Hi,

Source and binary archives are available [1]. This release is primarily a bug
fix release with a few minor speedups.

Everyone is encouraged to update. This will be finalized in the next few days
if there aren't any regressions.

From the NEWS file:
- 7/4/2019: version 1.0.3
  This is a binary compatible release.
  * resize fixes for Nx1 sizes and the addition of non-opaque alpha values for
    odd sizes (issues #418, #434)
  * lossless encode/decode performance improvements
  * lossy compression performance improvement at low quality levels with flat
    content (issue #432)
  * python swig files updated to support python 3
  Tool updates:
    vwebp will now preserve the aspect ratio of images that exceed monitor
    resolution by scaling the image to fit (issue #433)

Which of these would be for Chromebooks? Everytime I save a image on my Chromebook it saves as a jpeg but when I send a email it sends the images a binary files. I'm lost and confused.

The linux binaries will work on an x86 chromebook, I don't know if
that helps with the second question.

So I just click and download it and when I go to send emails and attach images they would go back to being attached as jpegs?

These are command line tools to transcode from/to webp and png/jpeg,
etc. You can use dwebp to decode webp files to png and convert those
to jpeg using other utilities.

I really appreciate your help. I'm not familiar with the command lol. I think I will have e to call Google's G-Suite support since I'm a business customer. Thanks again 😁.
