Please, can we had slightly more information about that release?

I think the main highlights are:

- The API/ABI break (implied by the major bump)
- The many improvements in the native AAC encoder making it the
  recommended one (libaacplus and libvo-aacenc are removed)
- A ton of filters were added
- Many ASM optimizations that weren't mentioned in the Changelog (I don't
  remember them)

... other developers will probably want to point out a few more things.
