You can now use WebPDecBuffer, WebPBitstreamFeatures and WebPDecoderOptions
to have better control over the decoding process (and the speed/quality tradeoff).
WebPDecoderOptions allow to:
- turn fancy upsampler on/off
- turn in-loop filter on/off
- perform on-the-fly cropping
- perform on the-fly rescale
(and more to come. Not all features are implemented yet).
On-the-fly cropping and scaling allow to save quite some memory
(as the decoding operation will now scale with the output's size, not
the input's one). It saves some CPU too (since for instance,
in-loop filtering is partially turned off where it doesn't matter,
and some YUV->RGB conversion operations are ommitted too).
The scaler uses summed area, so is mainly meant to be used for
downscaling (like: for generating thumbnails or previews).
Incremental decoding works with these new options.
More doc to come soon.
dwebp is now using the new decoding interface, with the new flags:
-nofancy
-nofilter
-crop top left width height
-scale width height
Change-Id: I08baf2fa291941686f4ef70a9cc2e4137874e85e
+ add a simple rescaling function: WebPPictureRescale() for encoding
+ clean-up the memory managment around the alpha plane
+ fix some includes path by using "../webp/xxx.h" instead of "webp/xxx.h"
New flags for 'cwebp':
-resize <width> <height>
-444 (no effect)
-422 (no effect)
-400

This is a (minor) bitstream change: if the 'color_space' bit is set to '1'
(which is normally an undefined/invalid behaviour), we add extra data at the
end of partition #0 (so-called 'extensions')
Namely, we add the size of the extension data as 3 bytes (little-endian),
followed by a set of bits telling which extensions we're incorporating.
The data then _preceeds_ this trailing tags.
This is all experimental, and you'll need to have
'#define WEBP_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES' in webp/types.h to enable this code
(at your own risk! :))
Still, this hack produces almost-valid WebP file for decoders that don't
check this color_space bit. In particular, previous 'dwebp' (and for instance
Chrome) will recognize this files and decode them, but without the alpha
of course. Other decoder will just see random extra stuff at the end of
partition #0.
To experiment with the alpha-channel, you need to compile on Unix platform
and use PNGs for input/output.
If 'alpha.png' is a source with alpha channel, then you can try (on Unix):
cwebp alpha.png -o alpha.webp
dwebp alpha.webp -o test.png
cwebp now has a '-noalpha' flag to ignore any alpha information from the
source, if present.
More hacking and experimenting welcome!

For now, SSE2 functions are compiled a-minima: only on platforms
where __SSE2__ is defined. Let's later add some autoconf-based
config to enable/disable at will.
One can disable SSE2 at run-time by hooking-up VP8GetInfo.
There is a new option "-noasm" in cwebp for that.
Output should be binary the same between C and SSE2 version. If not,
that's a bug!

going down to strict -ansi c89 is quite overkill (no 'inline',
and /* */-style comments).
But with these fixes, the code compiles with the stringent flags:
-Wextra -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations and -Wdeclaration-after-statement

The object WebPIDecoder is available to store the
decoding state. The flow is typically:
WebPIDecoder* const idec = WebPINew(mode);
while (has_more_data) {
// ... (get additional data)
status = WebPIAppend(idec, new_data, new_data_size);
if (status != VP8_STATUS_SUSPENDED ||
break;
}
// The above call decodes the current available buffer.
// Part of the image can now be refreshed by calling to
// WebPIDecGetRGB()/WebPIDecGetYUV() etc.
}
WebPIDelete(idec);
Doing so, one can try and decode new macroblocks everytime fresh
bytes are available.
There's two operating modes: either appending fresh bytes, or
updating the whole buffer with additional data in the end.
The latter requires less memcpy()'s
