The Alliance For Open Media on Wednesday released libavif 1.4, the latest version of this reference library for encoding and decoding AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) content.
This official AVIF encode/decode library continues being rounded out with more features and improvements. In libavif 1.4 there is now support for converting JPEG files with Apple-style gain maps, supporting some Sample Transform schemes defined by the AVIF v1.2 specification, support for dealing with PNG cICP chunks, support reading Sample-Transform-based 16-bit AVIF files, and various other improvements.
The AVIF encoder “avifenc” is also now able to read PNG and JPEG files from the standard input plus there are a few other options added.
Downloads and more details on the updated libavif 1.4 release via GitHub.
