opus - Jun 2018 - Opus 1.3-rc released

Hi,

I just released Opus 1.3-rc. This is a release candidate for the
upcoming Opus 1.3. Changes include:
- 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)
- Minor bug fixes

It's likely that both hardening (--enable-hardening) and ambisonics
(--enable-ambisonics) will be enabled by default in 1.3-final, so please
give those a try.

Cheers,

I've pushed these to F28 and rawhide with hardening and ambisonics enabled.
