate management bugs that caused popping and encode
errors
* Fixed a crash problem with the theora_state internals not
being intialized properly.
* new utility function:
- theora_granule_shift()
* dump_video example now makes YUV4MPEG files by default, so
the results can be fed back to encoder_example and similar
tools. The old behavior is restored through the '-r' switch.
* ./configure now prints a summary
* simple unit test of the comment api under 'make check'
* misc code cleanup, warning and leak fixes
libtheora 1.0alpha4 (2004 December 15)
* first draft of the Theora I Format Specification
* API documentation generated from theora.h with Doxygen
* fix a double-update bug in the motion analysis
* apply the loop filter before filling motion vector border
in the reference frame
* new utility functions:
- theora_packet_isheader(),
- theora_packet_iskeyframe()
- theora_granule_frame()
* optional support for building without floating point
* optional support for building without encode support
* various build and packaging fixes
* pkg-config support
* SymbianOS build support
libtheora 1.0alpha3 (2004 March 20)
UPDATE: on 2004 July 1 the Theora I bitstream format was frozen. Files
produced by the libtheora 1.0alpha3 reference encoder will always be
decodable by the Theora I spec.
* Bitstream info header FORMAT CHANGES:
- move the granulepos shift field to maintain byte alignment longer.
- reserve 5 additional bits for subsampling and interlace flags.
* Bitstream setup header FORMAT CHANGES:
- support for a range of interpolated quant matricies.
- include the in-loop block filter coeff.
* Bitsteam data packet FORMAT CHANGES:
- Reserve a bit for per-block Q index selection.
- Flip the coded image orientation for compatibility with VP3.
This allows lossless transcoding of VP3 content, but files
encoded with earlier theora releases would play upside down.
* example VP3 lossless transcoder
* optional support for libogg2
* timing improvements in the example player
* packaging and build system updates and fixes
libtheora 1.0alpha2 (2003 June 9)
* bitstream FORMAT CHANGES:
- store the quant tables in a third setup header for
future encoder flexibility
- store the huffman tables in the third setup header
- add a field for marking the colorspace to the info header
- add crop parameters for non-multiple-of-16 frame sizes
- add a second vorbiscomment-style metadata header
* API changes to handle multiple headers with a single
theora_decode_header() call, like libvorbis
* code cleanup and minor fixes
* new dump_video code example/utility
* experimental win32 code examples
libtheora 1.0alpha1 (2002 September 25)
* First release of the theora reference implementation
* Port of the newly opened VP3 code to the Ogg container
* Rewrite of the code for portability and to use the libogg bitpacker
