Our fourth named release, focused on performance and features related to real-time encoding. It also fixes a decoder crash bug introduced in v0.9.7, so all users of that release are encouraged to upgrade.
- Upgrading:
This release is ABI incompatible with prior releases of libvpx, so the "major" version number has been bumped to 1. You must recompile your applications against the latest version of the libvpx headers. The API remains compatible, and this should not require code changes in most applications.
- Enhancements:
This release introduces several substantial new features to the encoder, of particular interest to real time streaming applications.
Temporal scalability allows the encoder to produce a stream that can be decimated to different frame rates, with independent rate targetting for each substream.
Multiframe quality enhancement postprocessing can make visual quality more consistent in the presence of frames that are substantially different quality than the surrounding frames, as in the temporal scalability case and in some forced keyframe scenarios.
Multiple-resolution encoding support allows the encoding of the same content at different resolutions faster than encoding them separately.
- Speed:
Optimization targets for this release included the decoder and the real-time modes of the encoder. Decoder speed on x86 has improved 10.5% with this release. Encoder improvements followed a curve where speeds 1-3 improved 4.0%-1.5%, speeds 4-8 improved <1%, and speeds 9-16 improved 1.5% to 10.5%, respectively. "Best" mode speed is consistent with the Cayuga release.
- Quality:
Encoder quality in the single stream case is consistent with the Cayuga release.
- Bug Fixes:
This release fixes an OOB read decoder crash bug present in v0.9.7 related to the clamping of motion vectors in SPLITMV blocks. This behavior could be triggered by corrupt input or by starting decoding from a P-frame.
This release of AMD Catalyst Linux introduces support for the following new operating systems
SLED 11 SP2 early look support

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the following significant features:
Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer sound cards to professional multichannel audio interfaces.
Fully modularized sound drivers.
SMP and thread-safe design.
User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming and provide higher level functionality.
Support for the older Open Sound System (OSS) API, providing binary compatibility for most OSS programs.
* ~10% performance improvement using the new LLVM-based CUDA compiler.
* Over 1000 new imaging and signal processing functions added to the NVIDIA Performance Primitives library. If you do image processing, NPP has a GPU accelerated function for you.
* Completely re-designed Visual Profiler with a new automated expert system to give you step-by-step performance optimizations.
Added wheel texture for car1-ow1 for simple wheel rendering mode (Bernhard).
Fixed simuv2 Makefile, parallel builds are now possible in Posix systems (e.g. MAKE="make -j 8" make). Because libsolid is a static library it must be built before simuv2, defined explicit dependency (Bernhard).
Fixed missing dependency in VS 2008 solution (human requires client for input handling) (Bernhard).
Changes since 1.3.2-test1
Added menu music code (finally!!!) (Bernhard).
Composed and added a menu song (Bernhard).
Added menu music customization (currently just enable/disable) (Bernhard).
Replaced sprintf's with snprintf's in lib (Bernhard).

Report #3405193, added torcs.desktop file provided by Jakob Matthes (Jakob, Bernhard).
Report #3089384, applied/tested patch for CVE-2010-3384, reported/provided by Rudy Godoy (Rudy, Bernhard).
Report #2887013, applied/tested patch reported by paletta (paletta, Bernhard).
Report #2784518, applied/tested, provided by Hamid Homatash (Hamid, Bernhard).
Fixed possible buffer overflow reported by Andres Gomez (Andres, Bernhard).
Fixed libpng deprication warnings (Bernhard).
Updated windows libraries: libpng 1.5.7, zlib 1.2.5, plib 1.8.5 (Bernhard).
Switched Windows VS 6 build to link with the multithreaded crt (Bernhard).
Added libraries for VS2008 build (Bernhard).
Developed/added VS 2008 project files (Bernhard).
Applied patch for OpenSolaris 2009.06, created by Andrey Sokolov (Andrey, Bernhard).
Fixed various gcc compiler warnings (Bernhard).
Consider deadzone for analogue axis, e.g. wheels, joysticks, gamepads (Bernhard).
Fixed center calibration for steer axis (Bernhard).
Use plibjs instead of internal header (Bernhard).
Adopted available axis for controllers (Bernhard).
Just update view once per 2 seconds simulation time (in blind mode) to avoid slowdown with graphics cards which are bad in buffer switching (e.g. ATI fglrx driver on Linux), this speeds up blind practice sessions as well a lot on other graphics cards (Bernhard).
Changes since 1.3.1
Fixed remaining const char* gcc 4.3 warnings (Bernhard).
Just load ssggraph once to avoid weird crashes when going back to the options menu and coming back to the race (just Linux was affected, the Windows version does not work the same way regarding this) (Bernhard).
Applied corrections suggested by Kim Oldfield to the robot tutorial (Kim, Bernhard).
Adopted TRB result submission for 1.3.1 (Bernhard).
Adopted TRB result submission for new PHP DOM version (Bernhard).
Fixed minor TRB bug which showed/labeled links to signin/remove teams during the race phase (Bernhard).

Adjustments to car3-trb1 to make it more competitive (Bernhard).
Added new car8-trb1 (Bernhard).
Reduce front car advantage in slipstreaming scenarios (Bernhard).
Ground effect drop off more dramatic when airflow comes sideways, no ground effect anymore when driving reverse (Bernhard).
Increased Cd (drag coefficient) for car1-trb1 (Bernhard).
Improved efficiency of pit wall collision detection (Bernhard).
Applied Erics explicit wheel model code with some modifications: in the cars "Graphic Objects" section you can define "3d wheel directory" (e.g. "mywheel-1") and "3d wheel basename" (e.g. "mywheel"), then TORCS tries to load "wheels/mywheel-1/mywheel?.acc", where ? is 0..3 for different rotation rates. Later we could also move the wheel only specific simulation properties into an xml belonging to the wheel (Eric, Bernhard).
Do not try to load wheels when configuration is missing (Bernhard).
Added Erics wheels for sc-f1 with modified texture/configuration (Eric, Bernhard).
Fixed wrong scaling of steering input display (Bernhard).

Created new category ow1, moved sc-f* to car1-ow1 (Bernhard).
Adopted Windows port to changes (car categories, wheels, etc.) (Bernhard).
Bumped version to 1.3.2-test1 (Bernhard).
Created 6 new wheels trb1-1 to trb1-6 (Bernhard).
Adopted new wheels to trb1/3 cars (Bernhard).
Added graphic option to switch off/on detailed wheels, they seem to use quite some performance (Bernhard).
Adjusted graphics defaults to higher levels (FOV, skidmarks) (Bernhard).
