A major release that brings support for ✨ Webworkers and ✨ Progressive decoding!

  • When web-worker support is available in the browser, PolyFLIF now decodes in a separate worker thread, one for each image. This frees up the main browser thread, preventing UI lock ups. It also improves throughput when multiple CPU cores are available in the system.
  • When web-workers are being used, the image is decoded progressively and previews are shown whenever more than 0.6 seconds have elapsed. (A lot of this will be configurable in the next release.)
  • Lots of fixes and optimisations were done to the preview generation code in upstream repository and merged into PolyFLIF. Some changes are waiting to be merged in upstream FLIF code, but have been merged into this PolyFLIF release.

The next release will be focussed on configurability.
