2023-11-30 v3.8.0
  This release includes new codec interfaces, compression efficiency and
  perceptual improvements, speedup and memory optimizations and many bug
  fixes. This release is ABI compatible with the last release.

        consecutive frame drops allowed for the frame dropper in 1 pass
        CBR mode.
    * Run-time CPU feature detection for all Arm platforms:
      CRC, DotProd, I8MM and SVE CPU feature presence is detected at run
      time and code paths making use of these features are selected
      dynamically. These code paths provide meaningful performance gains
      for standard bitdepth RTC and VoD encoding: up to 10% and 20%
      respectively, over the Armv8.0-A baseline build.
    * RTC: Frame-dropper support added to the rate control library.
    * RTC Rate control improvements for low bitrate and for SVC.

  - Compression Efficiency Improvements
    * Improved accuracy of cost estimation for loop restoration and
      global motion.
    * Improved selection of loop restoration unit size - full search up
      to (non-realtime) speed 2, retuned static selection at higher
      speeds.
    * RTC Screen content mode: 3-5% bdrate gains across speeds 7 - 10.
    * Good-quality mode: 0.2 - 0.5% bdrate gains across speeds 1 - 4.

  - Perceptual Quality Improvements
    * RTC Screen: Improved visual quality for scrolling.
    * RTC: Improved color quality for both screen and video mode.

  - Speedup and Memory Optimizations
    * Good-quality, single-thread encoder speedups:
      o 15% improvement for speed 5.
      o 12% improvement for speed 6.
    * Arm standard bitdepth VoD (--good):
      o 8% speedup for speeds 0 and 1.
      o 20% speedup for speed 2.
      o 27% speedup for speed 3.
      o 30% speedup for speed 4.
      o 38% speedup for speeds 5 and 6.
    * Arm high bitdepth VoD (--good):
      o 206% speedup for speeds 0 and 1.
      o 180% speedup for speed 2.
      o 51% speedup for speeds 3 and 4.
      o 68% speedup for speed 5.
      o 72% speedup for speed 6.
    * RTC Screen content: 2-6% speedup across speeds 7-10.
    * RTC: 2-3% speedup for temporal layers.
    * RTC: Speedups to reference scaling in nonrd pickmode.
    * Good-quality mode: Simplified global motion estimation, saving
      ~1200 lines of code and 1KB of tables while improving quality.

  - Bug Fixes
    * Fixes to improve libaom stability in case of memory allocation
      failures.
    * Fixes to SIMD functions (x86 AVX2/SSE2 and ARM Neon).
    * b/310457427, b/310766628: Bug fixes to only use rec_sse in CBR
      mode.

Log message:
libaom: updated to 3.4.0

v3.4.0
This release includes compression efficiency and perceptual quality
improvements, speedup and memory optimizations, and some new features.
There are no ABI or API breaking changes in this release.

- New Features
  * New --dist-metric flag with "qm-psnr" value to use quantization
    matrices in the distortion computation for RD search. The default
    value is "psnr".
  * New command line option "--auto-intra-tools-off=1" to make
    all-intra encoding faster for high bit rate under
    "--deltaq-mode=3" mode.
  * New rate control library aom_av1_rc for real-time hardware
    encoders. Supports CBR for both one spatial layer and SVC.
  * New image format AOM_IMG_FMT_NV12 can be used as input to the
    encoder. The presence of AOM_IMG_FMT_NV12 can be detected at
    compile time by checking if the macro AOM_HAVE_IMG_FMT_NV12 is
    defined.
  * New codec controls for the encoder:
    o AV1E_SET_AUTO_INTRA_TOOLS_OFF. Only in effect if
      --deltaq-mode=3.
    o AV1E_SET_RTC_EXTERNAL_RC
    o AV1E_SET_FP_MT. Only supported if libaom is built with
      -DCONFIG_FRAME_PARALLEL_ENCODE=1.
    o AV1E_GET_TARGET_SEQ_LEVEL_IDX
  * New key-value pairs for the key-value API:
    o --auto-intra-tools-off=0 (default) or 1. Only in effect if
      --deltaq-mode=3.
    o --strict-level-conformance=0 (default) or 1
    o --fp-mt=0 (default) or 1. Only supported if libaom is built
      with -DCONFIG_FRAME_PARALLEL_ENCODE=1.
  * New aomenc options (not supported by the key-value API):
    o --nv12

- Compression Efficiency Improvements
  * Correctly calculate SSE for high bitdepth in skip mode, 0.2% to
    0.6% coding gain.
  * RTC at speed 9/10: BD-rate gain of ~4/5%
  * RTC screen content coding: many improvements for real-time screen
    at speed 10 (quality, speedup, and rate control), up to high
    resolutions (1080p).
  * RTC-SVC: fixes to make intra-only frames work for spatial layers.
  * RTC-SVC: quality improvements for temporal layers.
  * AV1 RT: A new passive rate control strategy for screen content, an
    average of 7.5% coding gain, with some clips of 20+%. The feature
    is turned off by default due to higher bit rate variation.

- Perceptual Quality Improvements
  * RTC: Visual quality improvements for high speeds (9/10)
  * Improvements in coding quality for all intra mode

- Speedup and Memory Optimizations
  * ~10% speedup in good quality mode encoding.
  * ~7% heap memory reduction in good quality encoding mode for speed
    5 and 6.
  * Ongoing improvements to intra-frame encoding performance on Arm
  * Faster encoding speed for "--deltaq-mode=3" mode.
  * ~10% speedup for speed 5/6, ~15% speedup for speed 7/8, and
    ~10% speedup for speed 9/10 in real time encoding mode
  * ~20% heap memory reduction in still-picture encoding mode for
    360p-720p resolutions with multiple threads
  * ~13% speedup for speed 6 and ~12% speedup for speed 9 in
    still-picture encoding mode.
  * Optimizations to improve multi-thread efficiency for still-picture
    encoding mode.
