I love ffmpeg, but don't know what most of these changes mean. Anything major being added/updated?

I am excited for AV1 stuff, included in the highlights: SVT-AV1 encoding and AV1 VAAPI decoding.

If anyone is an AV guru and wants to blog highlights, I for one would love to read it. I use ffmpeg blind by recipes, I'd love an industry insider commentary on the good bits

AV1 decoder and SVT-AV1 encoding (essentially, AV1 for broadcast) jumped out to my eye, nothing else tbh

Mostly it plays more file formats from old games. I guess someone's been doing preservation work.

For a typical 1080p "linux iso" what filesize difference will there be between x265 and av1?

Maybe that just shows off my ignorance, but reading the changelogs (current and past), I never realized that ffmpeg contains so many "niche" features.
