The changes are relative to the previous release, unless the baseline is specified.

Unreleased

Added since 1.1.1

• Add the properties and numProperties fields to avifImage. They are filled by the avifDecoder instance with the properties unrecognized by libavif.

Changed since 1.1.1

• avifenc: Allow large images to be encoded.
• Fix empty CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE if -DAVIF_CODEC_AOM=LOCAL -DAVIF_LIBYUV=OFF is specified. https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/issues/2365.
• Renamed AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_METAV1 to AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MINI and updated the experimental reduced header feature to the latest specification draft.
• Ignore gain maps with unsupported metadata. Handle gain maps with writer_version > 0 correctly. Simplify gain map API: remove the enableParsingGainMapMetadata setting, now gain map metadata is always parsed if present and if this feature is compiled in. Replace enableDecodingGainMap and ignoreColorAndAlpha with a bit field to choose image content to decode. Remove gainMapPresent: users can check if decoder->image->gainMap != NULL instead.
• Write an empty HandlerBox name field instead of “libavif” (saves 7 bytes).
• Update aom.cmd/LocalAom.cmake: v3.11.0
• Update avm.cmd: research-v8.0.0
• Update dav1d.cmd/dav1d_android.sh/LocalDav1d.cmake: 1.5.0

• Update libxml2.cmd/LocalLibXml2.cmake: v2.13.4
• Update svt.cmd/svt.sh/LocalSvt.cmake: v2.2.1
• Change experimental gainmap API: remove avifGainMapMetadata and avifGainMapMetadataDouble structs.
• Add avif(Un)SignedFraction structs and avifDoubleTo(Un)SignedFraction utility functions.

1.1.1 - 2024-07-30

Changed since 1.1.0

• In avif.h, change “AVIF_API AVIF_NODISCARD” back to “AVIF_NODISCARD AVIF_API” to fix clang-cl and MSVC compilation errors in the shared library build on Windows.
• Fix -DAVIF_GTEST=SYSTEM, https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/issues/2258.
• Fix infe_type and codec_config_type wrongly read as byte-aligned fields in the experimental feature AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_METAV1.
• When building aom as a local dependency, runtime CPU detection (CONFIG_RUNTIME_CPU_DETECT) is now always ON; in 1.1.0 it had been disabled for non-native builds.
• Fix CMake config shared library leaks https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/issues/2264.
• Fix clang-cl compilation.
• Update gain map metadata to current ISO 21496-1 draft.
• cmake: Only search for ASM_NASM language on x86_64 platforms.
• Fix “No known features for CXX compiler” CMake error.
• Fix aom link flags so that transitive library link flags are included when aom is a static library https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/issues/2274.
• Fix out-of-order ‘dimg’ grid associations https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/issues/2311.
• Report files with an item used in multiple ‘dimg’ boxes with AVIF_RESULT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED instead of AVIF_RESULT_INVALID_IMAGE_GRID.

1.1.0 - 2024-07-11

Added since 1.0.0

• Add experimental API for reading and writing gain maps in AVIF files. If enabled at compile time, add gainMap field to avifImage, add qualityGainMap field to avifEncoder, add gainMapPresent, enableDecodingGainMap, enableParsingGainMapMetadata and ignoreColorAndAlpha to avifDecoder. Utility functions for working with gain maps are also added. Gain maps allow readers that support them to display HDR images that look good on both HDR and SDR displays. This feature is highly experimental. The API might change or be removed in the future. Files created now might not decode in a future version. This feature is off by default and must be enabled with the AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_GAIN_MAP compilation flag.
• Add experimental support for converting jpeg files with gain maps to AVIF files with gain maps. Requires libxml2, and the AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_GAIN_MAP compilation flag. Add a --qgain-map flag to control the gain map quality in avifenc.
• Add the headerFormat member of new type avifHeaderFormat to avifEncoder.
• Add experimental API for reading and writing “mif3”-branded AVIF files behind the compilation flag AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_METAV1.
• Implement avifImageScale() fallback when libyuv is not available.
• Partial import of libyuv to third_party/libyuv (new LICENSE).
• Add avifenc flag suffixes “:update” and “:u”. Quality-relative, tiling-relative and codec-specific flags can now be positional, relative to input files.
• Add experimental support for layered AVIF encoding in avifenc. Use the --layered flag to enable layered AVIF encoding. Layered AVIF has multiple layers, which works like frame of animated AVIF, and layers can be rendered in progressive manner on supported viewers (e.g. Chrome 94 or newer). Only aom supports layered AVIF encoding at the time of writing. Add --scaling-mode flag to set scaling mode of each layer. This part of AV1 encoder is not as thoroughly tested, so there are higher possibility encoder may crash when given certain configuration or input.
• Add imageSequenceTrackPresent flag to the avifDecoder struct.
• avifImageScale() function was made part of the public ABI.
• Add avif_cxx.h as a C++ header with basic functionality.
• Add enum aliases AVIF_COLOR_PRIMARIES_SRGB, AVIF_COLOR_PRIMARIES_BT2100, AVIF_COLOR_PRIMARIES_DCI_P3, AVIF_TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTICS_PQ.
• Add avifResult enum entry AVIF_RESULT_INTERNAL_ERROR.
• Require libyuv by default (but it can still be disabled with -DAVIF_LIBYUV=OFF).
• Add avifdec --icc flag to override the output color profile.
• Add experimental API for reading and writing 16-bit AVIF files behind the compilation flag AVIF_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_SAMPLE_TRANSFORM.
• Add AVIF_CHROMA_SAMPLE_POSITION_RESERVED to avifChromaSamplePosition enum.

• Fix SVT-AV1 codec interface which was not setting video range at encoding.
• Any item ID being 0 in an “iref” box with version 0 or 1 is now treated as an error instead of being ignored.
• API calls now return AVIF_RESULT_OUT_OF_MEMORY instead of aborting on memory allocation failure.
• avifdec and avifenc: Change the default value of the --jobs option from 1 to “all”.
• Update avifCropRectConvertCleanApertureBox() to the revised requirements in ISO/IEC 23000-22:2019/Amd. 2:2021 Section 7.3.6.7.
• AVIF files with an exif_tiff_header_offset pointing at another byte than the first II or MM tag in the Exif metadata payload will now fail to be decoded. Set decoder->ignoreExif to true to skip the issue and decode the image.
• Fix memory errors reported in crbug.com/1501766, crbug.com/1501770, and crbug.com/1504792 by Fudan University.
• For codecs, AVIF_CODEC_* and AVIF_LOCAL_* are now merged into AVIF_CODEC_* that can only take the values: OFF, LOCAL or SYSTEM.
• For the gtest, jpeg, libsharpyuv, libxml2, libyuv and zlibpng dependencies, AVIF_LOCAL_* is now replaced by flags AVIF_* that can take the values: OFF, LOCAL or SYSTEM.
• src/reformat.c: Allocate the threadData array directly.
• AVIF_ENABLE_WERROR is set to OFF by default.
• Fix wrong alpha plane deallocation when decoded tile pixel format does not match reconstructed output image pixel format (b/320234262).
• Fix identical chunk skipping optimization when writing animation data (b/321189607).
• Fix ID selection for artificial grid alpha item when decoding a grid of tiles which each have an associated auxiliary alpha image item (https://crbug.com/oss-fuzz/65657).
• ext/libjpeg.cmd now pulls libjpeg-turbo instead of libjpeg and AVIF_JPEG=LOCAL now expects the library dependency in ext/libjpeg-turbo/build.libavif.
• Fix ‘iloc’ box parsing bugs that may have wrongly accepted, rejected or parsed some files with rare values of offset_size, length_size, base_offset_size and index_size.
• ‘infe’ boxes with an item_type different from ‘mime’ and without a null-terminated item_name are now considered invalid as per ISO/IEC 14496-12.

1.0.0 - 2023-08-24

With the 1.0.0 release, the ABI will be more stable from now on. Please note the allocation and initialization requirements for avifImage, avifDecoder, avifEncoder, and avifRGBImage in the “avif/avif.h” header.

List of incompatible ABI changes in this release:

• The clli member was added to the avifImage struct.
• The repetitionCount member was added to the avifEncoder and avifDecoder structs.
• The quality and qualityAlpha members were added to the avifEncoder struct.
• Check that functions returning pointers do not return NULL before accessing those pointers.
• Check the return value of avifEncoderSetCodecSpecificOption().
• The maxThreads member was added to the avifRGBImage struct.
• Check the return value of avifRGBImageAllocatePixels(), avifRWDataRealloc(), avifRWDataSet(), avifImageSetProfileICC(), avifImageSetMetadataExif() and avifImageSetMetadataXMP().
• The meaning of the keyframeInterval member of avifEncoder struct has changed slightly. When set to a value of “n”,
  • Before: It forces a keyframe on every nth frame.
  • After: Any set of “n” consecutive frame will have at least one keyframe (every nth frame may or may not be a keyframe).

Added

• Add STATIC library target avif_internal to allow tests to access functions from internal.h when BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is ON.
• Add clli metadata read and write support
• Add repetitionCount member to avifEncoder and avifDecoder structs to specify the number of repetitions for animated image sequences.
• Add quality and qualityAlpha to avifEncoder. Note: minQuantizer, maxQuantizer, minQuantizerAlpha, and maxQuantizerAlpha are deprecated. Code should be updated to set quality (and qualityAlpha if applicable) and leave minQuantizer, maxQuantizer, minQuantizerAlpha, and maxQuantizerAlpha initialized to the default values.
• The --target-size flag in avifenc was added to adapt the quality so that the output file size is as close to the given number of bytes as possible.
• Add the public API function avifImageIsOpaque() in avif.h.
• Add the public API functions avifImagePlane(), avifImagePlaneRowBytes(), avifImagePlaneWidth(), and avifImagePlaneHeight() in avif.h.
• Add experimental API for progressive AVIF encoding.
• Add API for multi-threaded YUV to RGB color conversion.
• Add experimental support for AV2 behind the compilation flag AVIF_CODEC_AVM. AVIF_CODEC_CHOICE_AVM is now part of avifCodecChoice.

• Allow lossless 4:0:0 on grayscale input.
• Add avifenc --no-overwrite flag to avoid overwriting output file.
• Add avifenc --clli flag to set clli.
• Add support for all transfer functions when using libsharpyuv.

Changed

• Enable the libaom AV1E_SET_SKIP_POSTPROC_FILTERING codec control by default.
• Use the constant rate factor (CRF) instead of the constant quantization parameter (CQP) rate control mode with the SVT-AV1 encoder.
• Exif and XMP metadata is exported to PNG and JPEG files by default, except XMP payloads larger than 65502 bytes in JPEG.
• The --grid flag in avifenc can be used for images that are not evenly divided into cells.
• Apps must be built with libpng version 1.6.32 or above.
• Change the encoder to write the boxes within the “stbl” box in the order of stsd, stts, stsc, stsz, stco, stss.
• avifImageCopy() no longer accepts source U and V channels to be NULL for non-4:0:0 input if Y is not NULL and if AVIF_PLANES_YUV is specified.
• The default values of the maxQuantizer and maxQuantizerAlpha members of avifEncoder changed from AVIF_QUANTIZER_LOSSLESS (0) to AVIF_QUANTIZER_WORST_QUALITY (63). The behavior changed if minQuantizer and maxQuantizer are left initialized to the default values. Code should be updated to set the quality member. Similarly for the alpha quantizers and qualityAlpha.
• avifImageRGBToYUV() and avifImageYUVToRGB() handle avifImage bit depths 8, 10, 12 and now also 16. Files read by apps/shared/ can output 16-bit avifImage instances.

• Update zlibpng.cmd: zlib 1.2.13 and libpng 1.6.39
• avifImageCreate(), avifImageCreateEmpty(), avifEncoderCreate() and other internal functions now return NULL if a memory allocation failed.
• avifEncoderSetCodecSpecificOption() now returns avifResult instead of void to report memory allocation failures.
• At decoding, avifIOStats now returns the same values as at encoding.
• avifRGBImageAllocatePixels(), avifRWDataRealloc(), avifRWDataSet(), avifImageSetProfileICC(), avifImageSetMetadataExif() and avifImageSetMetadataXMP() now return avifResult instead of void to report memory allocation failures.
• avifReadImage(), avifJPEGRead() and avifPNGRead() now remove the trailing zero byte from read XMP chunks, if any. See avifImageFixXMP().
• Force keyframe for alpha if color is a keyframe.
• Write primaries and transfer characteritics info in decoded PNG.
• Add support for reading PNG gAMA, cHRM and sRGB chunks.
• The ‘mode’ member of the avifImageMirror struct was renamed ‘axis’.
• Change the type of the ‘depth’ parameter from int to uint32_t in avifFullToLimitedY(), avifFullToLimitedUV(), avifLimitedToFullY(), and avifLimitedToFullUV().
