"Duclair," the fourth named release of the VP8 Codec SDK (libvpx), is now available. You can download the Duclair libvpx snapshot (version 1.0.0) from our Downloads page or clone it from our Git repository.

This release fixes a decoder crash bug introduced in Cayuga (v0.9.7), so we encourage all Cayuga users to upgrade.
