Is the bitstream actually frozen now? There was a weird "AV1 is there" message recently and then some comments saying, "but not really, bitstream is still not frozen". I saw several claims of bitstream freeze, but never sourced by any official statement. As someone who's not deep into AV1, but watching interested from outside, I can say that communication is not ideal.

As of 3 days ago... yes the bitstream is frozen (see the reference PDF) https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-spec/ https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-spec/ The date in the PDF is 2018-06-25.

> As someone who's not deep into AV1, but watching interested from outside, I can say that communication is not ideal. That former announcement was PR/Marketing only. The devs (all the ones I saw) didn't know it was coming. Yes, the bitstream is frozen. I can't find an HTML version for some reason, but this page links to the finalized 1.0 version of the spec: https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-spec/ https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-spec/
