| 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(). |

| "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. |
