* ## Build / CI
* requires C++20
* oss-fuzz integration overhauled
* fuzzers for tile API, generic API surface, and per-codec encoders
- update to 1.21.2:
* build script for JS/WASM now supports building with JPEG2000 and 'ISO23001-17 Uncompressed' support.
* image sequence SAI data now works when using the OpenH264 decoder plugin
- update to 1.21.1:
* This patch release only fixes a build error with some GCC versions because of a missing #include.
- update to 1.21.0:
* This release adds full support for reading and writing HEIF image sequences. libheif will now encode HEIF image sequences with all included codecs.
* Since HEIF image sequences are very similar to MP4 videos, this new version is also capable of decoding most MP4 videos (without audio, of course).
* heif-enc documentation for sequence encoding
* API documentation for reading and writing sequences
* Support for image sequences with alpha channels. For most codecs, the alpha channel will be stored in a separate, auxiliary, monochrome track. For ISO/IEC 23001-17 (uncompressed) streams, the alpha channel is stored in the main video track.
* Support for sequence track edit lists to define the number of sequence repetitions (without actually repeating the video data).
* New encoder plugin using x264 to write H.264-compressed video streams and images.
* The FFmpeg decoder plugin will now decode both H.265 and H.264.
* Support for HEIF text items and language properties.
* CVEs fixed: CVE-2025-68431
- update to 1.20.2:
- When opening tiled images, do not check against maximum image size immediately to allow for tile-based decoding of very large images.
- Several smaller fixes in writing image sequences
- CMake option to disable building of heif-view, which pulls in dependency on SDL
- Fixes reading/writing of GIMI content IDs
- Some build fixes
- Remove conditionals for openh264, we can build against noopenh264
- update to 1.20.1:
- Fixes a bug in decoder plugin loading.
- Changes from 1.20.0:
- Sequences:
- API for reading and writing image sequences. You can read and write sequences for all codecs (not just H.265 / AV1, but also JPEG-2000, ISO-23001-17 uncompressed, ...). Currently only intra-coded sequences are supported.
- API for reading and writing metadata sequences. The metadata tracks can contain any raw timed data.
- Support for SAI (sample auxiliary information). Timed samples (from image sequences or metadata) can have auxiliary data attached. Currently we support TAI timestamps and GIMI content description IDs.
- Support for track references.
- The API for sequences is described here:
https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/wiki/Reading-and-Writing-Sequences
- New command line tool heif-view to show HEIF sequences (requires libSDL).
- Other new features:
- You can specify a security limit for the maximum total memory libheif may use for decoding. This is easier to handle than specifying limits on the maximum image size or single memory allocations.
- Support for TAI timestamps (in images and sequences) has been promoted from experimental to stable.
- FFMPEG plugin now supports HDR decoding
- Header files are now split into individual headers by topic.
However, it should still be backwards compatible with heif.h being a catch-all covering the old content. For new functionality (sequences, TAI), you will need to include the specific headers.
- All struct names of the API are now also typedefs.
- add build requires for brotli which it looks for since 1.18
- prepare building heif-view
- update to 1.19.8:
* Set essential flag for transformative properties as required by MIAF. This fixes the display of AVIF images with transformations encoded by libheif in Chrome, which checks whether this flag is set. This mainly affected images encoded by ImageMagick.
* If the environment variable LIBHEIF_SECURITY_LIMITS is set to OFF, libheif will not check any security limits. This can be used if a user works with large images and the application software does not allow to adjust the libheif security limits.
* Resolved processing 16-bit JPEG-2000
- update to 1.19.7:
* Fixes a build error with SVT-AV1 encoder plugin when using reduced symbol visibility
- update to 1.19.6:
* C++ and Go wrapper licenses have been changed to MIT
* supports SVT-AV1 v3.0.0 encoder
* support emscripten builds for ES6 modules
- Use correct license (these were changed in 2018)
- Ensure Name: is conditionalized for the multibuild flavors to not overwrite the .src.rpm (which is a processed .spec) and to allow OBS to properly distinguish them flavors.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
