        - Frame dropping in SVC.
    . VP9E_SET_SVC_INTER_LAYER_PRED:
        - Inter-layer prediction in SVC.
    . VP9E_SET_SVC_GF_TEMPORAL_REF:
        - Enable long term temporal reference in SVC.
    . VP9E_SET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG/VP9E_GET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG:
        - Extend and improve this control for better flexibility in setting SVC
          pattern dynamically.
    . VP9E_SET_POSTENCODE_DROP:
        - Allow for post-encode frame dropping (applies to non-SVC too).
    . VP9E_SET_SVC_SPATIAL_LAYER_SYNC:
        - Enable spatial layer sync frames.
    . VP9E_SET_SVC_LAYER_ID:
        - Extend api to specify temporal id for each spatial layers.
    . VP9E_SET_ROI_MAP:
        - Extend Region of Interest functionality to VP9.

    . 2 pass vp9 encoding has improved substantially. When using
      --auto-alt-ref=6, we see approximately 8% for VBR and 10% for CQ.
      When using --auto-alt-ref=1, the gains are approximately 4% for
      VBR and 5% for CQ.
    . For real-time encoding, speed 7 has improved by ~5-10%. Encodes
      targeted at screen sharing have improved when the content changes
      significantly (slide sharing) or scrolls. There is a new speed 9
      setting for mobile devices which is about 10-20% faster than speed 8.
  - Bug fixes:
    . VP9 denoiser issue.
    . VP9 partition issue for 1080p.
