| 2021-05-03 v3.1.0 | |
| This release adds an "all intra" mode to the encoder, which significantly | |
| speeds up the encoding of AVIF still images at speed 6. | |
| - Upgrading: | |
| All intra mode for encoding AVIF still images and AV1 all intra videos: | |
| AOM_USAGE_ALL_INTRA (2) can be passed as the 'usage' argument to | |
| aom_codec_enc_config_default(). | |
| New encoder control IDs added: | |

| prediction modes (0: false, 1: true (default)). Also available as | |
| "enable-diagonal-intra" for the aom_codec_set_option() function. | |
| New aom_tune_metric enum value: AOM_TUNE_BUTTERAUGLI. The new aomenc option | |
| --tune=butteraugli was added to optimize the encoder's perceptual quality by | |
| optimizing the Butteraugli metric. Install libjxl (JPEG XL) and then pass | |
| -DCONFIG_TUNE_BUTTERAUGLI=1 to the cmake command to enable it. | |
