+  <p>
+  A new major release, <a href="download.html#release_8.0">FFmpeg 8.0 <span title="David A. Huffman">"Huffman"</span></a>,
+  is now available for download.
+  Thanks to several delays, and modernization of our entire infrastructure, this release ended up
+  being one of our largest releases to date. In short, its new features are:
+  <ul>
+    <li>Native decoders: <span title="Advanced Professional Video">APV</span>, ProRes RAW, RealVideo 6.0, Sanyo LD-ADPCM, G.728</li>
+    <li>VVC decoder improvements: <span title="Intra Block Copy">IBC</span>,
+                                  <span title="Adaptive Color Transform">ACT</span>,
+                                  Palette Mode</li>
+    <li>Vulkan compute-based codecs: FFv1 (encode and decode), ProRes RAW (decode only)</li>
+    <li>Hardware accelerated decoding: Vulkan VP9, VAAPI VVC, OpenHarmony H264/5</li>
+    <li>Hardware accelerated encoding: Vulkan AV1, OpenHarmony H264/5</li>
+    <li>Formats: MCC, G.728, Whip, APV</li>
+    <li>Filters: colordetect, pad_cuda, scale_d3d11, Whisper, and others</li>
+  </ul>
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  A new class of decoders and encoders based on pure Vulkan compute implementation have been added.
+  Vulkan is a cross-platform, open standard set of APIs that allows programs to use GPU hardware in various ways,
+  from drawing on screen, to doing calculations, to decoding video via custom hardware accelerators.
+  Rather than using a custom hardware accelerator present, these codecs are based on compute shaders, and work
+  on any implementation of Vulkan 1.3.<br>
+  Decoders use the same hwaccel API and commands, so users do not need to do anything special to enable them,
+  as enabling <a href="https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro#Vulkan">Vulkan decoding</a> is sufficient to use them.<br>
+  Encoders, like our hardware accelerated encoders, require specifying a new encoder (ffv1_vulkan).
+  Currently, the only codecs supported are: FFv1 (encoding and decoding) and ProRes RAW (decode only).
+  ProRes (encode+decode) and VC-2 (encode+decode) implementations are complete and currently in review,
+  to be merged soon and available with the next minor release.<br>
+  Only codecs specifically designed for parallelized decoding can be implemented in such a way, with
+  more mainstream codecs not being planned for support.<br>
+  Depending on the hardware, these new codecs can provide very significant speedups, and open up
+  possibilities to work with them for situations like non-linear video editors and
+  lossless screen recording/streaming, so we are excited to learn what our downstream users can make with them.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  The project has recently started to modernize its infrastructure. Our mailing list servers have been
+  fully upgraded, and we have recently started to accept contributions via a new forge, available on
+  <a href="https://code.ffmpeg.org/">code.ffmpeg.org</a>, running a Forgejo instance.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    As usual, we recommend that users, distributors, and system integrators to upgrade unless they use current git master.
+  </p>
