A new minor release of dav1d, our AV1 decoder, is out today, focused on optimizations and maintenance.The highlight of this release is RISC-V: the newly optimized functions are between 2.5x and 12x faster than the C code, making decoding at least twice as fast overall on current RISC-V hardware. This release also brings further AArch64 and ARM32 optimizations, support for the Armv9.3-A Guarded Control Stack, an improved threading model and better portability, notably to OS/2.As usual, the source can be found on our GitLab and on our mirrors.
