So... what is so much different about it from 4.x?

  Did you click the link?

    Not the parent but the link is quite opaque. I'd really like it if someone more familiar with the project could explain what these changes mean, which ones are exciting and why and whether there were any interesting challenges that were overcome.

      Indeed. At work, I find that doing a little bit of curation on the merged PRs makes for more much readable & relevant release notes.

      Something like that: http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2022/FFmpeg-5.0 http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2022/FFmpeg-5.0

    I did, but none of those lines in the changelog mean anything to me, none look like important or major, because I'm not a specialist of this project, so from this link I don't know what makes the change from 4.x to 5.0, but I'd like to know, I use FFmpeg from time to time, and I'm genuinely curious Could you explain what you did see in that link in a few simple words?

    Do these lines mean new, modified or removed?

  Looks like a lot of new codecs and filters, but no breaking changes? I'm not sure if ffmpeg follows semver at all. I thought their API was pretty stable after the big change from "next_video_frame" (or whatever it was called) to the send/receive packet/frame model.
