This Opus 1.3-rc release candidate of the upcoming Opus 1.3 includes:

  • Making it possible to use SILK down to bitrates around 5 kb/s
  • Using wideband encoding down to 9 kb/s
  • Improving security (including a new --enable-hardening option)
  • Minor quality improvement on tones
  • Improving Ambisonics support (still experimental)
