On my side, what I want:
Vulkan AV1. It's ready to be posted once the spec goes public very very soon.
This shouldn't even become a blocker unless you want a release tagged immediately.

And those that I don't consider as blockers, just something nice to have:

Vulkan encode (H264). Needs about a week of work.
HE-AAC 960-point.
Preliminary xHE-AAC support. Not sure.
AAC prepad fixes - perhaps partial (off by one sample for SBR).

Should be able to finish a couple by mid-February for a release by
late February like last time.
