For questions.

I have a question. Why doesn't your cat appear next to every commit?

[sekrit-twc]

Sadly, Cathub attaches cat pictures to commits by email. Only the sekrit-twc@users.noreply.github.com address from the internal editor triggers cat-ness.

Is api in zimg3.h header gonna be removed or just header renames and numbers removed?
I like api in zimg3.h

I cant compile zimg on x64 with clang 3.7 on ubuntu 14.04 it complains about missing half float instruction or something.

[sekrit-twc]

zimg3.h will be renamed to zimg.h in the release version of 2.0. "zimg2" prefixed functions may be renamed to "zimg", depending on whether not or API v1 compatibility is retained. If you are having intrinsics problems, please configure without "enable-x86simd" which is not currently implemented.

As an aside, Clang is not a regularly tested target, and I believe its intrinsics implementation is non-conforming. GNU C is the officially supported compiler for POSIX platforms.

Which gcc version?

[sekrit-twc]

Travis-CI regularly tests against GCC 5. To my knowledge, GCC 4.8 and 4.9 also work.
