dav1d 1.0.0 'Peregrine falcon'

1.0.0 is a major release of dav1d, adding important features and bug fixes.

It notably changes, in an important way, the way threading works, by adding
an automatic thread management. It also continues the relentless work on
optimizations.

1.0.0 is here, it's great, fast and lean. Great job the team \o/

On the desktop platforms, it improves the performance (up to 10%)
by doing less allocations and adding more optimizations for AVX2 and SSE.

On the ARM platforms, this release brings numerous improvements for ARM32
and notably optimizes most of the 10/12bit bitdepth filters.

dav1d 0.7.1 'Frigatebird' the fast and lean AV1 decoder

This is a minor update of the dav1d decoder, from the 0.7.x branch.

This is a major update of the dav1d, the fast and lean AV1 decoder,
codename 'Frigatebird'.

This release improves, once again, the speed on all platforms.

A rewrite of refmv made an important speed boost on x86 while reducing
RAM usage. It should improve the speed on every platform.

A large number of assembly optimizations went for ARM64 for 8/10/12bit,
a few for x86, notably for film grain and AVX-512 optimizations for CDEF.

dav1d 0.6.0 'Gyrfalcon', the fast and lean AV1 decoder

up to 2.5 times faster than 0.5.2.
It also brings new AVX-512, AVX2 and SSSE3 optimizations and improves
the existing optimizations on all platforms.
Finally, it also fixes some decoder mismatches and minor crashes.

dav1d 0.5.2 'Asiatic Cheetah', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is a minor update of the 0.5.x version of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Asiatic Cheetah'.
It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.

0.5.2 brings improvements in speed for ARMv7 CPUs (a few % speedup), on
top of the already big speedups of 0.5.1. It should also improve the
speed for large videos on all platforms.

It also fixes minor issues, brings stability and introduces an OBU demuxer.
