I think the number of messages per day is now also limited because small things don't seem important enough for a combined thread. With split threads I would report way more often about small changes in dav1d performance, SVT-AV1's troubles with Open Source and rav1e and aom related news. Now it just doesn't seem important enough to report on in a general thread.
For example:
- Henrik Gramner just made some really interesting optimizations to dav1d's msac function in MR696 and MR697, resulting in about 1.5% faster performance on all x86-64 platforms. Martin Storsjö (wbs) is working on adding the same improvements with NEON for Arm64.
- dav1d just got a logo
- For benchmarking purposed, dav1d now can be run at fixed frame rates
- SVT-AV1 just reduced memory usage by 30 to 70 percent
- Someone is working on a decoder in SVT-AV1
- Some effort is made to get SVT-AV1's development process more transparant and compliant with open source practices in this issue
