+- 12/19/13: version 0.4.0
+ * improved gif2webp tool
+ * numerous fixes, compression improvement and speed-up
+ * dither option added to decoder (dwebp -dither 50 ...)
+ * improved multi-threaded modes (-mt option)
+ * improved filtering strength determination
+ * New function: WebPMuxGetCanvasSize
+ * BMP and TIFF format output added to 'dwebp'
+ * Significant memory reduction for decoding lossy images with alpha.
+ * Intertwined decoding of RGB and alpha for a shorter
+ time-to-first-decoded-pixel.
+ * WebPIterator has a new member 'has_alpha' denoting whether the frame
+ contains transparency.
+ * Container spec amended with new 'blending method' for animation.
+
+- 6/13/13: version 0.3.1
+ This is a binary compatible release.
+ * Add incremental decoding support for images containing ALPH and ICCP chunks.
+ * Python bindings via swig for the simple encode/decode interfaces similar to
+ Java.
+
+- 3/20/13: version 0.3.0
+ This is a binary compatible release.
+ * WebPINewRGB/WebPINewYUVA accept being passed a NULL output buffer
+ and will perform auto-allocation.
+ * default filter option is now '-strong -f 60'
+ * encoding speed-up for lossy methods 3 to 6
+ * alpha encoding can be done in parallel to lossy using 'cwebp -mt ...'
+ * color profile, metadata (XMP/EXIF) and animation support finalized in the
+ container.
+ * various NEON assembly additions
+ Tool updates / additions:
+ * gif2webp added
+ * vwebp given color profile & animation support
+ * cwebp can preserve color profile / metadata with '-metadata'
+
+- 10/30/12: version 0.2.1
+ * Various security related fixes
+ * cwebp.exe: fix import errors on Windows XP
+ * enable DLL builds for mingw targets
+
+- 8/3/12: version 0.2.0
+ * Add support for ARGB -> YUVA conversion for lossless decoder
+ New functions: WebPINewYUVA, WebPIDecGetYUVA
+ * Add stats for lossless and alpha encoding
+ * Security related hardening: allocation and size checks
+ * Add PAM output support to dwebp
+
+- 7/19/12: version 0.1.99
+ * This is a pre-release of 0.2.0, not an rc to allow for further
+ incompatible changes based on user feedback.
+ * Alpha channel encode/decode support.
+ * Lossless encoder/decoder.
+ * Add TIFF input support to cwebp.
+ Incompatible changes:
+ * The encode ABI has been modified to support alpha encoding.
+ * Deprecated function WebPINew() has been removed.
+ * Decode function signatures have changed to consistently use size_t over
+ int/uint32_t.
+ * decode_vp8.h is no longer installed system-wide.
+ * cwebp will encode the alpha channel if present.
+
+- 9/19/11: version 0.1.3
+ * Advanced decoding APIs.
+ * On-the-fly cropping and rescaling of images.
+ * SSE2 instructions for decoding performance optimizations on x86 based platforms.
+ * Support Multi-threaded decoding.
+ * 40% improvement in Decoding performance.
+ * Add support for RGB565, RGBA4444 & ARGB image colorspace.
+ * Better handling of large picture encoding.
+
+- 3/25/11: version 0.1.2
+ * Incremental decoding: picture can be decoded byte-by-byte if needs be.
+ * lot of bug-fixes, consolidation and stabilization
+
+- 2/23/11: initial release of version 0.1, with the new encoder
+- 9/30/10: initial release version with only the lightweight decoder
