+ vwebp's -help output
this is a future option; missed in:
793368e restore decode API compatibility
Change-Id: If920df2cf8de57ebad93a6b98830562149396d8d
new options:
dwebp -alpha_dither
vwebp -noalphadither
When the source was marked as quantized, we use a threshold-averaging
filter to smooth the decoded alpha plane.
Note: this option forces the decoding of alpha data in one pass, and
might slow the decoding a bit.
The new field in WebPDecoderOptions struct is 'alpha_dithering_strength'
(0 by default, means: off). Max strength value is '100'.

* allow reading from stdin for dwebp / vwebp
* allow writing to stdout for gif2webp
by introducing a new function ExUtilReadFromStdin()
Example use: cat in.webp | dwebp -o - -- - > out.png
Note that the '-- -' option must appear *last*
(as per general fashion for '--' option parsing)

These are presets for lossless coding, similar to zlib.
The shortcut for lossless coding is now, e.g.:
cwebp -z 5 in.png -o out_lossless.webp
There are 10 possible values for -z parameter:
0 (fastest, lowest compression)
to 9 (slowest, best compression)
A reasonable tradeoff is -z 6, e.g.
-z 9 can be quite slow, so use with care.
This -z option is just a shortcut for some pre-defined
'-lossless -m xx -q yy' combinations.

New API options: WebPDecoderOptions.flip and 'dwebp -flip ...'
it uses negative stride trick.
Also changed the decoder code to support user-supplied
buffers with negative stride, independently of the
WebPDecoderOptions.flip value.

from man-pages (7):
provides a comma-separated list of related man pages, ordered by section
number and then alphabetically by name, possibly followed by other
related pages or documents. Do not terminate this with a period.

this enables webpmux to accept input files starting with '-' when using
-get/-set/-strip; -info & -frame expect an input file as one of their
parameters so no changes are necessary there.

This is to discourage generation of animated WebP images with ICC
profile, as
the real-world use-case for such images is rare at best.
Output of ICC/XMP metadata is now controlled by the '-metadata' option.

Even at high quality setting, the U/V quantizer step is limited
to 4 which can lead to banding on gradient.
This option allows to selectively apply some randomness to
potentially flattened-out U/V blocks and attenuate the banding.
This option is off by default in 'dwebp', but set to -dither 50
by default in 'vwebp'.
Note: depending on the number of blocks selectively dithered,
we can have up to a 10% slow-down in decoding speed it seems.

When '-mixed' option is given, each frame would be heuristically chosen
to be
encoded using lossy or lossless compression.
The heuristic is based on the number of colors in the image:
- If num_colors <= 31, pick lossless compression
- If num_colors >= 194, pick lossy compression
- Otherwise, try both and pick the one that compresses better.

-> helps debanding (sky, gradients, etc.)
This dithering can only be triggered when using -preset photo
or -pre 2 (as a preprocessing). Everything is unchanged otherwise.
Note that this change is likely to make the perceived PSNR/SSIM drop
since we're altering the input internally.

We use the 'do not blend' option for creating independent frames.
We also mark the already independent frames as 'do not blend'.
This bounds the maximum number of frames that need to be decoded to
decode a given frame, thus leading to a much better decoding performance.

Doesn't work with WIC
+ redirect some info messages from stdout to stderr
+ fix the error reporting upon output-writing error
Change-Id: I92b8bd7a15e656a3f3cdfbf56299f024e39453f8
new option: -blend_alpha 0xrrggbb
also: don't force picture.use_argb value for lossless. Instead,
delay the YUVA<->ARGB conversion till WebPEncode() is called.
This make the blending more accurate when source is ARGB
and lossy compression is used (YUVA).
This has an effect on cropping/rescaling. E.g. for PNG, these
are now done in ARGB colorspace instead of YUV when lossy compression
is used.

using token-buffer (that is: slightly more memory. O(output_size))
This change is ON by default. To return to previous behaviour, use
'cwebp -low_memory' or set config.low_memory to true.
Side-effect of this new mode: it forces 1 partition only (which was
default anyway), and makes some statistics about the bitstream
no longer available. cwebp will no longer report 'intra4-coeffs', etc.
This mode also doesn't work (yet) with multi-pass, and -low_memory
is currently forced for multi-pass.
also: reversed the flag: USE_TOKEN_BUFFER -> DISABLE_TOKEN_BUFFER
also: fixed the kAverageBytesPerMB estimate
Change-Id: I4ea80382038d6df4309663e0cb7bd88d9bca9cf1
new option: 'cwebp -mt ...'
new config flag: config.thread_level
(allowed thread_level are 0 or 1 for now. Maybe more later...)
If -mt is activated (and WEBP_USE_THREAD is used for compile), the alpha-compression
will be done in parallel to RGB coding for lossy. Can save quite a bit of latency...
Has no effect for lossless encoding.

This option remaps internal parameters to better match
the expected compression curve of JPEG and produce output files
of similar size, but with better quality.
Change-Id: I96a1cbb480b1f6a0c6845a23c33dfd63f197b689
It will decode to raw (flat) YUV format, similar to what
cwebp can take as input. Makes the PSNR/SSIM calculation easier.
