libvdpau-1.1.1

libvdpau versions 1.1 and earlier, when used in setuid or setgid applications, contain vulnerabilities related to environment variable handling that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or overwrite arbitrary files. See CVE-2015-5198, CVE-2015-5199, and CVE-2015-5200 for more details.

This release uses the secure_getenv() function, when available, to fix these problems. On platforms where secure_getenv() is not available, libvdpau will use a fallback implementation.

If you use the NVIDIA .run installer packages, please see https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/873035 for additional information.

This release also adds tracing of HEVC picture structures to libvdpau_trace.

libvdpau-1.1

This release fixes a bug in the new VdpPictureInfoHEVC structure: the column_width_minus1 and row_height_minus1 arrays had the wrong dimensions. To avoid the incorrect structure being used, the profile numbers for the HEVC profiles have been changed. Please use the new profiles rather than the ones from libvdpau 1.0. I apologize for the inconvenience!

libvdpau-1.0

NOTE: This version contained a bug in the new VdpPictureInfoHEVC structure. Please use the latest release instead!

This release adds support for the following HEVC / H.265 profiles:

• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_HEVC_MAIN
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_HEVC_MAIN_10
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_HEVC_MAIN_STILL
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_HEVC_MAIN_12
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_HEVC_MAIN_444

libvdpau-0.9

This release adds several new decoder profiles:

• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_EXTENDED
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_PROGRESSIVE_HIGH
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED_HIGH
• VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_HIGH_444_PREDICTIVE

In addition, this release includes a number of packaging and compiler warning
fixes and clarifies the ABI policy to include the size of the data structures
defined in vdpau.h. It also fixes a race condition that could be triggered when
two threads call VdpDeviceCreateX11 simultaneously.

libvdpau-0.8

This release fixes an incorrect type for VdpPictureInfo and adds an environment variable, VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH, which can be used to override the default search path that the library uses to find its backend driver libraries.
