Any plan to release new patch version for libwebp (1.0.4) ? Some downstream package manager port need a version upgrade

[lizhuol...@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm a iOS Developer, our framework which rely on libwebp.

To simplify the usage for all iOS/macOS developers, we build a Xcode project to one-click integrate it into open-source community package manager like Carthage. So we create a repo called libwebp-Xcode.

Recently, Swift Package Manager (another package manager which built-in in Xcode toolchain) support is requested, so we want to add the support as well.

However, previouslly, we always match our libwebp-Xcode release tag the same as Google's libwebp repo. Because the package manager tool like Carthage/SwiftPM always use Git Tag for release version, no customization.

I wonder to know when the date will libwebp 1.0.4 been released, so that we can bump our version as well with the Swift Package Manger support.

Hope for some reply from WebP contributor or maintainer.

Hi,

Yes we plan on making a new release before the end of the year or very
early next year. Lately we've been trying to keep to a 6 month cadence
for releases.

I filed a bug to track this [1].

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

Another problem, can libwebp itself, officially support Swift Package Manager ?

I’ve already inplments it on that fork repo. It’s really easy with just lines of DSL syntax of Swift. See: https://github.com/SDWebImage/libwebp-Xcode/pull/3

If so, we iOS/macOS developer can easily integrate libwebp to project, without that build script and can have a dependency graph for that (prebuilt lib can not work in real world dependency lib situation without a Package Manager)
