[Jerome Jiang]

Hello everyone,

libvpx v1.15.0 Wigeon Duck is finalized.
Here's the release note.

Thanks.

Release Note

This release includes new codec control for key frame filtering, more Neon
optimizations, improvements to RTC encoding and bug fixes.

This release is available from the git repository and the v1.15.0 tarball, along

with the asc file.

• Upgrading:
• This release is ABI compatible with the previous release.
• Temporal filtering improvement that can be turned on with the new codec
  control VP9E_SET_KEY_FRAME_FILTERING, which gives 1+% BD-rate saving with minimal encoder time increase.
• libwebm is upgraded to libwebm-1.0.0.31-10-g3b63004
• Enhancement:
• Neon optimization speed up
• 1-3% speed up across speed 5 to 10 for RTC
• 3% speed up for speed 0 and 1 for VoD in standard bitdepth
• 3% and 7% speed up for speed 0 and 1 respectively for VoD in high bitdepth
• Scene detection is allowed for all RTC speeds (>=5)
• Support profile guided optimizations
• Delta quantization parameters for UV channels for vp8 is supported in RTC
  rate control library
• Rate control parameters are reset and maximum QP is enforced on scene
  changes in SVC when there is no inter-layer prediction
• Bug fixes:
• Fix to Uninitialized scalar variable in `vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sb()`
• Fix to Integer-overflow in `resize_multistep`
• Fix to Heap-buffer-overflow in `vpx_sad64x64_avx2`

• Fix to Integer-overflow in `encode_frame_to_data_rate`
• Fix to Integer-overflow in `vp9_svc_check_reset_layer_rc_flag`
• Fix to core dump error from /usr/bin/tools/tiny_ssim --help
• Fix to use-of-uninitialized-value in `vp9_setup_tpl_stats`
• Fix to Undefined-shift in `vp9_cyclic_refresh_setup`
• Fix to redundant `&& __GNUC__` preproc check
• Fix to valgrind warning in EncodeAPI.OssFuzz69906
• Fix to Index-out-of-bounds in `vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode`
• Fix to Integer-overflow in `vp8_pick_frame_size`
• Fix to Use-of-uninitialized-value in `vpx_codec_peek_stream_info`
• Fix to log clutters with the message "Warning: Desired height too large"
• Fix to Integer-overflow in `vp9_svc_adjust_avg_frame_qindex`
• Fix to integer overflows caused by huge target bitrate, frame rate, or
  g_timebase numerator or denominator
• Fix to missing license headers
• Fix to build failure for Android Armv7
• Fix to integer overflows in image helpers
• Fix to Integer-overflow in `vp9_calc_iframe_target_size_one_pass_cbr`
• Fix to Heap-buffer-overflow in `vp9_pick_inter_mode`
