Merge tag 'v3.15.0' into main branch
Release v3.15.0 Quibble Pants
2026-08-25 v3.15.0
This release is ABI compatible with the last release.
This release includes the fixes for all the security issues found by
AI tools recently.
Important build system change: The cmake option ENABLE_APPS was added
to build aomdec and aomenc without building the example programs. The
cmake option ENABLE_EXAMPLES was redefined to build only the example
programs.
- New Features
* Test only: New codec control AV1E_SET_MODE_REF_DELTA_ENABLED for
the encoder to toggle loopfilter mode_ref_delta_enabled.
* New codec option “force-max-q” for the encoder to force the use
of max Q in VBR mode.
* Completed low-complexity decode mode development for VOD video,
and supported HDres (i.e. 720p to 1080p) encoding.
* IntraBC for RTC screen: improvements to allow and speed up this
tool for realtime mode.
- Compression Efficiency Improvements
* Improved the rate allocation among hierarchical layers and luma
and chroma planes.
- Perceptual Quality Improvements
* Improved VMAF metric while maintaining PSNR performance.
- Speedups
* Continued the speed 0 to 3 encoder speed optimizations.
* Improvements to Arm optimizations for convolve and variance
functions.
- Bug Fixes
* Bug 541725398: aom_img_flip: fix chroma height calculation
* Bug 437872594: CONFIG_SHARED=1 produces an .a(rchive) file for

read/write (incomplete fix for issue 503993985 / CVE-2026-56209)
* Bug 525452409: The math and Threads::Threads library dependencies
should not be part of the link interface of the aom shared library

size
* Bug 514816767: aomenc fails assertion check mi->bsize == bsize
* Bug 504613867: Potential heap OOB read in
av1_int_pro_motion_estimation due to stale stride (CVE-2026-13906)
* Bug 503810640: Undefined behavior: NaN-to-int conversion in
aom_noise_model_get_grain_parameters
* Bug 503171639: Heap-buffer-overflow in
av1_update_and_record_txb_context via SVC encoding with mismatched
TXB buffer size
* Bug 505976409: SIGFPE (integer divide-by-zero) in libaom AV1 SVC
encoder
