Richard Hoare">"Hoare"</span></h3>
+  <p>
+  A new minor release, <a href="download.html#release_8.1">FFmpeg 8.1 <span 
title="Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare">"Hoare"</span></a>,
+  is now available for download. Here are some of the highlights:
+  <ul>
+    <li>Decoders: xHE-AAC Mps212 (experimental) MPEG-H decoding via 
libmpeghdec</li>
+    <li>EXIF Metadata Parsing</li>
+    <li>LC-EVC: support for parsing and forwarding metadata</li>
+    <li>Vulkan compute-based codecs: ProRes encoding and decoding, DPX 
decoding</li>
+    <li>D3D12: D3D12 H.264/AV1 encoding, scale_d3d12, mestimate_d3d12, 
deinterlace_d3d12 filters</li>
+    <li>Rockchip H.264/HEVC hardware encoding</li>
+    <li>IAMF: Projection mode Ambisonic Audio Elements muxing and demuxing</li>
+    <li>Formats: hxvs demuxer</li>
+    <li>Filters: drawvg, vpp_amf</li>
+  </ul>
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  This release also features a lot of internal changes. swscale's rewrite is 
continuing to progress, thanks to the STF, with numerous
+  optimizations, backend changes, and support for Vulkan scaling. The Vulkan 
code is undergoing an initiative to remove the runtime
+  dependency on GLSL compilers, with all the compute-based codecs already 
ported to compile-time GLSL, along with several filters.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  A companion post about the Vulkan Compute-based codec implementations has 
been published on the
+  <a href="https://www.khronos.org/blog/";>Khronos blog</a>. Written by Khronos 
member and maintainer of the
+  FFmpeg Vulkan code, Lynne, it features the innovations made it possible to 
widely deploy complete codecs running on GPUs,
+  and future plans for more codec implementations.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    We recommend that users, distributors, and system integrators to upgrade 
unless they use current git master.
+  </p>
