> They planned to start beating H.265 both in quality and in efficient decoding in 2016/2017. Did that happen?

If I'm not missing something, this suggests that Daala's quality will be comparable to H.265. No doubt encoders for both will continue to get better.

Not just comparable, the goal was to be ahead.

A good goal to be sure, but one that it doesn't look like they'll make.

IMHO, "comparable to H.265" may not be as inspiring but is still very impressive. If they can do this without stepping on existing IP, it'll be an incredible achievement.

Looks like a number of parts are used in AV1, but not lapped transforms?
