dav1d 0.7.0 'Frigatebird' the fast and lean AV1 decoder

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

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

0.6.0 brings major improvements in 10/12bit decoding on ARMv8 CPUs,
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.

dav1d 0.5.1 'Asiatic Cheetah', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is a minor update of the 0.5.0 version of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Asiatic Cheetah'.

It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.

0.5.1 brings improvements in speed for SSE2 CPUs (up to 50% speedup), and
ARMv7 CPUs (up to 41% speedup).
It also fixes minor issues and minor speed improvements for other
architectures.

dav1d 0.5.0 'Asiatic Cheetah', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the fifth major release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Asiatic Cheetah'.
It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.

0.5.0 brings large improvements in speed on SSSE3 CPU (up to 40% speedup),
new speed improvements on AVX-2 (for 4-7%) and ARM64 (up to 10%) and ARM32.
It introduces some VSX, SSE2 and SSE4 optimizations.

0.5.0 fixes some minor issues, can export ITU T.35 metadata and improves
the player example.

dav1d 0.4.0 'Cheetah', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the fourth major release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Cheetah'.
It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.

0.4.0 brings large improvements in speed on ARM64 (up to 25% speedup) and minor
improvements on SSE and ARM. It also improves the RAM usage quite significantly,
sometimes more than halving the RAM used.

dav1d 0.3.1 'Sailfish', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is a small bugfix release fixing a decoding issue on SSSE3 CPU,
when frame-threading is activated.

It also reduces the binary size and gives more optimizations for SSSE3
and ARM CPUs.

dav1d 0.3.0 'Sailfish', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the third major release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Sailfish'.

It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.
0.3.0 brings large improvements in speed on ARM64 (15% speedup) and SSSE3
(more than 12% fps increase) and even manages to gain around 5% on the already
fast AVX-2 implementation.

dav1d 0.2.2 'Antelope', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the fourth release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Antelope'.
It supports all the AV1 features and all bitdepths.

0.2.2 brings large improvements in speed on ARM64 and SSE3 (more than
10% speed increase) and even manages to gain around 5% on the already
fast AVX-2 implementation.

dav1d 0.2.1 'Antelope', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the second release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Antelope'.

It still supports all AV1 features and all bitdepths, from 8 to 12bits,
and decodes more samples than before.

While still being the fastest decoder on AVX-2 CPUs, dav1d is now also
faster on ARM, ARM64 and SSSE3 CPUs in normal loads.
0.2.x is around 2x/2.5x faster on SSSE3 and achieves 1080p at 80fps
on an iPhone XS

0.2.1 is a small bugfix release above 0.2.0 to fix build issues, and
increase a bit the speed of SSSE3

dav1d 0.2.0 'Antelope', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the second release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Antelope'.
It still supports all AV1 features and all bitdepths, from 8 to 12bits,
and decodes more samples than before.
While still being the fastest decoder on AVX-2 CPUs, dav1d is now also
faster on ARM, ARM64 and SSSE3 CPUs in normal loads.

0.2.0 is around 2x/2.5x faster on SSSE3 and achieves 1080p at 80fps
on an iPhone XS

dav1d 0.1.0 'Gazelle', the fast and small AV1 decoder

This is the first release of dav1d, the fast and small AV1 decoder,
codename 'Gazelle'.

It supports all AV1 features and all bitdepths, from 8 to 12bits.
It is very fast compared to other AV1 decoders on AVX-2 processors.

It has already SSSE3 and NEON code for other processors, and will get a
lot more of those optimizations in the future.
