image v0.25.4 brings faster WebP decoding, orientation metadata support, fast blur

A new version of image crate has just been released! The highlights of this release are:

There are also some bug fixes to decoding animated APNG and WebP images, and other minor improvements.

Note that orientation from metadata isn't applied automatically when loading the image (yet) because that would be a breaking change. But the API makes correctly handling it very easy. I'm happy with how it came together, and how we managed to implement it without adding any complex dependencies!
