Version 1.0.31 (2021-01-24)

  * The releaser of libsndfile starting from this version is the libsndfile team
    member @SoapGentoo, see AUTHORS for details.
  * Implement fast SSE2 optimized psf_lrintf() and psf_lrintf() functions to
    improve perfomance when libsndfile is built using Visual C++ (especially)
    and other compilers on x86 and AMD64 platforms. See also description of
    ENABLE_SSE2 CMake option in README.md.
  * Documentation:
    * Move site to new URL: http://libsndfile.github.io/libsndfile/
    * Convert documentation pages from HTML to Markdown
    * Use GitHub's Jekyll static site generator to generate static HTML pages
      for site
    * Fix api.md table error, thanks to @zodf0055980
    * Other docuemntation fixes and updates
  * Change CMake's project name from sndfile to libsndfile as it should be.
  * Change behaviour of ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME option. In short:
    * You can use ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME for CMake >= 3.15 without error.
    * You can use your our method to set MSVC runtime library flags if none of
      ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME and CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY were set.
    Advanced information:
    * If this option is defined (set to ON or OFF), set CMP0091 policy to OLD
      (we handle MSVC runtime library flags using compiler flags), set
      corresponding compiler flags for user.
    * NEW: If this option is not defined, set CMP0091 policy to OLD (we handle
      MSVC runtime library flags using compiler flags), don't touch compiler
      options, allow user to set it manually.
    * NEW: If new CMake option CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY is set, change
      CMP0091 policy to NEW (we handle MSVC runtime library flags using that
      option), don't touch compiler flags.
    * NEW: If both ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME and CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY are set,
      terminate configuration with fatal error.
    * For MinGW toolchain this option is experimental. If you enabled it and
      then disabled again, you need to clear CMake cache (delete
      CMakeCache.txt).
  * Make CMake clip test faster.
