Hi all:
We define libyami as lightweight media infrastructure, which is YUMMY to your video experience on Linux like platform. We want it have small footprint, fully utilize our hardware capability and have easy to use interface. After 3 years collaboration from both Intel and community, we think libyami fulfilled our original concept ; we will release it as 1.0

Thanks to everyone who contribute to libyami project, without your valuable work. We cannot reach this milestone.

If you are not try libyami yet. You see detailed information at https://github.com/01org/libyami/blob/apache/README

Best Regards.

libyami 0.3.1 release, work with libva 2015Q4 release
=====================
+b frame for h264 encoder
+CBR for h265 encoder
+yamitransocde application, it will do zero copy transcode, much faster than yamiencode
+fix static library link issue
+fix various issue in vaapidisplay, vp8dec, h264enc, h265enc, factory
-transocde application will use default configuration, it did not use user set one.
-if you use latest ffmpeg, vp9 decoder will failed for some clips.mentioned in #347.
    it's not core library's issue. It's a yamidecode's issue.
    You can use ffmpeg 2.6 as workaround.

libyami 0.2.0 release
=====================

features update
---------------
+ add VP9 decoder
+ add VP8 encoder
+ add JPEG encoder
+ add Demux support leverage libavformat,: --enable-avformat
  - yamidecode runs ok when there is no xwindow rendering (-m -1/0)
  - v4l2decode is ok when there is with or w/o rendering
  - support libvaformat from the version installed in Ubuntu13.10
  -            known issue: when there is video rendering, yamidecode blocks at
    XGetWindowAttributes() after libva dlopen(i965_drv).
    Add XInitThreads() make things worse. It is strange.
+ Fps update for "-m -1", we get stable performance data now
+ V4l2 fixes: seek, unconditionally stop
+ enable FFmpeg to use libyami for h264 decoding, create example player to
  demonstrate it, especially on rendering video as texture through dma_buf
  https://github.com/01org/player-ffmpeg-yami

known issues
---------------
- for avformat support in yamidecode,  when there is video rendering,
  yamidecode blocks at XGetWindowAttributes() after libva dlopen(i965_drv).
  Add XInitThreads() make things worse. It is strange.
  v4l2decode doesn't have such issue. (yamidecode is one thread application)

thoughts on libyami (media framework and window system support)
--------------------------------------------------
these points are not our priority yet.

+ Wayland support
  We did a lot to support Wayland before:
  - add Wayland platform support in libva and driver, does hack to
    copy wayland-drm protocol from mesa/egl
  - add Wayland platform in middleware, gstreamer-vaapi for example

  the detects are:
  - so far, only plain rendering is supported: wl_surface_attach/wl_surface_damage;
    texture video rendering is still a gap
  - the shared wl_display/wl_window/wl_event_queue are complex and problematic

  it should be much easier with dma_buf.
  We needn't do anything special for native window system in either vaapi driver or
  codec library. with dma_buf handle exported, application can draw the video
  frame (dma_buf) by EGL/GLES, EGL handle native window system automatically(including
  wrap it into a wl_buffer internally).

+ GStreamer support
  We usually do a lot on hw video buffer sharing in GStreamer, hw video buffer are
  platform dependent, but the framework requires to wrap them in a generic way. we do
  a lot in decoder to wrap a platform dependent handle into a subclass of base
  video buffer, then unwrap it in video sink. and tries best to hide hw detail when
  a sw component request to access the frame data.

  it becomes simple when hw codec support dma_buf, since dma_buf is Linux generic.
  it is possible that hw video become not the 2nd class citizen any more. we don't
  need additional wrapper in decoder side, and we don't need a special video sink
  for each hw video type.

+ dma_buf rendering for legacy support
  in the above ideas, we usually consider EGL/GLES rendering context, how about
  legacy usage? it is simple as well.

  DRI3 protocol support dma_buf, it means a dma_buf handle can be sent to server
  for window update. Keith said mesa is using it, and on server side glamor handle
  the dma_buf. the remaining gap is that YUV buffer hasn't been supported yet, but
  not hard to add it.

libyami 0.1.4 release
=====================

features update
---------------
    -   Additional fixes(most are thread race condition) for v4l2 wrapper (egl/gles)
    -   Add glx support in v4l2 wrapper
    -   Basic transcoding support: encoder test accepts input data from decoder output
    -   Testscript is added, it supports one-run-for-all: with a folder including h264/vp8/jpeg/raw-ref,
        we can test them in one run. It serves as BAT (basic acceptance test) for pull request merge.
    -   Report fps in decode test, support decoding only test (skip rendering)
    -   Vp8/jpeg are supported in v4l2 decoder as well
    -   Decode test can be built/run without X11
    -   Code refinement for decoder test output and encoder classes
    -   dma_buf fixes, when video frame is exported as dma_buf, it renders well as texture
    -   with additional patch for chrome:
        V4L2VDA/V4L2VEA pass chrome video unit test
        video playback in browser draft ok
    -   for v4l2 wrapper, see: https://github.com/halleyzhao/yami-share/blob/master/Yami_V4L2_wrapper_for_Chrome.pdf

known issues
---------------
    -   this release has been fully tested by validation team
    -   some jpeg file similarity <0.99 (~0.98) after decoding
            https://github.com/01org/libyami/issues/108

future release plan:
====================
    Dec: v0.2
        jpeg encoder
        vp9 decoder
        vp8 encoder (depends on driver availability)
        initial ffmpeg support

    Feb'15: v0.3
        unified input/output buffer of yami
        transcoding support with unified input/output buffer
        camera dma_buf support, camera with jpeg input
        use yami in ffmpeg for hw codec

    Future:
        h265 decoder
