Dav2d

AV1 had dav1d. AV2 gets dav2d. A codec does not really exist until everyone can decode it.
Today, we announce dav2d, a fast decoder for the new AV2 codec, developed by members of the VideoLAN community.
A few weeks ago, we opened the repository and started development in public. Since then, AV2 itself has reached its first official specification release, making this a good moment to explain what dav2d is, why we started it, and where the project stands today.
