* multi-threading fix (issue #234)
- 10/13/14: version 0.4.2
This is a binary compatible release.
* Android / gcc build fixes
* (Windows) fix reading from stdin and writing to stdout
* gif2webp: miscellaneous fixes
* fix 'alpha-leak' with lossy compression (issue #220)

* NEON assembly additions:
- ~25% faster lossy decode / encode (-m 4)
- ~10% faster lossless decode
- ~5-10% faster lossless encode (-m 3/4)
* dwebp/vwebp can read from stdin
* cwebp/gif2webp can write to stdout
* cwebp can read webp files; useful if storing sources as webp lossless
- 12/19/13: version 0.4.0
* improved gif2webp tool
* numerous fixes, compression improvement and speed-up
* dither option added to decoder (dwebp -dither 50 ...)
* improved multi-threaded modes (-mt option)
* improved filtering strength determination
* New function: WebPMuxGetCanvasSize
